AN INVESTIGATION OF EXPERIMENTAL PARAMETERS REQUIRED TO STUDY HYDROCARBON PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONSTANT VOLUME AND CONSTANT COMPOSITION CONDITIONS
(2016)
Accurate fluid phase behavior evaluation is essential for reservoir engineers to predict the type of reservoir, oil and gas in place, and develop proper production strategies. The change in phase behavior and phase equilibrium ...
ALTERNATIVE SURFACTANT FORMULATION FOR NON-AQUEOUS PHASE LIQUID (NAPL) REMOVAL
(2016-05)
Due to the inefficiency of the pump and treat method in removing hydrocarbon contamination from ground water, a new method called surfactant Enhanced Aquifer remediation (SEAR) has been developed. SEAR is just a chemical ...
Birds of Two Oceans? Trans-Andean and Divergent Migration of Black Skimmers (Rynchops niger cinerascens) from the Peruvian Amazon
(PLos One, 2016-01-13)
Seasonal flooding compels some birds that breed in aquatic habitats in Amazonia to undertake annual migrations, yet we know little about how the complex landscape of the Amazon region is used seasonally by these species. ...
Reservoir Characterization and Chemostratigraphy of the Goddard Shale in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province
(2016)
The Goddard Shale of the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province, or SCOOP, has become a formation of interest in recent years. However, there is a paucity of published information in regards to this formation. Therefore, the ...
Characterization of Hydrophobic Nanoporous Particle Liquids for Energy Absorption
(2016-12)
Recently, the development of hydrophobic nanoporous technologies has drawn increased attention, especially for the applications of energy absorption and impact protection. Although significant amount of research has been ...
CONCURSO FEVER: THE EPIDEMIC SWEEPING BRAZIL
(2016)
This dissertation investigates public sector work and the desire for concursos in northeastern Brazil. It considers the meaning of civil service to “new” middle class Brazilians and seeks to understand how standardized ...
In-Situ Measurements and Remotely Sensed Estimations of Surface Fluxes over the Southern Great Plains of the United States
(2016-12)
Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important variable in the hydrologic cycle. As such, improved understanding of the spatial and temporal variability of ET is critical to weather and climate analysis and prediction, water ...
Comparison of Interval Valued Pareto-Optimal Alternatives
(2016)
Everyday tradeoff decisions are made where criteria must be compared,
evaluated, and decided upon. In real world applications, variables have an inherent
amount of uncertainty that must be regarded when making a ...
Understanding Thermochemical Process And Feedstock Compositional Impacts On Strategies To Control Pyrolysis And Torrefaction Product Distributions
(2016-05-13)
Growing concern about the effects of post-Industrial revolution fossil carbon dioxide release has led to large-scale research efforts to understand how to address and mitigate future fossil CO2 emissions. Within the scope ...
Location, Location, Location: What Factors Drive Where U.S.-Based NGOs Go?
(2016-05-13)
This dissertation advances our understanding of how U.S.-based transnational nongovernmental organizations (TNGOs) with international scopes of work navigate decision-making related to country-level location choices. It ...
