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 ... -
Modeling and Evaluation of Constituents of Emerging Concern Through Wastewater Treatment Processes
(2016-05-13)Constituents of emerging concern (CECs) have accumulated in drinking water source supply over the past decades. Although there are currently no established treatment standards, CECs should be of concern to the public and ... -
Modeling and Measurement of Sound Transmission in the Baboon Ear
(2017-05)While many animal models exist for middle ear research, the progression of knowledge is hindered by the impossibility of in vivo investigation in cadavers and the great physiological differences of the distantly related ... -
Modeling Broad Absorption Line Quasars with Spectral Synthesis: Program Development and Analysis
(2018-05-11)Quasars with broad absorption lines (BALQSOs) are often the target of outflow studies because these features are clear markers of energetic winds. Within this population is a class known as FeLoBALs, named for the FeII ... -
Modeling CCN Effects on Electrification within High and Low Precipitation Supercells
(2021-08)Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) are known to affect both the electrical and the dynamic evolution of storms, but the effects on storm electrification in different storm modes have not been thoroughly examined. We will ... -
Modeling ecological impacts and role of urbanization on invasion success of brown widows (Latrodectus geometricus) in North America
(2021-12-17)The Anthropocene is characterized by human influence on the environment, including aiding movement of non-native species to new regions. The impacts of invasive species on native communities are complex, especially for ... -
Modeling futurity: examining epistemological assumptions and political context in urbanization modeling
(2022)Computer simulation models projecting urban expansion are useful for academics, planners, and stakeholders interested in land use patterns and their future implications. Although urban simulation models are being expanded ... -
Modeling Microemulsion Phase Behavior With Consideration of Phase Partitioning of Co-Solvent
(2017-05-12)Co-solvents are widely used to improve chemical flooding formulations design, but partitioning of co-solvent within phases has great impacts on microemulsion phase behavior. Microemulsion phase behavior plays a key role ... -
Modeling Multicomponent Gas Flow in Liquids Rich Shales
(2016-05)Production data acquired from liquids-rich shale reservoirs show a few very interesting trends: 1. A relatively constant gas-oil ratio (GOR) or condensate-gas ratio (CGR) although flowing bottomhole pressures may be below ... -
Modeling of non-equilibrium effects in particulate flow through porous media
(2018)The complex dynamics of fluid and particles flowing through pore space demands some relaxation time for particles to catch up with fluid velocity which manifest themselves as non-equilibrium (NE) effect. Previous studies ... -
Modeling Oscillatory Flow in a Cone-and-Plate Device Using Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2019-05-11)Calcific aortic heart valve disease has been investigated in literature over the past three decades. Researches have been trying to understand the mechanism by which the calcification occurs on the aortic valve leaflets. ... -
Modeling the distribution of native and invasive species of bumble bees (Hymenoptera: apidae) in Chile, using citizen science data
(2021)There are around 260 species of bumble bees (Bombus) globally, many of them providing important pollination services. In fact, some species are bred and sold commercially to assure the successful pollination of crops. ... -
Modeling the Effects of Disinformation Spread on Multi-Commodity Networks
(2022-05)Disinformation has become a more common weapon amidst growing social media platforms and users, targeting consumer behavior to affect physical infrastructure. Understanding how disinformation could attack a multi-commodity ... -
Modelling, Additive Manufacturing, and Testing of Knitted Materials
(2024-05-10)Knitting is a centuries-old textile fabrication technique utilizing a method of “interlooping,” where loops are pulled through each other until the final product is created. Certain patterns curl in on themselves, which ... -
“The modern frontier”: Oklahoma settler memory in the mid-twentieth century
(2023-05-12)In 2020, the Oklahoma City Convention and Visitors Bureau launched the “Modern Frontier” campaign to attract tourists, residents, and businesses to Oklahoma City. Surveying the history of what became the state of Oklahoma ... -
Modi’in and America: On the Power of Folklore & Place. The Saga of Garin Harmerkaz
(2022-12-16)Modiin is the site of both an ancient Jewish community and the modern nation’s ‘city of the future.’ This dichotomy is at the heart of a public battle between preservationists trying to raise awareness of the area’s rich ... -
