Methods for determination of the conicity tolerance
(1997)
This thesis attempts, for the first time, to develop comprehensive equations for determination of the conicity tolerance. No such attempts are evident in the current literature in conicity analysis. This thesis develops ...
The effects of confining pressure on the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms for the Oil Creek Sandstone in laboratory tests
(1992)
Laboratory rock testing procedures are used to study the effect of confining pressure on the mechanical behavior and deformation mechanisms for the Oil Creek Sandstone: a lightly cemented (quartz), high porosity (~35%) ...
Investigation of flow reversal in a vertical channel with a cyclic heater
(1999)
A numerical study of airflow in a vertical channel between parallel plates with a channel heater has been conducted. The numerical model parallels a typical home fireplace. The primary objective of the study is to verify ...
The form and function of subterranean food storage structures: an ethnoarcheological study of the social and environmental determinants of pit storage
(1990)
This study identifies the principal factors affecting the selection and use of food storage pits through a cross-cultural examination of a worldwide sample of pit using societies. Three reasons why subterranean facilities ...
In situ stresses and hydraulic fracturing in Hassi Messaoud Reservoir, Algeria
(1999)
Understanding the rock mechanics aspects of Hassi Messaoud (HMD) reservoir is extremely important not only for hydraulic fracturing purposes but also for planning horizontal well drilling and completion. Analysis of the ...
The community in the philosophy of William James
(1999)
There are those who have stated that James' social philosophy is of little import, and that the reader of James is, therefore, hard-pressed to find any notion of community therein. My primary purpose in this work is to ...
Spectral Analysis of Seismic Data Using Wavelet Transform
(1999)
Spectral analysis provides the frequency information of the data. Fourier tansform projects the data from time domain into frequency domain, while the time information is completely lost after the procedure. Time-frequency ...
