Insights on the translocation of a critically endangered crocodylian: Diet and body condition of headstart and wild Philippine crocodiles (Crocodylus mindorensis)
(2019)Studies of diet are fundamental to understanding a species’ ecology, and in relation to conservation translocations, dietary studies of headstart populations are particularly rare and valuable. These studies can yield ... -
Integrated 3D Printing of Robotic Structures and Circuits
(2016-12)Advances in upper limb prostheses have lowered the cost of prosthetic limbs, enabling access for a larger population of amputees. Other advancements, such as robotic prosthetics, enable amputees to more easily grasp ... -
AN INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY, PETROLEUM GEOCHEMISTRY, AND DEVONIAN MASS EXTINCTION EVENTS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE, SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017-12-16)Geochemical analyses of the Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford Shale have revealed a more dynamic history than previously considered, reflecting discrete changes in the conditions surrounding its depositional ... -
Integrated characterization of the Woodford Shale in the southern Cherokee Platform, Oklahoma
The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian, organic-rich Woodford Shale is considered as one of the most important unconventional resources for oil and gas in the United States of America. This formation was targeted for gas ... -
Integrated Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Sycamore Formation in the Southern Flank of the Arbuckle Anticline, Southern Oklahoma
(2021-05-16)This study aimed to evaluate the paragenesis of the Mississippian Sycamore Formation in the southern Flank of the Arbuckle Anticline in order to document the extent of diagenetic alteration in outcrop, assess the factors ... -
Integrated Geochemistry and Sedimentology of the Wolfcamp B3 and B2 Intervals, Midland Basin, TX
(2019)The Permian-aged, hydrocarbon-rich, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic mudrocks of Midland Basin Wolfcamp B2 and B3 are highly heterogeneous, making paleoenvironmental reconstruction difficult. The high-frequency lithologic and ... -
INTEGRATED GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION AT THE BED SCALE OF THE WOODFORD SHALE AT THE I-35 OUTCROP, SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017)A road-cut exposure located on the southern flank of the Arbuckle anticline along the Interstate-35 provided the opportunity to document in detail the lithological heterogeneities of the uppermost 81 feet of the Woodford ... -
Integrated geomechanics and geological characterization of the Devonian-Mississippian Woodford Shale
(2011)In this thesis, preserved Woodford Shale samples of different mineralogy compositions were obtained from a shallow research well in Oklahoma and prepared for various laboratory mechanical characterizations including the ... -
An Integrated LiDAR-XRF Study and Geomechanical Lithofacies Analysis of the Leonardian Upper Bone Spring Formation, Bone Canyon, Texas
(2019-05)The purpose of this study is to constrain geomechanical parameters effecting hydraulic stimulation networks within the upper Bone Spring formation, through the collection and examination of outcrop data. Data utilized in ... -
INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC FRACTURED WELLS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE
(2019-08-01)The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford shale is known as the main source rock in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most attractive unconventional plays in the U.S. Early Woodford’s exploration and development ... -
