Archaea in mammalian gut microbiomes
(2023-05)
Archaea are the most enigmatic of the three domains of life. Most archaea are extremophiles found in highly acidic, high-salt, or high-temperature environments. However, members of the archaea also have been discovered in ...
Fluid induced drilling dynamics: A mechanically scaled experimental investigation
(2023-05)
Drillstring vibration is an unavoidable detrimental dynamic response due to continuous acting external forces and dynamic loading applied during the drilling operations. Drillstring vibration is one of the primary reasons ...
Water supply and climate change: The impact of water stress on fire protection systems
(2023-05)
Many fire protection systems rely almost entirely on having an adequate water supply to aid in control or suppression of fire. Furthermore, local fire departments also rely on the water supply as a part of their response. ...
Interdisciplinary re-examination of American flag imagery in late nineteenth cenutry Lakota beadwork
(2023-05)
This thesis reexamines the deployment of American flag imagery in in late nineteenth century Indigenous Lakota beadwork. The profusion of flag imagery by Lakota women artists is well documented as a phenomenon, yet despite ...
Determination of the quantity of earth’s gravity imparted on particles in a rotating cylinder fluid regime based on particle density and rotation speed
(2023-05)
This research is an in-depth analysis of the movement of yeast -like particles in a Rotating Wall Vessel (RWV) using a series of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. The purpose of the RWV is to counteract the ...
Factors affecting crop insurance use among underserved producers
(2023-05)
Historically, minority producers have been plagued by racial disparities resulting in them settling in areas less suitable for farming and being discriminated against in federal farm programs. In the two most recent Farm ...
