Coupling Data Science Techniques and Numerical Weather Prediction Models for High-Impact Weather Prediction
(2016-08-12)
Meteorologists have access to more model guidance and observations than ever before, but this additional information does not necessarily lead to better forecasts. New tools are needed to reduce the cognitive load on ...
Co-Regulations of Spartina alterniflora Invasion and Exogenous Nitrogen Loading on Soil N2O Efflux in Subtropical Mangrove Mesocosms
(PLos One, 2016-01-04)
Both plant invasion and nitrogen (N) enrichment should have significant impact on mangrove ecosystems in coastal regions around the world. However, how N2O efflux in mangrove wetlands responds to these environmental changes ...
Enforcing Christian Nationalism: Examining the Link Between Group Identity and Punitive Attitudes in the United States
(2016-12-16)
I explore how the convergence of one’s religious and national identities influences levels of authoritarian attitudes towards crime and deviance using data from the second wave of the Baylor Religion survey. Drawing on ...
USE OF THE HLD EQUATION TO DETERMINE SURFACTANT ADSORPTION AT SOLID SURFACES
(2016-07-08)
The objective of this work is to develop and refine a mathematical model based on the fundamentals of the hydrophilic-lipophilic deviation equation in order to describe and predict surfactant adsorption onto reservoir rocks ...
ASSEMBLING THE BOX: THE ROLE OF CONSTRAINTS IN CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING
(2016-05-13)
Although traditional conceptions of creativity argue for the benefits of a free and unconstrained creative process, recent research suggests that implementing constraints may enhance creative problem solving. Previous ...
The Design and Development of a Survey Instrument to Measure Factors that Influence Choice Goals of Forensic Science Majors
(2016-12)
Colleges and universities are encouraged to strengthen forensic science programs to combat that shortage of highly educated and trained forensic scientists entering the field. To meet these demands and expectations, ...
Experimental Study of Proppant Pack Deformation
(2016)
Unconventional reservoirs, especially shales are drilled horizontally and hydraulically fractured for economical production. Proppant is carried and placed with the use of fracturing fluid to maintain fracture conductivity ...
The Effect of the Antibacterial Handsoap Matrix on the Kinetics of Triclosan Dissolution from Sand
(2016-12-16)
Triclosan (5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol) is present in many common household products. Most notably, triclosan, is an active ingredient in disinfecting hand soaps, cosmetics, and dental products because of its ...
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ENERGY DRINK CONSUMPTION AND PERCEIVED STRESS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS
(2016-08-10)
This study explored the relationship between energy drink consumption, reasons for drinking energy drinks, and perceived stress. This study combined the use of an energy drink consumption survey and the revised university ...
ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI IN THE ULTRAVIOLET SPECTRUM
(2016-05-13)
Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) produce rich, luminescent spectra across the electro- magnetic spectrum. This work focuses on topics in the ultraviolet region, where lie the broad absorption line outflows innate to Broad ...
