DE CABALLEROS Y CAUDILLOS A PÍCAROS Y NARCOTRAFICANTES: UN ESTUDIO COMPARATIVO ENTRE LAS JÁCARAS DEL SIGLO DE ORO Y LOS NARCOCORRIDOS MEXICANOS DE LOS SIGLOS XX Y XXI
(2018-05-11)Los narcocorridos y las jácaras son dos géneros de la tradición oral hispana que han surgido dentro del mundo del hampa de su respectiva época. Ambos géneros comparten una gran cantidad de similitudes tanto del espacio ... -
CALCULATION OF ESTIMATED OIL RECOVERY USING CARTER TYPE CURVES
(2017-05-12)The focus of this research is to calculate the Estimated Ultimate Recovery (EUR) of shale wells for a diverse range of fluid types using Carter (1985) type curves. The Carter (1985) type curve is a plot of flow rate versus ... -
Calibrating seismic fracture prediction using borehole image logs, application to the Mississippian Limestone
(2016-05)The Mississippian Limestone of North Oklahoma and Southern Kansas has been one of the more active Midcontinent resource plays of the past decade, with over 4,300 horizontal wells drilled and completed between 2010 and 2015 ... -
Calibration and Clutter Cancellation Techniques for Accurate Wideband Radar Cross Section Measurements
(2021-05-14)The expected received power is a key design parameter when designing a radar system. The radar’s receiver must be sensitive enough to detect the object of interest without being saturated by the highest received power. The ... -
Calibration of a Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence Device to Detect Chemical Stabilizers in Soil Subgrades
(2018-12)Chemically stabilized subgrades increase the overall quality of pavements compared to non-treated subgrades. Currently, there is no efficient way to detect chemical stabilizers (CS) in pavement subgrades. Generally, only ... -
CAMBRIAN (JIANGSHANIAN; SUNWAPTAN) TRILOBITES FROM THE UPPER HONEY CREEK FORMATION, WICHITA MOUNTAINS REGION, OKLAHOMA
(2019-08)The Upper Cambrian (Jiangshanian; Sunwaptan) Honey Creek Formation of Oklahoma is a succession of sandy limstone and minor sandstone that was deposited under shallow subtidal conditions in an achipelago of rhyolite islands. ... -
Cambrian trilobites from the Steptoean–Sunwaptan boundary interval (Jiangshanian), Nevada and Utah
(2020-12)This thesis documents previously unknown latest Steptoean (Elvinia Zone) trilobite faunas from Nevada and Utah, including their geological context. Samples from Nevada are from the Barton Canyon Member of the Windfall ... -
Canids and Humans in Oklahoma: How Rabies Shaped the Interactions Between Humans, Dogs, and Coyotes in Oklahoma between 1870 and 1920
(2021-08)Focusing on the period between 1870 and 1920 in Oklahoma, this thesis examines the ways in which rabies and hydrophobia shaped the interactions between humans, dogs, and coyotes, primarily by examining the ways in which ... -
CARBON NANOTUBES AND MAGNETIC PARTICLES AS PICKERING EMULSION STABILIZERS: PARTICLE CONTROL FOR PHASE SELECTIVE REACTIONS
(2016-05-13)Interest in the use of two phase reaction systems for the production of biofuels and specialty chemicals from biomass has been increasing over the past several years, specifically in circumstances in which the feedstock ... -
Carbon-Based Pollutant Analysis and Remote Sensor Validation Using Column-Observing Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectrometers During the TRACER Campaign
(2023-08-04)Greenhouse gases methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2), along with carbon monoxide (CO), while produced by both anthropogenic and natural sources, all contribute to atmospheric warming. Additionally, CO poses health risks ... -
CARBOXYLIC ACID KETONIZATION ON ZEOLITES
(2016-05)Carboxylic acids contained in crude oil and bio oil present significant corrosion and handling problems. It is necessary that the acid content is reduced in the bio-oil for upgrading. One potential method is to convert ... -
Caregiver-infant/toddler interactions during diapering: associations with well-being and involvement
Diaper changes, as an aspect of care for implementing quality caregiver-child interactions in infant and toddler non-parental care settings is examined. First, this study proposes a theory of care that specifically addresses ... -
Caricatures of cartography: geographic imaginaries in the political cartoons of Emad Hajjaj
(2021)This thesis examines the political cartoons of Palestinian-Jordanian cartoonist Emad Hajjaj as a site for new Arab imaginative geographies. With the mapping of the Arab world an artifact of imperialism, the ability to ... -
Cascading Effects of Nudging and Education on Common Goods: An Experimental Comparison of Potable Water Recycling Interventions
(2021-08)Despite calls for research comparing different forms of choice architecture interventions, little empirical work has directly made those comparisons. Here, I evaluate two strategies on whether they increase acceptance of ... -
Case studies in causal inference and anomaly detection
(2020-12-18)The study of parent-child well interactions in unconventional shales has generated high interest both in the industry and academia over the last decade. This is largely because of the growing number of child wells and their ... -
Case Study: Integrated Core Modeling and Simulation of Unconventional Hydraulically Fractured Wells in the Delaware Basin
(2020-07-30)The Early Paleozoic Wolfcamp formation is one of the main unconventional reservoirs in the Delaware Basin, and highly targeted by U.S. companies. Innovative completion techniques and representative core analysis have ... -
CATALYTIC CONVERSION OF FURFURAL TO MORE UPGRADABLE PRODUCTS OVER BIFUNCTIONAL CATALYST
(2017)Furanics are produced in high abundance from the decomposition of biomass. The thermal and chemical instability of these species leads to the formation of humins upon condensation. The ring rearrangement of furfural via ... -
Catalytic dehydration of poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) with heterogeneous acid catalysts
(2023)This study investigates the role of acid site density, pore size, and solvent selection in the catalytic dehydration of Poly (vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (EVOH) using zeolite catalysts. The first set of experiments ... -
