Anthropocentrism as an Illustrative Example of how Foundational Epistemologies Unconsciously and Consciously Impact the way we Live and Teach: It is not just Changing the way we Think, it is also Changing the way we Are
(2023-12-15)Climate change poses an immense threat to the planet and all life on earth, and yet in public education the environment continues to be an afterthought. The largely unnamed phenomenon of anthropocentrism is a driving force ... -
An Apparatus to study matter-wave quantum optics in sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
(2017)Spin-exchange collisions in quantum degenerate gases act as a nonlinear interaction that creates entanglement between atoms in different spin states. Therefore, they make it possible to study matter-wave quantum nonlinear ... -
Apparitional representations: disability history, reparative descriptions, and ethical failings in a special research collection
(2024-05-10)Reparative description is a trend in archival scholarship that seeks to address past harms caused by archives that misrepresented and silenced historically marginalized communities in their collections. Identifying and ... -
APPLICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES ON 2D RECONNAISSANCE SURVEYS
(2016-05-14)Reconnaissance surveys of 2D seismic data are acquired before most 3D seismic surveys to define the area of interest and regional trends. While seismic attributes are routinely applied to 3D data, they are less commonly ... -
Application of a New Yield Strength Acquisition Method to the Calculation of Collapse Pressure
(2018)The accuracy of a casing collapse prediction is critical to a successful casing design program. This is especially true today as the likelihood of HPHT reservoirs and difficult conditions downhole has become increasingly ... -
Application of a novel LCMS method to analyze polar biomarkers of the Woodford Shale, Wyche Farm Shale Pit, Oklahoma
(2021)This study examined the Wyche Farm-1 core and selected depths of interest for biomarker analysis. Previously employed methods for biomarker characterization were slow and labor-intensive using the gas chromatography mass ... -
Application of basalt fiber reinforced polymer rebar for prestressed concrete beams
(2022-08)All steel reinforced concrete infrastructure that is facing a chemical environment and corrosion will have their service life greatly reduced. With time it will lead to a premature and an inevitable failure of the steel ... -
APPLICATION OF MODERN 3D SEISMIC DATA ACQUIRED FOR DEEPER RESOURCE PLAYS TO SHALLOWER MATURE FIELDS – A RED FORK CASE STUDY
(2017-05)Utilizing a modern 3D survey acquired for a deeper resource play one can also examine potential drilling hazards and behind pipe pay in shallower formations. This study concentrates on the Red Fork sands that have been ... -
THE APPLICATION OF MULTIVARIATE DISTANCE MATRIX REGRESSION IN TRANSPORTATION FOR TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
(2017-12)A critical function of intelligent transportation systems is studying and analyzing the effects of road condition variables (e.g. construction, severe weather, and the like) on traffic to aid in improving road designs, ... -
Application of seismic attributes and machine learning clustering techniques to the characterization of faults in a post-salt reservoir, Jubarte Field (Campos Basin)
(2021-05-14)Seismic reflection datasets represent an important source of information capable of revealing structural features in the subsurface, such as fault zones. Faults can be interpreted using the original amplitude volumes, ... -
Application of seismic attributes and unsupervised machine learning methods for identification of hidden faults in basement and carbonate rocks
(2023-12-15)Seismic fault interpretation is a critical task for any type of energy industry and correct fault mapping can be crucial for the success of a project. Common geometric seismic attributes such as coherence and curvature are ... -
Application of Spectral Index-Based Logistic Regression to Detect Inland Water in the Caucasus
(2021-05-14)The Caucasus is a diverse region with many climate zones that range from subtropical lowlands to mountainous alpine areas. The Caucasus region also contains irrigated agricultural lands, heavily vegetated wetlands, ... -
Application of Tiab's Direct Synthesis technique to transient pressure response of non-Newtonian fluids in vertical wells
(2000)Non-Newtonian fluids are very common during drilling, fracture operations and enhanced oil recovery processes. When a reservoir contains a non-Newtonian fluid such as those injected during polymer flood or the production ... -
THE APPLICATION OF USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS (CFD) TO MODERN BUILDING DESIGN
(2017-05-12)In the last few years, constructing buildings that do not cause any bad destructive effects on the environment (green buildings) has become one of the priorities around the world, especially in the United States (USGBC ... -
APPLICATIONS OF MACHINE LEARNING METHODS IN THE GENERATION OF SUBSURFACE MEASUREMENTS
(2018-05-11)Machine learning methods have been used in the Oil and Gas industry for about thirty years. Applications range from interpretations of geophysical, well and seismic responses, identification of minerals, analysis of rock ... -
An Applied Evaluation of Ecosystem Services Decision-Support Tools
(2024-05-10)Nature's value as an asset is unmistakable, evident through the tangible benefits it provides, such as agricultural yields and tourist attractions. These services, known as ecosystem services (ES), are easy to appreciate ... -
Applied High-Order Singular Value Decomposition for Weight Compression and Expansion in Deep Neural Networks
(2019-08)Complex deep learning objectives such as object detection and saliency, semantic segmentation, sequence-to-sequence translation, and others have given rise to training processes requiring increasing amounts of time and ... -
Applying Dynamic Mode Decomposition to Interconnected Systems for Forecasting and System Identification
(2023-08-04)Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD) describes a family of dynamical systems analysis approaches that approximate complex, likely non-linear behaviors with a low-rank linear operator. DMD has traditionally been used in a ... -
Applying the Simplified Local Density Model to Study the Effects fo Confinement on Density in Shale Formation
(2016)The pores in shale gas reservoirs are represented on a nanometer scale. In addition to having smaller pore sizes than conventional reservoirs, shale gas reservoirs exhibit different mechanisms of gas storage, i.e. gas ...
