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 ...
TRADING NATURAL GAS FUTURES THROUGH SIMULATION PREDICTIVE MODELING AND OPTIMIZATION
(2016)
For many years, natural gas prices were strongly correlated with those of crude oil. Recently, natural gas prices started to show an independent trend. Natural gas prices are driven by the law of supply and demand which ...
METAPHORS WE BOMB BY: THE VALUES AND MEANINGS BEHIND SUPPORTING DRONES IN BOMBING ATTACKS
(2016-05-13)
This study theoretically examines the metaphors and values associated with exceptional patriotism and Christians in order to examine the support of military drones in bombing attacks against terrorism. Utilizing George ...
Revisiting the mechanisms of clay damage
(2016-05)
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of water interaction with Wyoming-type montmorillonites. The study focused on (1) the clay swelling process for different cations with the ...
The Concept of Capability Consciousness: Learning From Helen Keller
(2016-05-13)
This dissertation is a philosophical analysis of the meaning of a concept I name “capability consciousness” and propose as useful for special education. Understanding this concept can help us answer an educationally and ...
Integrated Production Data Analysis of Horizontal Fractured Well in Unconventional Reservoir
(2016-12-16)
This thesis presents a novel analytical solution to predict the expansion of drainage volume for compound transient linear flow system consisting of stimulated-reservoir volume (SRV) and unstimulated shale/tight sandstone ...
