(2016-12)
The purpose of this study is to explore two aspects of the oratorio Jephte by Giacomo Carissimi: first is the manner in which Carissimi used The Doctrine of the Affections to organize the music textually, and second is the ...
Stress Analysis of Recent Earthquakes in Oklahoma
(2016-07)
The central US, especially Oklahoma, has become a seismically active region since 2009. Knowing the current stress state of the crust in Oklahoma is essential for understanding this activity increase. My thesis focuses on ...
An investigation of student and teacher flow experiences in the collegiate group piano classroom
(2016-05-13)
The purpose of this study was to explore the flow experiences of group piano teachers and their students, as well as determine the relevance of specific classroom conditions on the flow experiences in the collegiate group ...
Charge Structure and Lightning Patterns in a Simulated Mesoscale Convective System
(2016-05-13)
Observational analyses of electric field measurements and inferred charge structure within the stratiform region of a mesoscale convective system (MCS) repeatedly reveal quasi-steady, horizontal charge layers at and above ...
Responses of Terrestrial Biogeochemical Cycles to Global Change – Syntheses and Data-Model Integration
(2016-12)
Global observations and model simulations show that atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations and surface temperatures have been and will keep increasing. These environmental changes have significant influences on ...
Large Scale Research Data Archiving: Training for an Inconvenient Technology
(2016-08-03)
ABSTRACT:
At small scales, storage is straightforward to afford and to use, but at large scales – from several Terabytes (TB) to many Petabytes (PB) and soon Exabytes (EB) – tradeoffs must be made between cost and ...
COMPONENT IMPORTANCE OF MULTI-COMMODITY NETWORKS
(2016)
Preparedness planning for critical infrastructure networks requires evaluating the impact to the network when its components are disrupted. We extend the well-studied problem of component importance measures in single-commodity ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF FUNGAL CONTAMINANTS IN B20 BIODIESEL STORAGE TANKS AND THEIR EFFECT ON FUEL COMPOSITION
(2016-08)
The liquid transportation fuel B20 biodiesel is an 80:20 blend of petroleum-derived
ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) and biodiesel. Although B20 biodiesel represents a
fungible fuel with a reduced carbon footprint compared ...
INTEGRATING EFFECTS OF GEOMECHANICS, PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONFINEMENT AND PERMEABLITY AS A FUNCTION OF PORE SIZE ON GAS AND CONDENSATE PRODUCTION FROM UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
(2016-05-13)
Modeling production in a naturally fractured shale gas condensate reservoir that has been stimulated in commercial simulators faces many challenges. Phase behavior and geomechanics cannot be easily incorporated and have ...
