EFFECT OF MULTI-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBES LENGTH, DENSITY, POWDER SIZE AND PRE-TREATMENT METHOD ON ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF POLYCARBONATE/MWCNT COMPOSITES
(2016-05-13)
The combine effect of nanotube pre-treatment method (freeze drying (FD) vs. oven drying (OD) ), density, powder size and length of fourteen multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the dispersion and further on the ...
ESTABLISHMENT OF A RARE RIPARIAN TREE, ALNUS MARITIMA
(2016-12-16)
Alnus maritima is a rare, riparian tree species showing no recruitment from seeds. We conducted studies to identify factors potentially limiting establishment. First, we surveyed current known populations to determine ...
SULFIDE STRESS CRACKING BEHAVIOR OF GRADE C-110, Q-125 AND T-95 STEEL TUBULARS UNDER HIGH-PRESSURE CONDITIONS
(2016-12-16)
Due to the expansion of hydrocarbon exploration into challenging sour oil and gas resources, the industry is now facing severe sour related corrosion problem. Sulfide Stress Cracking (SSC) is one of the detrimental types ...
Singing Redface: The Misappropriation of American Indian Culture in Popular Music
(2016-12)
This project examines the role of cultural appropriation in the creation of Native American stereotypes that are present in Western popular music in post-colonial America through the completion of an in-progress book. ...
INTERRELATING PRODUCTION ANALYSIS WITH PORE SCALE STRUCTURE IN THE BAKKEN RESERVOIR
(2016)
Improving well performance and associated project economics in oil resource plays rely on developing reservoir characterization capabilities. The need for understanding pore-scale geometry in low porosity low permeability ...
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF QUANTUM COMPRESSIVE IMAGING IN LOW PHOTON REGIME BY CONSIDERING PHOTON STATISTICS
(2016-06-22)
Compressive Imaging has been an extensively researched area inoptical imaging, object tracking,satellite applications,etc. There are many signalrecovery methods and comparative analyses of different algorithms ...
CORRELATING RATE OF PENETRATION AND BIT TRIPS TO 3D SURFACE SEISMIC DATA, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2016)
While initially thought to be laterally homogeneous, operators quickly realized that unconventional resource plays can exhibit considerable geologic heterogeneity. Since this realization, 3D surface seismic analysis has ...
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE RHEOLOGY AND STABILITY BEHAVIOUR OF SURFACTANT STABILIZED WATER-IN-OIL EMULSION
(2016-12-16)
Formation water almost always comes out with crude oil production. Under extreme mixing and high turbulence provided by pumps, valves, chokes and pipelines in the production system, water and oil can mix to form highly ...
FRACTURING OPTIMIZATION BASED ON DYNAMIC CONDUCTIVITY
(2016)
This thesis presents a systematic approach to evaluate and optimize production performance of fractured wells in tight oil formations. Underperformed hydraulically fractured wells have been widely reported; poor design is ...
METAPHORS WE BOMB BY: THE VALUES AND MEANINGS BEHIND SUPPORTING DRONES IN BOMBING ATTACKS
(2016-05-13)
This study theoretically examines the metaphors and values associated with exceptional patriotism and Christians in order to examine the support of military drones in bombing attacks against terrorism. Utilizing George ...
