MERGING RADAR-ONLY QPE AND RAIN GAUGE DATA VIA CONDITIONAL BIAS-PENALIZED OPTIMAL ESTIMATION
(2015-12-08)
A new technique for merging radar precipitation estimates and rain gauge data is developed and evaluated to improve multisensor quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE). Various types of linear and nonlinear techniques ...
FLUID UPTAKE OF THE GODDARD SHALE IN SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA, USA
(2015-12-07)
The South Central Oklahoma Oil Province is the current play for the Goddard shale and is also the main field for the underlying Woodford Formation. As of September 2015, an estimated 40 wells have been drilled to evaluate ...
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF SPATIAL-MODE-SELECTIVE FREQUENCY UP-CONVERSION
(2015-11-30)
We experimentally investigate the spatial-mode-selective frequency up-conversion by sum-frequency generation in a second-order medium. In particular, we are interested in zero and first order Gaussian modes.
In our ...
A Unified SWCC-clay Mineralogy Based Framework For Predicting Swell Behavior Of Expansive Soils
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Expansive soils are spread over different climatic zones around the world with varying mineralogical content and microstructure, making the soil to absorb moisture between their mineral layers and therefore undergo volume ...
Effect Of Termite Gut Microbe TAV5 On Methane Production From Municipal Solid Waste Degradation
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2015)
Methane from anaerobic processes is being increasingly utilized as an alternative energy source in developed countries, via large projects that extract methane from landfills or wastewater treatment plants. Anaerobic ...
ANTIOXIDATIVE AND ANTINEOPLASTIC EFFECTS OF Mn(III) SALPHENS, S-ALLYL CYSTEINE AND ITS SYNTHETIC ANALOGUES
(University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 2015-12)
Presently used chemotherapeutic drugs are not very selective and do not have the capability to differentiate between normal cells and malignant cells, which leads to the development of adverse side-effects and systemic ...
How Well, And How Quick, Do They Click? Initial Dyadic Interactions Between Straight Women And Gay (vs. Straight) Men
(Psychology, 2015)
Past literature and popular culture have suggested that a strong, interpersonal connection quickly develops between straight women and gay men; however, research has not yet explored whether this phenomenon can be observed ...
Impact Of Viscoelastic Material Characterization Of PCB's On Thermomechanical Properties Of QFN Thick Package Under Thermal Cycling
(Mechanical Engineering, 2015)
The QFN component package is a quad flat pack (QFP) with “no-leads”, where the electrical contact to the printed circuit board (PCB) is made through soldering of the lands underneath the package body rather than the ...
DISTRIBUTED ON-DEMAND INTEGRITY MONITORING OF LEGACY APPLICATIONS AND RELIABLE ANALYSIS OF MIXED-MODE USER-KERNEL LEVEL ROOTKITS
(2015-12-07)
The increasing number of malicious programs has become a serious threat. The growth of malware samples has led computer security researchers to design and develop automatic malware detection and analysis tools. At the same ...
Green Criminological Concerns & Philosophical Beliefs
(2015-12-07)
The purpose of this research project was to test the philosophical argument that people who maintained a dualistic mindset or sustained a belief in the existence of the soul would be less concerned with environmental crime. ...
