Importance of Capillary Heterogeneity in Developing a Representative Reservoir Model for Shales with Complex Fractures
(2016-12-16)
Our advancement in hydraulic fracturing has enabled us to produce shale formations economically. The formation stimulation is successful when the effective transport properties of the formation is improved significantly, ...
Analysis of MEG as Related to Spatial Transformation and Top-Down Control of Saccade Behavior
(2016-08)
Preparatory brain activity can provide insight into goal-oriented action and inhibitory processes related to both motor and cognition. In the current study participants performed an interleaved prosaccade (PS) and antisaccade ...
A Systematic approach to determine the optimal production rate to inhibit asphaltene deposition
(2016-08)
This thesis utilizes a systematic mathematical model, scaling analysis, to quantify the effect of production rate on asphaltene deposition, using a set of uniquely described mathematical equations modeled for the deposition ...
STRATIGRAPHIC AND TEXTURAL ANALYSIS OF NANODIAMONDS ACROSS THE YOUNGER DRYAS BOUNDARY SEDIMENTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA
(2016)
Exposed sediment profiles of the panhandle of western Oklahoma have
previously been shown to contain two peak abundances of nanodiamonds, one dated
approximately to the Younger Dryas and the other from the Late Holocene. ...
In the middle : mediators of faith-based transborder development in Oaxaca, Mexico
(2014)
In this thesis I ask how transborder migration from the Oaxacan Mixteca has connected Indigenous communities with faith-based sustainable development organizations in the U.S. I focus on Guadalupe Miramar Yucuhiti, a ...
DESIGN AND SYNTHESIS OF NEW CLPP ACTIVATORS: TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTATIONALLY GUIDED APPROACH
(2016-12)
With the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, there is an urgent need to develop antibacterials with new mechanisms of action. Because of its essential role in bacterial survival and the possibility to induce unselective ...
ON THE FATE OF THE FRACTURING FLUID AND ITS IMPACT ON LOAD RECOVERY AND WELL PERFORMANCE
(2016-08-01)
The complexity of the shale system coupled with the mystery of low fracturing fluid recovery has puzzled many researchers. Field reports from hydraulic fracturing operations performed on shale formations have highlighted ...
Using Young Adult Literature as the Cornerstone of Literacy: Pairing Young Adult Novels with the Classics
(2016-05-13)
English classes are still relying on novels taught consistently since the eighties if not earlier. Though our students have changed drastically since that time, our teaching methods and texts have not. And now, only 20% ...
Investigation of Antenna Edge Treatments and Ground Plane Coupling Behavior
(2016-12-16)
Guided wave structures can perform as broadband antenna elements through the use of a gradual impedance transformation. The impedance match is typically created through gradual structural changes to match the impedance of ...
