Blood Damage Analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics of Blood Flow through a Functioning and Malfunctioning Bileaflet Artificial Heart Valve
(2018-08)
Artificial heart valves are an invaluable tool to treat heart defects and diseases. However, these prosthetic devices may expose the blood to turbulent flow conditions leading to unnaturally high stress that can damage ...
Passive Actuation of a Planetary Rover to Assist Sandy Slope Traverse
(2016)
This thesis introduces the design of a novel locomotive methodology. The problem being addressed is the traverse of unmanned locomotion over sandy inclined traverses. This is a special terramechanical issue regarding terrain ...
SEASONAL AND CLIMATIC MODEL OF LESSER PRAIRIE-CHICKEN DEMOGRAPHICS
(2017-05)
Abstract
The lesser prairie-chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus) has suffered substantial losses in both population number and occupied range over the last century. Although the species has been the focus of range-wide ...

Identification of mid-tropospheric patterns associated with tornado outbreaks in the United States.
(2019-12)
The identification of large-scale atmospheric patterns associated with tornado outbreaks poses a great challenge. It involves analysis of physical processes occurring at different time and space scales that, in the right ...
Unsupervised seismic facies using Gaussian mixture models
(2017-08)
ABSTRACT
As the use of seismic attributes becomes more widespread, multivariate seismic analysis has become more commonplace for seismic facies analysis. Unsupervised machine learning techniques provide methods of ...
