AN INVESTIGATION INTO DEMOGRAPHIC AND MACROSOCIAL CAUSES OF SIX GREENHOUSE GASES
(2016-05-13)
The single largest ecological crisis facing the world in the coming century is the problem of climate change and its impacts. The state of the world today is the direct result of the history of unequal exchange between ...
INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)
Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ...
Interband Cascade Structures for Infrared Photodetectors and Thermophotovoltaic Devices
(2016-12-16)
Interband cascade (IC) devices are a family of quantum engineered heterostructures that include: IC lasers (ICLs), IC infrared photodetectors (ICIPs) and IC thermophotovoltaic (ICTPV) devices. In these structures, the ...
Mapping and Analyzing Urban Growth: A Study to Identify Drivers of Urban Growth in West Africa
(2016-05)
Urban area expansion is one of the most powerful anthropogenic forces changing the earth‘s surface. Such changes are happening at much faster rates in African and Asian cities. Several interconnected but distinct processes ...
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUANTUM COMPRESSIVE IMAGING IN LOW PHOTON REGIME BY CONSIDERING PHOTON STATISTICS
(2016-06-22)
Compressive Imaging has been an extensively researched area inoptical imaging, object tracking,satellite applications,etc. There are many signalrecovery methods and comparative analyses of different algorithms ...
Activation of ERK and NF-κB during HARE-Mediated Heparin Uptake Require Only One of the Four Endocytic Motifs
(PLos One, 2016-04-21)
Fifteen different ligands, including heparin (Hep), are cleared from lymph and blood by the Hyaluronan (HA) Receptor for Endocytosis (HARE; derived from Stabilin-2 by proteolysis), which contains four endocytic motifs ...
CORRELATING RATE OF PENETRATION AND BIT TRIPS TO 3D SURFACE SEISMIC DATA, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2016)
While initially thought to be laterally homogeneous, operators quickly realized that unconventional resource plays can exhibit considerable geologic heterogeneity. Since this realization, 3D surface seismic analysis has ...
Innovative Visualizations Shed Light on Avian Nocturnal Migration
(PLos One, 2016-08-24)
Globally, billions of flying animals undergo seasonal migrations, many of which occur at night. The temporal and spatial scales at which migrations occur and our inability to directly observe these nocturnal movements makes ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGY AND STABILITY BEHAVIOUR OF SURFACTANT STABILIZED WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
(2016-12-16)
Formation water almost always comes out with crude oil production. Under extreme mixing and high turbulence provided by pumps, valves, chokes and pipelines in the production system, water and oil can mix to form highly ...
FRACTURING OPTIMIZATION BASED ON DYNAMIC CONDUCTIVITY
(2016)
This thesis presents a systematic approach to evaluate and optimize production performance of fractured wells in tight oil formations. Underperformed hydraulically fractured wells have been widely reported; poor design is ...
