THE EFFECT OF PORE SPACE ON FLUID FLOW AND PHASE BEHAVIOR IN TIGHT FORMATIONS
(2019-05)
Unconventional resources have led to a new abundance of natural oil and gas supply all over the world over the past decade and are expected to play a vital role in the future of this industry. Despite tremendous growth of ...
Setting the standard: Perceptions and implementations of standards for mathematics teacher preparation programs
(2019-12)
The development and use of standards have become a key aspect of education.
Significant research has been conducted to understand the perceptions and implementations of standards in PK-12 school settings. There exists ...
Audit Signals of Accountability and Transparency in the Marketplace of Donor Information
(2019-05-10)
Potential donors have many sources of information when evaluating charities. IRS Form 990 is a readily accessible source of information. Charity rating organizations exist to help donors evaluate charities (i.e. Charity ...
Simulated Impacts of Tropopause-Penetrating Convection on the Chemical Composition of the Upper Troposphere and Lower Stratosphere
(2019)
Tropopause-penetrating convection is capable of rapidly transporting air from the lower troposphere to the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS). Since the vertical redistribution of gases in the atmosphere by ...
METABOLOMIC ANALYSIS OF LIVE SINGLE CELLS AND SPHEROID SECRETIONS USING MASS SPECTROMETRY: TOWARDS UNDERSTANDING OF CELLULAR METABOLISM
(2019-05-10)
This dissertation describes the single cell metabolomics analysis and microscale extracellular metabolites analysis using the Single-probe mass spectrometry (MS) techniques.
Chapter one summarizes the current ...
All That is Solid Melts into Air Travel: Environments, Technologies, and the Modern Nation at Trans-Canada Air Lines
(2019)
This dissertation explores how Trans-Canada Air Lines (1937-1965) built, maintained, and subverted what I call the “modern envirotechnical nation” in its public-facing discourse. Euro-Canadian national identity in the ...
BARITE SAG UNDER DYNAMIC AND ELEVATED TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING
(2019-05-10)
Barite sag is an undesired occurrence that causes density variation in the wellbore. It is a problem that is related to both fluid property (mainly rheology) and drilling practices, and it arises mostly in invert emulsion ...
New Simple Representations of Leavitt Path Algebras
(2019-12-13)
This thesis is about representations of Leavitt Path Algebras (LPAs). Specifically, we first generalize a previously known construction of twisted Chen modules over the Leavitt Path Algebra of a directed graph. We then ...
MATE CHOICE, ILLUSIONS, AND BEHAVIORAL DIVERGENCE IN POECILIIDAE
(2019-12-13)
Chapter 1: Illusions are commonplace and distort perception in ways that make objects appear different from reality. Such phenomena may also play a role in mate evaluation because body size and ornament size are signals ...
An Investigation and Solution to Spatial Interferers Before RF Front End for Phased Arrays
(2019-05-10)
Fully digital arrays offer significant advantages in terms of flexibility and performance, however they suffer from dynamic range issues when used in the presence of in-band interferers. Higher dynamic range components may ...
