Microseismic mapping of fluid induced hydraulic fractures and analysis of location uncertainties
(2011)
Microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fractures is done to yield spatial and temporal plots of hypocenters. There are rendered without any estimates of uncertainty leading the engineer to believe the hypocenter locations ...
Understanding and Predicting Nocturnal Convection Initiation using an Ensemble-based Multi-scale Data Assimilation System
(2016-08-12)
A nocturnal maximum in precipitation exists over the Great Plains during the summer. The initiation of nocturnal storms is notoriously difficult to forecast in numerical models due to the storms often involving interactions ...
THE KEROGEN 3D SOLID STATE STRUCTURE MODELING AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
(2016-12-16)
A 3D solid state Green River Oil Shale kerogen model was built in this thesis through the following two steps: 1. a molecular nanocluster model of kerogen composed of seven molecules was built based on an adsorption method; ...
Nanoindentation studies on shales
(2013)
Shale resources promise a new era for energy independence of United States. The promise is intrinsically tied to our ability to economically hydraulic fracture the shale. These extremely tight formations are impossible to ...
Adsorptive Trapping of Bio-oil Compounds onto Activated Carbon
(2016-08)
Industrialization and its long-term effects on the environment are receiving increased scrutiny from both political and environmental pundits questioning environmental sustainability in a time of globalization. Traditional ...
A Pixel-Based Focus+Context Technique for Visualizing Variation in Classical Text
(2016-05)
Before the advent of printed texts, text duplication was primarily done by hand copying. As a result, numerous versions of the same text with errors, alterations, and erasures were often created. Classics scholars synthesize ...
BIG DATA ANALYTICS IN TRANSPORTATION NETWORKS USING THE NPMRDS
(2016-05-06)
Urban traffic congestion is common and the cause for loss of productivity (due to trip delays) and higher risk to passenger safety (due to increased time in the automobile), not to mention an increase in fuel consumption, ...
Brain plasticity and the helping professions
(2012)
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to more understanding of brain plasticity and its application in human relations. The paper includes a literature review which explains the background and the roots of the subject ...
A Martial Environment: The Rocky Mountain Arsenal and Ecological Change, 1942-2010
(2016)
This thesis examines the military-industrial complex and ecological change in the American West during and after the Cold War. By specifically examining one munitions factory—the Rocky Mountain Arsenal—this thesis demonstrates ...
Sequence stratigraphic framework of the Caney Shale, Arkoma Basin southeastern Oklahoma
(2011)
Many petroleum companies have turned their attention to the exploration and development of shale as unconventional resource plays. The focus of this study was the Caney Shale, which occurs in the Oklahoma part of the Arkoma ...
