CATALYTIC ACYLATION, HYDROGENATION AND HYDRODEOXYGENATION OF LIGNIN-DERIVED AROMATIC MOLECULES
(2018-05-12)
Lignin-derived phenolic molecules are studied for three different chemistries including acylation, hydrogenation and hydrodeoxygenation. Acylation is an effective C-C bond forming reaction to condense acetic acid and ...

(2018-08)
This dissertation is broken into four chapters. In chapter I, I cover background literature and set the framework for the following chapters by describing the relationship between dinosaur ecology and ontogeny. In chapters ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Porous CNF/PDMS Nanocomposite for Sensing Application
(2018-08-02)
Electrically conductive polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomer-based materials are growing as one of the critical needs for the emerging field of wearable electronics due to its high elastic limits and good biocompatibility. ...
Extended Observation Particle Filter with SVD Template Generation Implemented for GPU
(2018-12)
This work presents a novel template updating strategy based on singular value decomposition (SVD) together with an expansion and extension of previous work combining observations across temporally adjacent frames to implement ...
The Changing Hydroclimate of the United States Great Plains: Meteorological and Climatological Impacts on Water Resources
(2018-12-14)
In the United States Great Plains (GP), understanding precipitation variability is key in developing an understanding of the present and future availability of water in the region. Numerous studies have investigated the ...
Teaching Virtue
(2018)
Can virtue be taught? The question is a controversial one, harking back to Confucianism and the Platonic dialogues. We assume that virtue can be taught in the sense that teachers can influence character development in ...

DYNAMIC DRILLING FLUIDS LOSS AND FILTRATION: IMPACT OF DYNAMIC WELLBORE CONDITIONS AND WELLBORE STRENGTHENING IMPLICATIONS
(2018-12-14)
Lost circulation (drilling fluid loss) and mud filtration have been investigated over the years because they lead to non-drilling time (NDT) and increase the overall well cost. It is usually the first source of damage to ...
Artist Power: Donald Judd's Museum and Foundation
(2018)
This thesis examines the Chinati and Judd Foundations, established by Minimal artist Donald Judd, to demonstrate how artists can use organizations to wield power and influence in the art world. The Chinati Foundation, a ...
