PERFORMANCE PREDICTION FOR DEEPWATER GULF OF MEXICO USING DATA MINING
(2016-08-05)The estimation of recovery factor is important in every stage of hydrocarbon development, and multiple traditional techniques are available for engineering application for particular fields. However, the estimated recovery ... -
Performance Seal Testing Through The Evaluation Of The Leak Rate Of The Mechanical Seal
(2024-05-10)Sealing technology is important across various industries, particularly within the oil and gas sector. This technology encompasses the capability to obstruct the unrestricted flow of undesirable substances into reservoirs. ... -
The Performer-Audience Connection: An Exploration of the Performative Power of Drag Queens in Oklahoma City
(2016-08)This thesis explores the potential for empowerment that drag performance has on the lives of drag performers and their audience members. I have attended over one hundred drag performances in Oklahoma City from January 2015 ... -
Performing Gender - Hell Hath No Fury Like a Woman Horned
(2021-05-14)Heavy metal has traditionally been a predominately masculine form of music and artistic expression. Many previous scholars have identified a lack of women in the genre to be one of the leading reasons for its misogynistic ... -
Petrographic analysis with deep convolutional neural networks
(2019-12)Petrographic analysis is based on the microscopic description and classification of rocks and is a crucial technique for sedimentary and diagenetic studies. When compared to hand specimens, thin sections of rocks provide ... -
Petrographic Quartzite Source Discrimination in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado: Implications for the Archaeological Study of Prehistoric Hunter-Gathers
(2016-05-14)Recently (Pitblado et al. 2008, 2013), an interdisciplinary team of archaeologists and geologists collaborated to develop a protocol for sourcing quartzite in the Upper Gunnison Basin, Colorado where archaeological assemblages ... -
Petrophysical Characterization of Shales Utilizing Laboratory and Field NMR
(2016-08)Over the years, service companies designed numerous tools for field NMR measurements. Amongst them are CMR-Plus with Schlumberger, MRIL-Prime with Halliburton and MREX with Baker Hughes. NMR logs found success in application ... -
Petrophysical Inversion of Multifrequency Resistivity and Permittivity Logs and Laboratory Measurements
(2017-12)In this thesis, we develop a unified inversion scheme that can be coupled to various type of relaxation models to process multi-frequency measurement of varied electromagnetic (EM) properties for purposes of improved ... -
Petrophysical rock typing in Uinta Basin using models powered by machine learning algorithms
(2023)Petrophysical characterization is key to identifying different rock types for hydrocarbon production optimization. Rock-typing, a petrophysical characterization technique, can be performed using wireline measurements, such ... -
Phenotypic, Chemotaxonomic and Genomic Characterization of a Novel Anaerobic Acetogen, Clostridium muelleri sp. nov. P21T Isolated from Old Hay
(2020-05)Acetogens are a group of obligately anaerobic bacteria that use the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for the production of acetyl-CoA from 2 moles of CO2. Acetyl-CoA is then converted to various acids and alcohols such ... -
Photogrammetric sand grainsize analysis of a circumnavigational sampling of beaches of the big island of Hawaii: possible insight into controlling processes and provenance
(2021)A circumnavigational photogrammetric sampling of the sands on the island of Hawai’I was done using the photogrammetry program pyDGS. The island of Hawai’i provides a perfect landscape to test the viability of pyDGS since ... -
Photothermal and immunological effects of immunologically modified graphene nanosystems for cancer treatment
(2022-08-04)Graphene oxide (GO) has been shown as a potential nanoadjuvant for biomedical applications. Particularly, the capability of GO in loading different therapeutic agents and in absorbing light of a broad wavelength range make ... -
Phylogenetic Relationships, Taxonomic Revision, and Conservation of Mountain Dragons of the Genus Japalura sensu lato from Asia
(2017)Mountain Dragons of the genus Japalura sensu lato (sensu lato means “in the broad sense”) are small-to-medium sized, insectivore lizards of the family Agamidae. Although similar to the Iguanaian lizards of the New World ... -
"Physicke for Body and Soule": Medicine and Religion in Early Modern England
(2021-05-14)The body and soul were intimately linked in early modern religious thought. This thesis examines one facet of this connection: the relationship between medicine and religion in published sermons, religious tracts, and ... -
Physiological Responses to a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise Between Men and Women
(2018-05-11)It has been shown that blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise provides similar physiological muscular adaptations to traditional high intensity resistance exercise; however, there is still ambiguity about whether males and ... -
Physiological Responses to a Single Bout of Resistance Exercise: Practical vs Controlled Blood Flow Restriction
(2018-05-11)Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise has been used to induce increases in muscle size and strength at relatively low exercise intensities. The technique requires the application of a restriction device to reduce blood ... -
Piano Concerto No. 1, "Concert of Sages"
(2018-12-14)Concert of Sages comes out of the duality of my being a composer and a pianist, and my desire to express this duality. As the orchestra is a prime test of a composers’ mettle, a concerto is a prime test of a concert ... -
Piezoresistive Sensing in Additively Manufactured Prosthetics
(2022-12)This paper attempts to determine whether hobbyist 3D printers can be used to advance prosthetic capabilities. We attempt to answer this by designing, printing, and testing a prosthetic hand using a hobbyist 3D printer ...
