A Comparative Convective Study Between the Ensemble Kalman Filter and the Local Particle Filter Using the Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation System
(2020-07-30)The localized particle filter (LPF) is a recent advance in ensemble data assimilation for numerical weather prediction. Derived from the original particle filter used for highly nonlinear state variables, the LPF incorporates ... -
Comparative evaluation of delamination in carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRPs) utilizing various common non-destructive inspection techniques
(2022-05)Non-destructive Inspection (NDI) is routinely used to diagnose and monitor defects in composite parts, which could impact composite lifespan and performance. There are a variety of methods to conduct NDT in composites, the ... -
Comparative Hydraulic and Cost Analyses of Single and Dual Water Distribution Systems Using Nonpotable Water for Urban Irrigation in Norman, Oklahoma
(2017-12)Drought has caused water resource shortages throughout Western and Midwestern United States for many years, particularly in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, and Oklahoma. This has led many communities to evaluate alternate ... -
COMPARATIVE SEM ANALYSIS OF QUARTZ MICROTEXTURES ON FLUVIAL SAND FROM END-MEMBER CLIMATE SYSTEMS
(2016-05-14)Microtextural analyses of sedimentary quartz grains are increasingly used as a paleoenvironmental proxy, as particular microtextures have been proposed to reflect processes unique to particular environmental or climatic ... -
Comparative Study of Pore Structure Characterization for Different Rock Samples Using Digital Images
(2019-12)Due to the scarcity in supply of energy and slumping production from conventional reservoirs, exportation from unconventional tight shale reservoirs has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years. However, ... -
Comparative study of proprietary and non-proprietary ultra-high performance concrete as partial-depth joint replacement
(2020)Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a special type of concrete that has unique properties that are desirable for various types of construction projects. The most common form of UHPC used in the field is a proprietary ... -
Comparative Study of Surface Preparation And Bond Angle Combinations For Bridge Repair Using Ultra-High Performance Concrete Alternative
(2018-12)Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is a type of concrete with advanced mechanical properties compared to normal strength concrete and that can be used for connections and repairs in bridges. Most UHPC used in the field ... -
A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS OF BANGLADESH AND FINLAND
(2017-05-04)This thesis compares the educational system of Bangladesh, a democratic South Asian country, with the educational system of Finland, a Scandinavian country that scores high in international comparisons on tests, such as ... -
Comparing ambient-noise-based seismic velocity variations with dynamic and static strain changes associated with major earthquake rupture at Parkfield
(2023-06-22)Stress perturbations across a fault zone can change seismic wave velocity in the adjacent area, with implications for rock properties and fault mechanics. Ambient noise seismic interferometry is increasingly used to retrieve ... -
Comparison of Bone, Muscle, and Fat Characteristics Between Combined Oral Contraceptive Users and Non-Users
(2019-08-01)Combined oral contraceptives (COC) are widely used as a form of birth control or to reduce negative symptoms associated with menstruation. However, many women discontinue use or fail to initiate use of COC because of the ... -
A Comparison Of Coherence Enhancement, Probabilistic Neural Network, And Convolutional Neural Network Fault Imaging With Manual Interpretation In The Taranaki Basin Area, New Zealand.
(2021-05-17)Fault identification is a key aspect in seismic interpretation, and model generation is an essential task to achieve any accurate, precise reservoir modeling or structural framework that solves problems in the subsurface. ... -
Comparison of Discrete Part Verification Using Coordinate Measuring Machine and Articulated Arm Coordinate Measuring Machine
(2019-12-13)Quality assurance is key in manufacturing and assembling processes and is usually implemented by specifying and controlling tolerances and surface finish of important features, in discrete product manufacturing industry. ... -
COMPARISON OF FIVE DIFFERENT DNA EXTRACTION METHODS FOR MICROBIOME RECONSTRUCTION FROM COPROLITES
(2017-05)The human microbiome has become an intense area of research over the past fifteen years due to its importance for understanding human health and disease. The revolution in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques has ... -
