Large Scale and Local Influences on the Occurrence and Maintenance of Liquid Bearing Clouds over the Greenland Ice Sheet
(2016)
Arctic liquid bearing clouds (LBCs) have a large impact on the surface radiation and cryospheric mass budgets. Their effect on the surface radiation budget is a combination of two competing processes. First, they can ...
Galling of Stainless Steels in Low Static Contact and High Cycle Applications
(2016)
This study was done to examine the mechanisms involved in the galling of stainless steel surfaces which are subjected to low static contact loads while undergoing a high number of sliding cycles. Presented is a theoretical ...
Simulation of Polarimetric Phased Array Weather Radars
(2016-05)
Polarimetric phased array radars (PPARs) are a rapidly developing area of research interest in weather radar. However, they present intrinsic challenges for calibration and operation. Foremost among these are the adverse ...
Beta Diversity of Stream Fish Communities: Partitioning Variation Between Abiotic and Spatial Factors
(2016)
Variation in species composition of assemblages within a region is known as beta diversity. Beta diversity contributes to regional diversity (gamma), and understanding the factors that maintain it and explain variation of ...
Strategies for Catalytic Upgrading of Vapor Streams from Thermal Fractionation of Biomass
(2016-05)
Herein several strategies for the catalytic upgrading of biomass to green chemicals and fuels are discussed. Both vapor and liquid phase reaction pathways have been investigated. Many different fuel precursors and chemical ...
Quantitative Analysis of Social Media Sensitivity to Natural Disasters
(2015)
The use of social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter increased exponentially over the last years. They have become a major tool for people to communicate, and for news media to relay their content. In parallel ...
Organic Geochemistry of The Woodford Shale, Cherokee Platform, OK and its Role in a Complex Petroleum System
(2016-05-13)
The Woodford Shale is probably the most prolific source rock in the Anadarko Basin and Cherokee Platform. During the last decade, it became more important due to its high unconventional hydrocarbon potential. Recent studies ...
The Information-Seeking Behavior of Catholic Women Discerning a Vocation to Religious Life
(2016-05-13)
Approximately 10% of Roman Catholic women will seriously discern a vocation to religious life during their lifetime (CARA, 2009). Spiritual discernment is often characterized by prayer and spiritual direction, but also ...

(2016)
Individuals in positions of leadership should possess certain qualities that allow them to situations of great stress and crisis. These qualities are especially important in extraordinary and overwhelming circumstances ...
APPLICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES ON 2D RECONNAISSANCE SURVEYS
(2016-05-14)
Reconnaissance surveys of 2D seismic data are acquired before most 3D seismic
surveys to define the area of interest and regional trends. While seismic attributes are
routinely applied to 3D data, they are less commonly ...
