Simulation of small-angle scattering patterns via a Monte-Carlo technique.
(2000)
Small angle scattering (SAS) is sensitive to morphology on the nanometer length scale but data analysis can be somewhat difficult. Analytical models exist to analyze SAS data but some morphologies do not have realistic ...
PHYSICAL TOPOLOGY DESIGN AND ROUTING ALGORITHMS FOR DEGREE-CONSTRAINED FSO MESH NETWORKS
(2008)
Free-space optical (FSO) mesh networks are emerging as broadband communication networks because of their high bandwidth (up to Gbps), low cost, and easy installation. However, there are two existing problems in the deployment ...
A SYSTEMATIC UPSCALING APPROACH TO PREDICT PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF TIGHT SHALE FORMATIONS
(2017-05-12)
This thesis presents a novel method to predict fluid flow in tight shale formations. Conventional Darcy models have proven valuable when working with conventional reservoirs, but cannot reliably relate microscopic dispersion ...
The Intentional Withdrawal of Organizational Citizenship Behavior
(2017-12)
Current definitions of withdrawal behavior include actions that fall beneath the umbrella for counterproductive work behaviors (CWBs). These acts of withdrawal include behaviors such as lateness, absenteeism and turnover ...
Properties of Noble Metal Nanoparticles: Molecular Dynamics and Density Functional Theory Studies
(2010)
Supported metal nanoparticles play an important role in heterogeneous catalysis. In recent years, carbon nanotubes, because of their unique properties, have drawn interest as supports. The structural and dynamic properties ...
Three-Dimensional Bone Tissue Engineering Strategies Using Polymeric Scaffolds
(2013)
Bone tissue engineering has emerged due to a lack in effective and convenient bone graft alternatives to treat skeletal defects. This has lead to research into materials and methods with the goal of producing viable bone ...
Native Variants of the MRB1 Complex Exhibit Specialized Functions in Kinetoplastid RNA Editing
(PLos One, 2015-04-30)
Adaptation and survival of Trypanosoma brucei requires editing of mitochondrial mRNA by uridylate (U) insertion and deletion. Hundreds of small guide RNAs (gRNAs) direct the mRNA editing at over 3,000 sites. RNA editing ...
Inmate Recidivism as a Measure of Private Prison Performance
(Crime & Delinquency, 2008-07-01)
The growth of the private corrections industry has elicited interest in the comparative performance of state and private prisons. One way to measure the service quality of private prisons is to examine inmates' postrelease ...
The impact of Oklahoma's winter wheat belt on the mesoscale environment.
(2003)
The research documented in this manuscript demonstrates that Oklahoma's winter wheat belt has a significant impact on the near-surface, mesoscale environment during growth and after harvest. Differences in near-surface ...
Data Assimilation Using The Ensemble Kalman Filter With Emphasis On The Inequality Constraints
(2010)
The reliability of reservoir models generally increases as more data are included during their construction. In the recent past, the ensemble Kalman lter (EnKF) technique has established itself as a viable data assimilation ...
