Microseismic mapping of fluid induced hydraulic fractures and analysis of location uncertainties
(2011)Microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fractures is done to yield spatial and temporal plots of hypocenters. There are rendered without any estimates of uncertainty leading the engineer to believe the hypocenter locations ... -
Microseismic mapping of hydraulic fractures
(2009)Since the advent of hydraulic fracturing as a proven technique for reservoir stimulation, efforts have been made, using empirical and analytical tools. To understand hydraulic fracturing. These efforts have not been entirely ... -
Microstructural study of mucin: influence of pH, temperature, concentration and nanoparticles
(2020-12-18)The aim of this research is to examine the nano- and micro-structure of mucin in response to chemicophysical changes within the aqueous solution. By characterizing the mucin structure across a range of length scales ... -

(2019-05)Mississippian Meramec reservoirs of the STACK (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko [Basin] in Canadian and Kingfisher counties) play are comprised of silty limestones, calcareous siltstones, argillaceous-calcareous siltstones, ... -
Mitigating the Propensity to Victim-Blame via Parasocial Contact with Survivors of Sexual Assault
(2019-05)This study attempts to integrate the predictions of defensive attribution theory (DAT; Shaver, 1970) and the parasocial contact hypothesis (PCH; Schiappa, Allen, & Gregg, 2005) to formulate a method for minimizing the ... -
Mitigation of Blast-Induced Hearing Damage Associated with Mild-TBI Chinchillas using Liraglutide
(2022-05-13)Even with the use of hearing protection devices (HPDs), hearing damage caused by blast exposure dominates service-related disabilities faced by active service members and Veterans. Epidemiology studies have revealed that ... -
Mode-Reconfigurable Bandpass Filters with Liquid Metal Enablement
(2017-08)The RF spectrum grows increasingly crowded every year due to technological advancement and more accessibility to wireless devices. Overcrowding leads to the desire for frequency agile microwave systems with dynamic spectrum ... -
Model for Mitigating Economic and Social Disaster Damage Through Structural Reinforcement
(2017-05)Natural disasters have both severe negative short-term consequences on community structures, inhabitants, and long-term impacts on economic growth. In response to the rising costs and magnitude of such disasters to ... -
Modeling Adsorption in Shale
(2016-12-16)The existing conventional methods to characterize reservoir storage properties face challenges in shale formations due to their fine grained texture, low porosity, and low permeability. An integrated analysis of standard ... -
Modeling and Designing a Vertical Isolation System Using a Laterally Loaded Arch as a Negative Stiffness Element
(2022-05)Structures, artwork, and expensive equipment are often susceptible to significant damage from vertical dynamic motion such as that generated by earthquakes. Several systems exist which seek to mitigate damage caused from ... -
