Stratigraphy and depositional environments of the Late Jurassic Hanifa Formation along the Tuwaiq Escarpment, Saudi Arabia
(2017-06-26)
A sequence stratigraphic framework of the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian) Hanifa Formation at its exposure in Central Arabia is presented for the first time. This study offers the first high-resolution stratigraphic framework ...
Sand distribution along shelf-edge deltaic systems : a case study from eastern offshore Trinidad
(2010-12)
The study area is situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates offshore eastern offshore Trinidad. Major structural elements in the shelf break and deep-water slope regions ...
Structure of southern Indio Mountains, Hudspeth County, Texas
(1953)
The Indio Mountains are related stratigraphically to the Mexican Geosyncline, structurally to the Sierra Madre Oriental and the Basin-and-Range Province. Cretaceous sedimentary formations, approximately 5000 feet thick, ...
Two studies on the acoustics of multiphase materials : seagrass tissue and encapsulated bubbles
(2014-05)
There are two focal points of this thesis: the acoustics of seagrass and the acoustical properties of encapsulated bubbles for underwater noise abatement. The acoustical properties of seagrass have applications in mine ...
Performing the law : the theatrical features of Demosthenes’ On the crown
(2010-05)
Scholarly analysis of rhetorical speeches over the last century has been concentrated on the “traditional” ways of approaching this kind of texts, without paying much attention to their theatrical nature. The old critical ...

What does it mean to be a Teaching Artist and how does the creation and facilitation of an applied theatre program with youth shape a Teaching Artist’s identity? This thesis follows the journey of one Teaching Artist and ...
End-region behavior of precast, prestressed concrete I-girders employing 0.7-inch diameter prestressing strands
(2016-08-11)
Pretensioned concrete girders are currently fabricated using 0.5- or 0.6-in. diameter prestressing strands. In recent years, however, it has become of interest to employ larger-diameter 0.7-in. diameter strands to reduce ...
Quantifying the fidelity of a novel methodology for in-core experiment prototyping at the advanced test reactor
(2011-12)
We have recently developed and tested a new computational method for experiment prototyping at the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR). The method significantly reduces neutronic computation time while maintaining computational ...
Prototypical nepantla : border walls, land art, and the discursive in-between
(2019-05-08)
This thesis is an interdisciplinary analysis of the Border Wall Prototypes commissioned by the Trump administration through the signing of Executive Order 13767 on January 25, 2017. Through a hybrid analysis of place and ...
Modeling hydrodynamic fluxes in the Nueces River Delta
(2011-08)
Increasing municipal and regional water demands have reduced freshwater inflows to the Nueces Delta. These flow reductions impair the marsh ecosystem’s functionality. As part of a United States Army Corps of Engineers ...
