SCALE FORMATION IN POROUS MEDIA AND ITS IMPACT ON OIL RECOVERY
(2016-08-08)
The objectives of this study include: (1) investigation of the chemical and thermodynamic mechanisms of scale formation in porous media and its impact on formation damage; (2) development of a model to predict permeability ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
State-of-the-Art Scanning Electron Microscope for Multiple Applications: From Solar-Cells to Megaspores
(2016-05)
The University of Oklahoma (OU) recently acquired a Zeiss Neon, a dual beam
SEM/FIB Cross beam machine. This thesis focuses on its utilization via two
independent projects, one involving the characterization of solar-cells ...
CLASSICAL BALLET PRE-POINTE EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS OF THE PEDAGOGY FOR THE TRAINING OF YOUNG DANCERS
(2016-05-13)
The concept of preparing young female dancers for pointe work is not new to ballet education; however, attention to specific pre-pointe training has become more focused in recent years. Pre-pointe as a defined course of ...
FAULT RUPTURE PROCESSES DURING HIGH VELOCITY ROTARY SHEAR EXPERIMENTS
(2016-05-13)
High velocity shear experiments can provide information on fault rupture processes that seismological methods cannot. The present study focuses on two main aspects of fault rupture processes. One is developing a new, ...
AN ICEHOUSE DUST RECORD FROM THE UPPER PALEOZOIC (ASSELIAN-ARTINSKIAN, MOSCOVIAN) AKIYOSHI LIMESTONE (JAPAN)
(2016)
The Akiyoshi terrane in southwest Japan consists of a subduction-generated accretionary complex of shallow-marine limestone and deep-water spicular chert, underlain by ocean island-type basalt, all of which was obducted ...
Quantification of recovery factors in downspaced shale wells
(2016-12-16)
Well spacing optimization in horizontal multi-fractured wells is the center of field development. Unconventional reservoirs due to the low matrix permeability cannot produce without the help of hydraulic fracturing. Unlike ...
