A subgrid approach for unresolved topography in shallow water hydrodynamic modeling
(2016-12)This study develops methods to represent the effect of subgrid scale topography for shallow water hydrodynamic models using Cartesian grids. Neglect of subgrid scale topographic variability is recognized as causing ... -
"Are you getting angry Doctor?" : Madea, strategy and the fictional rejection of black female containment
(2014-05)Within the scope of this thesis, I provide close textual and visual readings of director/actor/producer Tyler Perry's most well-known character, Mable "Madea" Simmons -- a performance he does in full female drag attire -- ... -

Proximity operations of nanosatellites in Low Earth Orbit
(2013-12)A mission architecture consisting of two NASA LONESTAR-2 satellites in Low Earth Orbit is considered. The craft are equipped with cross-communication radios and GPS units. Analyses are conducted for ejection, thruster ... -
Testing geologic and geometric effects on drilling operations using torque and drag models
Intuitively, geologic and geometric effects on torque and drag should be significant. But literature suggests otherwise. Lesage et al. (1988) wrote that friction coefficients are not affected by lithology and hole angle, ...
