Development of an Empirical Propeller Thrust Model Using Experimental Measurements and Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2020-05)Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an ever-increasing role in naval operations. In order for these UAVs to safely operate autonomously in a wide range of conditions, robust control systems must be ... -
Development of an expert system for selection of drilling fluids and solids control equipment
(1998)Proper drilling fluids and a good solids control program, hold the keys to a successful drilling operation. In most of the cases the spudding of a well can be done using native water or very lightly treated bentonite muds. ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF CHOLESTEATOMA MODEL, SURGICAL TREATMENT, AND CRITERIA FOR DISEASE SEVERITY
(2018-05)Chapter 1: Cholesteatoma is a middle ear disease characterized by a cystic lesion that grows from the tympanic membrane. There are several theories as to the cause of the disease, though the most prominent cause is ... -
Development of Deep Learning Methodologies for Modeling Navigational Features in Continuous Spaces
(2021-12)This thesis proposes generalized methodologies to model navigational features of continuous spaces using deep learning architectural approaches. Navigational features impact how an entity can effectively travel within a ... -
Development of Envelope Evaluation Benchmarks Using EnergyPlus and Data-Driven Thermal Model
(2022-12)Residential buildings account for a large portion of the consumption of the global energy and total energy by end use. To mitigate the rising trend of energy consumption, residential buildings show a huge potential by ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF INDEPENDENT COMPONENT ANALYSIS FOR RESERVOIR GEOMORPHOLOGY AND UNSUPERVISED SEISMIC FACIES CLASSIFICATION IN THE TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND.
(2018)During the past two decades, the number of volumetric seismic attributes have increased to the point in which interpreters are overwhelmed and cannot analyze all the information available. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) ... -
Development of Nanoparticle Membrane Enhanced Nanocomposites with Sensing Function
(2016-12-16)Damage and load sensing is rapidly advancing as driven by vast applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. However, most previous research focused on the improvement of material properties for sensing applications. ... -
Development of Non-Proprietary Ultra-High-Performance Concrete Mix Designs
(2017-12)Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) is defined by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as having a compressive strength of 21.7 ksi (kilo-pounds per square inch), a post-cracking tensile strength 0.72 ksi, and high ... -
DEVELOPMENT OF UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS: FLUID CHARACTERIZATION, STIMULATED RESERVOIR VOLUME DETERMINATION, AND PRODUCTION FORECASTING IN THE STACK
(2018-05)The Mississippian-age Meramec Series is one of the primary producing intervals of the Sooner Trend in the Anadarko Basin of Canadian and Kingfisher (STACK) counties, Oklahoma and is currently among the most sought-after ... -
A DFT STUDY OF THE CATALYTIC HYDRODEOXYGENATION OF ANISOLE ON A RHODIUM CATALYST
(2018-05)Heterogeneous catalysis is an integral part of chemical industry. Additionally, the surge in biomass research has necessitated a need for newer and effective catalysts to upgrade biomass and its constituents: - lignin, ... -
DFT-Derived Location and Hydroxide Coordination of Lanthanum Ions in Zeolite Y Structures
(2021-08-05)Fluid Catalytic Cracking is a process of great interest in oil refining. This process is governed by the stability and activity of acid sites held within zeolite frameworks. Rare earth exchanged, specifically lanthanum ... -
A Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Woodford Shale, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
(2017)Two Woodford Shale cores from the Anadarko Basin (Core A, Core C) and one oriented Woodford Shale core from the Ardmore Basin near the Ouachita thrust zone (Core B) were sampled in order to identify diagenetic events, ... -
A Diagenetic Study of the Wolfcamp Shale in the Midland Basin, West Texas
(2016-05-14)The lower Permian Wolfcamp Shale is a major unconventional resource play in the Permian Basin. Near the eastern margin of the Midland Basin the Wolfcamp Shale is comprised of calcareous and siliceous mudstones interbedded ... -
DIAMOND AND PARYLENE COMPOSITE BONDING: A POWERFUL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC THIN FILM DEVICE FABRICATION
(2016-05-13)A new and powerful method for electronic device fabrication is presented. A diamond and parylene composite thin film layer bonding process is described. Two sizes of diamond particles, nominally 0~0.5µm and 0~2µm were used ... -
Diego Rivera as a Jewish Root-Seeker: Art, Identity Politics, and the "Downtrodden Masses"
(2022-05-14)The Mexican muralist Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was Jewish in his imagination only. During the 1930s, the artist invented a noble Sephardi lineage dating back to the seventeenth-century philosopher, Uriel Acosta (1585-1640). ... -
Differences in predicted external training load values across an NCAA Division I men’s basketball season
(2023-08-04)Tracking and monitoring of external load is an important consideration for sport performance practitioners. Despite its relative importance, there is very little research surrounding the external load demands of NCAA ... -
Differential Effects of Informing and Framing on Beneficence in Do-Not-Resuscitate Order (DNR)
(2023-08-04)Empirical comparisons based on ethical standards have been neglected in end-of-life decision making research. I have compared two persuasion techniques (i.e., informing and framing) on whether they protect or promote ... -
