CATALYTIC UPGRADING OF SUGAR DERIVATIVES
(2016-08-12)
With industrial revolution there has been a huge increase in demand for petroleum-based fuel. Detrimental effects on environment due to unprecedented use of fossil fuels and shortage in its availability has spurred the ...
Observations of Cold Front Features at High Spatiotemporal Resolution Using the Atmospheric Imaging Radar
(2016-08-12)
Over the past 40+ years, cold front vertical structure has been studied for the

(2016)
This project analyzes the public discourse of three heads of South Africa on the spread of HIV/AIDS in the post-apartheid era. Each of these individuals – Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, and Jacob Zuma – exemplify the historical, ...
Characterization of Rotary Seals Through Identification of Performance Parameters
(2016)
The oil and gas industry is one of the largest industries in the world and is an industry that everyday lives rely on, especially in the United States (U.S.). The constant need for technological advances is more critical ...
Understanding and Predicting Nocturnal Convection Initiation using an Ensemble-based Multi-scale Data Assimilation System
(2016-08-12)
A nocturnal maximum in precipitation exists over the Great Plains during the summer. The initiation of nocturnal storms is notoriously difficult to forecast in numerical models due to the storms often involving interactions ...
THE KEROGEN 3D SOLID STATE STRUCTURE MODELING AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN RESERVOIR SIMULATION
(2016-12-16)
A 3D solid state Green River Oil Shale kerogen model was built in this thesis through the following two steps: 1. a molecular nanocluster model of kerogen composed of seven molecules was built based on an adsorption method; ...
Adsorptive Trapping of Bio-oil Compounds onto Activated Carbon
(2016-08)
Industrialization and its long-term effects on the environment are receiving increased scrutiny from both political and environmental pundits questioning environmental sustainability in a time of globalization. Traditional ...
A Pixel-Based Focus+Context Technique for Visualizing Variation in Classical Text
(2016-05)
Before the advent of printed texts, text duplication was primarily done by hand copying. As a result, numerous versions of the same text with errors, alterations, and erasures were often created. Classics scholars synthesize ...
