Investigation of the Effects of End Region Deterioration in Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders
(2016)
An important factor in life expectancy of concrete bridges is the effect of corrosion of reinforcing steel on concrete and appurtenant embedded materials. New bridges, though continuously exposed to the elements, are ...
More Than a Key: An Analysis of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 8, Op. 65
(2016-05-13)
This thesis offers an analysis of the fifth movement Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 8, Op. 65. Although the work has been discussed in relation to Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5, Op. 67, no thorough analysis of the work ...
DIAMOND AND PARYLENE COMPOSITE BONDING: A POWERFUL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC THIN FILM DEVICE FABRICATION
(2016-05-13)
A new and powerful method for electronic device fabrication is presented. A diamond and parylene composite thin film layer bonding process is described. Two sizes of diamond particles, nominally 0~0.5µm and 0~2µm were used ...
PERFORMANCE PREDICTION FOR DEEPWATER GULF OF MEXICO USING DATA MINING
(2016-08-05)
The estimation of recovery factor is important in every stage of hydrocarbon development, and multiple traditional techniques are available for engineering application for particular fields. However, the estimated recovery ...
Digital Radar Implementation With System Response Compensation Through Amplitude Predistortion
(2016-12-16)
Radars traditionally synthesize waveforms by using a variety of analog electronics. These analog components are collectively referred to as the analog chain. A typical electronic analog chain contains multiple components, ...
Doppler Radar Analyses of Tornadic Supercells on 19 May 2013
(2016-05-13)
On 19 May 2013, two supercells moved through central Oklahoma and produced seven tornadoes, including one of EF-3 and one of EF-4 intensity. High temporal and spatial resolution observations were collected in both strong ...
Molecular Evolution of a Na, K-ATPase in Weakly Electric Fish
(2016-12)
African mormyrids and South American gymnotiforms are two independently evolved lineages of weakly electric fish that produce electric organ discharges (EODs) as sensory and communication signals. EOD frequency varies ...
Rapid-scan, polarimetric, mobile, Doppler-radar observations of the formation, evolution, and structure of the El Reno tornado of 31 May 2013
(2016-10)
On 31 May 2013, the mobile, Rapid-scan, X-band, Polarimetric (RaXPol) radar collected a high spatial and temporal resolution dataset documenting the genesis, intensification, and dissipation of a tornado that caused EF-3 ...
Improving fault images using a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian operator
(2016-05)
Fault picking is a critical, but human-intensive component of seismic interpretation. In a bid to improve fault imaging in seismic data, I have applied a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian (dLoG) operator to sharpen fault ...
The Works of Will James: His Contribution to the Mythologizing of the American Cowboy
(2016-12)
The life of Will James is one of mystery. His works, however, tell the story of a life he was meant to live. Born Joseph Ernest Nephtali Dufault in 1892 in Saint-Nazaire-d’Acton, the boy grew up yearning to be a cowboy. ...
