GEOMECHANICAL RESERVOIR CHARACTERIAZATION AND APPLICATIONS
(2017-05-12)The Mechanical Earth Model (MEM) is gaining attention in the oil and gas industry recently since utilizing horizontal well and multistage fracturing technologies requires understanding of the reservoir geomechanical ... -
Geomechanics of Unconventional Reservoirs: Hydraulic Fracturing and Nanoindentation
(2021-12)Geomechanics is the study of the mechanical response of geologic formations subjected to injection, production, and storage of fluids in the subsurface. It plays a role in understanding formation integrity and the response ... -
A Geometry Modeling and Optimization Pipeline for the Atrioventricular Heart Valves
(2023-05-12)This research aims to develop a pipeline for modeling the tricuspid heart valve that can be used as an adaptable tool for furthering research in the field, including treatment options for heart valve disease such as ... -
Geophysical assessment on how near surface sediments impact seismic groundmotion due to induced seismicity
(2024-05)In Union City, Oklahoma, hydraulic fracturing and wastewater injection are a root cause of increased induced seismicity that is felt by nearby homeowners who report damage to the Oklahoma geological survey (OGS). To ... -
Germany's Refugee Policy Making Crisis: How the Clash of Normative Systems Affected the Decision Making Process
(2017)Although Germany has had a long history of restrictive and uncoordinated immigration and integration policies, the country seemed to experience a paradigm shift during the refugee crisis in 2014/15. In the light of ... -
Giant grains in the Akiyoshi Limestone: A record of atmospheric circulation over the Panthalassic Ocean
(2021)Models indicate that atmospheric transport distances for large windblown particles are limited to tens to perhaps hundreds of km owing to rapid gravitational settling, yet a number of studies of modern–recent sediment have ... -
The girl with the agate eyes: the life and times of Mattie Howard
(2022)This thesis studies the life of Martha Alice “Mattie” Howard, a forgotten figure in both the early 20th-century criminal underworld and the evangelical circuit of 1930s and 1940s America. Straddling the line between social ... -
Global Analysis of Characteristics of Tropical Easterly Waves and Related Precipitation
(2021-12-17)Tropical easterly waves (TEWs) are important components of tropical convection and precipitation, especially in summer months. The most well-documented TEWs are African easterly waves (AEWs), which have been linked with ... -
Global Development Through International Labor Mobility
(2016-05)International labor mobility is currently heavily restricted by tight immigration controls around the world, and most people who want to migrate in search of employment and higher wages are either unable to or must do so ... -
Global Indigenous Diaspora: An International Comparison of Nation-Based Recognition, Tribal Membership, and Aboriginal Rights
(2017-12-15)Nation-states often tell their Native populations who can and cannot be considered Indigenous. Two important tools of sovereignty are now, and have been for some time, Federal Recognition and Tribal Membership. Federal ... -
Global Large-Scale Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange in Modern Reanalyses
(2016-08-12)Stratosphere-troposphere exchange (STE) has important and signi cant impacts on the chemical and radiative properties of the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. This study presents a 15-year climatology of global ... -
Global Reconnaissance of Reef Spur and Groove Variability: A Systematic Geomorphic Classification.
(2021-05-16)Spur and Groove (SaG) formations are found on the fore reef of many coral reef systems around the world. SaG features are constructed of coral buildups called “spurs”, and separated by erosive channelized features, or ... -
Glory and Empire: The London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews and the Road to the Balfour Declaration
(2016-05)The Balfour Declaration has often been seen as the culmination of the restorationist tradition and Christian Zionism in Britain. The London Society for Promoting Christianity amongst the Jews was an Evangelical mission ... -
GLYCOPEPTIDE DETECTION, SELECTION, AND CHARACERIZATION THROUGH A LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY-DIFFERENTIAL ION MOBILITY PLATFORM
(2018-04-26)The cellular functions necessary to sustain life are, in large part, mediated by the collection of translated proteins unique to each organism, referred to as the proteome. Due to the broad and ever-growing number of ... -
Goal analysis training: Contextual influences on leadership performance
