A Phenomenological Exploration of Self-Directed Learning Among Successful Minority Entrepreneurs
(2013)
This transcendental, phenomenological study explored the Self-directed learning (SDL) of 10 successful minority entrepreneurs. Two SDL theories serve as lenses for the study, Spear and Mocker's (1984) Organizing Circumstance ...
The Impact of Fillers on Lineup Performance
(2017)
Filler siphoning theory posits that the presence of fillers (known innocents) in a lineup protects an innocent suspect
from being chosen by siphoning choices away from that innocent suspect. This mechanism has been proposed ...
Solid Acid Catalyzed Polysaccharide Hydrolysis
(2012)
In addition to the rising costs of gasoline and the depletion of fossil fuels, air pollution caused by burning fossil fuels has increased the need to develop alternative renewable fuels. One possible alternative is the ...

MICRO-STRUCTURE OF GAS SHALES AND ITS EFFECTS ON GAS STORAGE AND PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE
(2011)
This dissertation includes discussions on three fundamental topics that are relevant to gas shale reservoir characterization and engineering. First, pore structure of organic-rich gas shale samples are investigated at the ...
A NOVEL POST-HOC MATCHING PROCEDURE USING STATISTICAL LEARNING METHODS
(2016)
In this thesis, a statistical learning method is leveraged to create a novel measure for conducting post-hoc matching between a treatment group and a candidate set. Post-hoc matching is a necessary element in many non-random ...
Piano Concerto No. 1, "Concert of Sages"
(2018-12-14)
Concert of Sages comes out of the duality of my being a composer and a pianist, and my desire to express this duality. As the orchestra is a prime test of a composers’ mettle, a concerto is a prime test of a concert ...
SEISMIC FACIES CLASSIFICATION OF THE LOWER STRAWN FORMATION, BEND-ARCH, FORT WORTH BASIN, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
(2016-12-17)
The Bend Arch- Fort Worth Basin is a tectonically active area along north-central Texas that exhibits a complex sediment distribution. While Pennsylvanian plays have been one of the main exploratory targets, the depositional ...
INTEGRATED GEOPHYSICAL STUDIES OF THE FORT WORTH BASIN (TEXAS), HARNEY BASIN (OREGON), AND SNAKE RIVER PLAIN (IDAHO)
(2013)
Geophysical methods such as seismic, gravity, magnetics, electric, and electromagnetics are capable of identifying subsurface features but each has a different spatial resolution. Although, each of these methods are ...
Unsupervised seismic facies using Gaussian mixture models
(2017-08)
ABSTRACT
As the use of seismic attributes becomes more widespread, multivariate seismic analysis has become more commonplace for seismic facies analysis. Unsupervised machine learning techniques provide methods of ...
