Mobile sediments in a karst aquifer
(1997)
In karst aquifers, mobile sediments may play a fundamental role in determining water quality by concentrating and transporting contaminants. This study investigates spatial characteristics of sediment in a karst aquifer, ...
The political education of Lyndon Baines Johnson : the making of a Texas and national Democrat
(1997-12)
Lyndon Johnson, the thirty-sixth President, had a profound affect on the Democratic Party in America. Johnson was contradictory, supportive, and harmful to the Democratic Party during the middle decades of the twentieth ...
A study of the career paths and patterns of African American superintendents
(1997-08)
The purpose of this descriptive study was to investigate the professional experiences of African American superintendents. The research questions focused on: (1) career path and career patterns; (2) the extent of selected ...
Mechanical and Hydraulic Behavior of Acid Fractures - Experimental Studies and Mathematical Modeling
(1997-12)
Acid fracturing is a well stimulation method commonly used in carbonate
reservoirs. In the process, an HCl solution, sometimes viscosified or emulsified, is
injected into the formation above the fracture pressure to ...
Defect rate estimation and cost minimization using imperfect acceptance sampling with rectification
(1997-05)
An important aspect of any quality control program is estimation of the quality of outgoing products. This dissertation applies Acceptance Sampling with rectification to the problem of quality assurance when the inspection ...
Least-Squares Finite Element Method For Hydrocarbon Transport In Porous Media
(1997-08)
Mathematical models for the transport of constituent components of a
multicomponent system in a porous medium play an important part in petroleum
reservoir analysis and production. The success of such models is dependent ...
Vadose-zone geochemistry of playa wetlands, High Plains, Texas
(1997)
Soil-gas beneath 3 playa wetlands was monitored June 1992-May 1995 and sampled from as deep as 45 feet within the >2OO-ft unsaturated zone. Playa soils, surface water, rainwater, and groundwater were also analyzed, along ...
An Investigation of Countercurrent Imbibition Recovery in Naturally Fractured Reservoirs With Experimental Analysis and Analytical Modeling
(1997-12)
Naturally fractured reservoirs occur worldwide containing potentially
economic and strategic fluids such as gas, oil and water. Modeling of naturally
fractured reservoirs has advanced considerably because of the desire ...
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Fluid Displacements in Porous Media
(1997-08)
Measurement of the in-situ fluid saturation distributions is essential and
important in laboratory coreflooding experiments in order to correctly evaluate the
fluid displacement mechanisms and processes. Nuclear magnetic ...
