Computational Electromagnetics Applied to Scattering Observed by Polarimetric Weather Radar
(2015-12-18)
The primary topics of this dissertation are issues existing in the current ensemble scattering procedures. These procedures are failing to quantitatively reproduce polarimetric signatures from resolution volumes filled ...
FUNDAMENTAL HYDRAULIC FRACTURING CONCEPTS FOR POORLY CONSOLIDATED FORMATIONS
(2012)
This dissertation examines -by means of the discrete element method- the mechanisms that govern hydraulic fracturing in poorly consolidated formations. The motivation to take on this project was the widely reported ...
Split ends (spen), A TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATOR, INHIBITS MYOSIN ACTIVITY TO REGULATE NEURONAL REMODELING DURING METAMORPHOSIS
(2011)
Animal neurons dynamically change their morphologies in response to steroid hormone signaling to adapt to changing environments. The molecular mechanisms underlying animal neuronal remodeling, however, remain largely ...
USING A LOW-ORDER MODEL TO DETECT AND CHARACTERIZE INTENSE VORTICES IN MULTIPLE-DOPPLER RADAR DATA
(2010)
A new multiple-Doppler radar analysis technique is presented for the objective detection and characterization of intense vortices. The technique consists of fitting radial wind data from two or more radars to a simple ...
Evaluation of Network Mobility Schemes for Terrestrial and Satellite Networks
(2012)
NEtwork MObility (NEMO) supports the mobility of multiple Internet-connected devices. However, NEMO Basic Support Protocol suffers from unoptimized route leading to large latency in communication and header overhead. To ...
Forgiveness and the Pursuit of Communication Goals in Transgression Discourses
(2010)
In social psychology, forgiveness has been treated almost exclusively as a phenomenon that involves only two parties - namely, victims and their offenders. The present research takes a broader perspective by assuming that ...
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF A CRETACEOUS TRIPLE POROSITY CARBONATE RESERVOIR CONTRIBUTION OF PORE TYPES TO HYDROCARBON PORE VOLUME AND PRODUCTION, CAMPECHE SOUND, GULF OF MEXICO
(2019-05-10)
Campeche Sound, located southeast of the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. represents about 80% of the national hydrocarbons production of Mexico, and comprises several giant oilfields, including Cantarell and ...
THE IMPACTS CLIMATE VARIABILITY AND ANTHROPOGENIC ACTIVITY ON TERRESTRIAL ECOSYSTEM CARBON CYCLING
(2019-12)
There is a near consensus among climate scientists that global temperatures are rising, climate variability will increase, and climate extremes will become more extreme. What is debated, however, is how terrestrial ecosystems ...
CAUSING A RUCKUS: RACIAL FRAMING IN POLITICAL BLOGS DURING THE 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
(2010)
This investigation seeks to observe and examine the presence of racial framing during the 2008 presidential election. Twelve hypotheses were advanced for this study observing explicit and implicit racial framing, racial ...
