Isotopic fractions of europium, barium, and samarium in metal-poor stars
(2007-05)We present our analysis of the isotopic fractions of europium (Eu), barium (Ba), and samarium (Sm) in three metal-poor stars with contrasting nucleosynthetic enrichment histories. We have obtained new high-resolution (R ~ ... -
No evidence for millimeter continuum source overdensities in the environments of z [greater than approximately] 6 quasars
(2018-09-05)Bright high-redshift quasars (z > 6), hosting supermassive black holes (M [subscript BH] > 10⁸M [subscript circled dot]), are expected to reside in massive host galaxies embedded within some of the earliest, most massive ... -
Shell morphology and Raman spectra of epitaxial Ge-Si x̳ Ge₁₋x̳ and Si-Si x̳ Ge₁₋x̳ core-shell nanowires
In this thesis, we investigate the shell morphology and Raman spectra of epitaxial Ge−Si [subscript x] Ge₁₋[subscript x] and Si−Si [subscript x] Ge₁₋[subscript x] core−shell nanowire heterostructures grown using a combination ... -
Coupled chemo-mechanical processes in reservoir geomechanics
(2018-06-15)Reservoir geomechanics investigates the implications of rock deformation, strain localization, and failure for completion and production of subsurface energy reservoirs. For example, effective hydraulic fracture placement ... -
Rapid modeling and inversion-based interpretation of borehole acoustic measurements acquired in isotropic and vertical transversely isotropic formations
(2017-12-08)Borehole acoustic measurements are often affected by instrument noise, motion and eccentricity, environmental conditions, and spatial averaging that can compromise the accuracy of elastic properties of rock formations ... -
A model for hydraulic fracturing and proppant placement in unconsolidated sands
(2017-12-07)Hydraulic fracturing in unconsolidated or poorly consolidated formations has been used as a technique for well stimulation and for sand control. Although a large number of hydraulic fracturing operations have been performed ... -
Fracture analysis for lost circulation and wellbore strengthening
(2016-09-09)Lost circulation is the partial or complete loss of drilling fluid into a formation. It is among the major non-productive time events in drilling operations. Most of the lost circulation events are fracture initiation and ... -
A study of the effectiveness of the Clear Flow Matrix in building construction projects
Cost overruns, schedule delays, and contractual claims are commonplace in construction projects. These issues often are the result of poor planning by the construction management team, or the improper alignment of field ... -
Recharge in a semi-arid basin aquifer : Ryan Flat and Lobo Flat, Trans-Pecos, Texas
(2002)In arid and semi-arid settings a key hydrological question is: does significant recharge occur and, if so, where, how much, and by what mechanisms? Ryan Flat and Lobo Flat are underlain by a bolson aquifer in Trans-Pecos ... -

Geometric controls on the inland extent of dynamic thinning for Greenland Ice Sheet outlet glaciers
(2018-08-03)The Greenland Ice Sheet has been losing mass at an accelerating rate since 2003, in part due to changes in ice sheet dynamics. As ocean-terminating outlet glaciers retreat, they initiate thinning that diffuses inland, ... -

Studies in seismic scattering
(1992)Modem methods of seismic data analysis are tending to inversion through model fitting, i.e., actually finding the best model of the Earth's subsurface which would produce the amplitude and phase variation in the observed ... -
One and two dimensional velocity inversion in the domain of intercept time and ray parameter : an example in the Nankai Trough
(1989)The intercept time equation in τ-p (Diebold and Stoffa, 1981) [mathematical equation] is used as the basis for exact 1D and 2D τ-p velocity analysis. Intercept time curves for an initial model are superimposed on the τ-p ... -

Least squares inversion of field seismic data for an elastic 1-D Earth
(1993)Elastic 1-D inversion of seismic reflection data is successfully applied to common midpoint field data of varying offset ranges. The inversion, actually iterative forward modeling, operates on plane wave seismic data and ...
