Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry and Variable Temperature Infrared Spectroscopy Investigations of Aromatic Acid Interactions with Montmorillonite Clays and Acid/Base Properties of Diiron Coordination Complexes
(2015-12)
Thermogravimetry-Mass Spectrometry (TG-MS) and Variable-Temperature Diffuse Reflection Infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (VT-DRIFTS) were used to investigate interactions of benzoic acid, salicylic acid, and ...
Applications of Diatomic Molecules
(2015-05-08)
I present a study and application of diatomic molecules to various uses in the laboratory. It begins with an experiment to trap ultracold nitric oxide, then proceeds to multiple experiments where tellurium is utilized to ...
PREDICTIONS OF CRITICAL GAS RATES IN HORIZONTAL AND DEVIATED WELLS
(2015-05)
The author’s intent through this work is to shed light on the current methods of predicting the onsets of liquid loading and to clarify that there is a difference in critical gas rate predictions between horizontal and ...
SURFACTANT-ONLY EOR FOR HIGH SALINITY BRINE
(2015)
Developing a surfactant formulation for reservoir having high salinity/total dissolved solids (TDS) brine is a challenging task because surfactant not only phase separate or precipitate but also show high adsorption on ...
Relationships between Monthly Agroclimate Variability and Local Crop Yield in the Central and Eastern United States and Southern Canada
(2015-05-08)
Short-term agroclimate is defined here as the monthly-to-seasonal meteorological, geological, biological, and psychological factors that modulate local and regional crop yield. Modern agricultural production in the central ...
Spectrum Formation at Late Times in Type Ia Supernovae
(2015-05-08)
I present a study of radiative transfer effects in type Ia supernovae ranging from 3-4 months to nearly 2 years post-maximum light. I explore several components of spectrum formation, beginning with a semi-analytic model ...
SYNTHESIS OF RUSSIAN AND WESTERN PERFORMING ART TRADITIONS IN VIOLIN MUSIC BY IVAN KHANDOSHKIN
(2015-05)
The notion of Russian violin school, in the broad sense, is often associated with the name of Leopold Auer and his disciples. However, few are aware that the violin performing art existed in Russia long before Auer's time ...
Electrochemical Characterization of Photocurable and Layer-By-Layer Assembled Ferrocene-Modified Linear Poly(ethylenimine) Bioelectrodes
(2015)
New methods of constructing enzymatic bioelectrodes based on ferrocene-modified linear poly(ethylenimine) (LPEI) were explored with the intent of lowering device fabrication times. Redox polymers were synthesized and ...
The Interpretive Development of Four Successful University Band and Wind Ensemble Conductors Concerning Lincolnshire Posy by Percy Grainger and Symphony in B flat by Paul Hindemith
(2015-05-08)
In this study, two monumental works from the wind band repertoire, Lincolnshire Posy (1937) by Percy Grainger (1882 - 1961) and Symphony in B flat (1951) by Paul Hindemith (1895 - 1963) were examined from an interpretive ...
Measurement of the Top Quark Pole Mass and QCD Radiation in Top Quark Pair Production using Electron-Muon Events with b-Tagged Jets in Proton-Proton Collisions at 7-8 TeV with the ATLAS Detector at the LHC
(2015)
As heavy as an atom of gold but much smaller than a proton, the top quark is the most massive fundamental particle known in the universe and an integral part of current particle physics research. The characteristics of the ...
