Effect of Alignment on Thermal Conductivity Enhancement of Polyethylene/Graphene Nanoplatelet Composite Materials
(2017-05)
Polymers offer several advantages such as low cost, light weight, corrosion resistance and ease of processing, however, they have much lower intrinsic thermal conductivity (<0.5 W/mK) compared to metals (> 20 W/mK) which ...
Study of Matrices Related to Discrete Logarithm in Kummer Extensions
(2016)
The discrete logarithm problem has been studied during the past decades for its important application in cryptography and other fields. It is very useful in the public key cryptography, which is widely used for Internet ...
Adsorption Characteristics of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on Zwitterionic Functionalized Alumina: A Molecular Dynamics Study
(2017-05)
A classical molecular dynamics simulation was conducted in order to determine the extent of surfactant adsorption on zwitterionic functionalized Al2O3. Sodium dodecyl sulfate was used as a model anionic surfactant, and ...
Comanche Food Attitudes
(2019-05-10)
Food has always been important to societies and cultures from everyday life and over generations. Yet, very few societies still eat the same way that they did 500 years ago. Today, indigenous people are challenged by settler ...
American Indian Access to Health Care Services in Oklahoma Post Affordable Care Act
(2016-12)
The American Indian health system is difficult to navigate. American Indians have historically had a high rate of being in poverty, being uninsured, and poor access to care. Oklahomans overall also have a high uninsured ...
Scale Up Reactive Flow in Heterogeneous Porous Media Using Continuous Time Random Walk Approach
(2017-08)
Reservoir heterogeneities strongly affect the fluid flow in porous media. The behavior of transport and reaction of fluid varies at different scales, leading to the discrepancies between laboratory experiments and field ...
Investigations of the Tricuspid Heart Valve Function: An Integrated Computational-Experimental Approach
(2019-05-10)
The objective of this research is to employ both in silico modeling and in vitro experimental characterization methods to enhance the understanding of the biomechanical function of the tricuspid heart valve.
A finite ...
Microseismic Location Using Differential Backazimuth Angles
(2016-05)
The most common procedure for locating borehole microseismic events is solution of a minimization problem based on observed travel time differences compared to calculated travel time differences derived from a given velocity ...
Linear Post Linear Flow Production Analysis
(2017-05-12)
This study was motivated by the production data observed from multi-fractured horizontal wells in the field that have two infinite acting flow regimes. These two infinite acting flow regimes appear as two straight lines ...
INVESTIGATION OF BIOACTIVITIES AND INDUCTION OF NEW METABOLITES IN FUNGI
(2016-12)
In these studies, three different problems are looked at: the need for new compounds to treat infections caused by the Trichomonas vaginalis parasite, the development of methodology to induce production of new metabolites, ...
