Electrolysis Of Coal And Carbon Slurry Suspensions
(Chemistry & Biochemistry, 2013-03-20)
In this dissertation study, different ranks of coal and carbons were tested as anode depolarizers in a three electrode electrochemical cell designed for hydrogen generation. The focus of this study was mainly Texas lignite ...
Racial Disparity And The Crack Cocaine Federal Sentencing Guidelines
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2013-03-20)
Racial disparities throughout the Federal Prison System are perhaps more apparent today than ever largely due to the fact that people are becoming increasingly cognizant of disproportionate sentencing for various types of ...
Stress Concentrations Around A Square Cutout In A Composite Plate
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Composite structure in the aircraft industry has been in development for well over half a century and yet the understanding of the effects of a square cutout is generally limited to quasi-isotropic laminates. Currently, ...
Particle Advection Using The Lattice-Boltzmann Method
(Aerospace Engineering, 2013-03-20)
Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) CFD analysis can be helpful in analysing fluid flow through porous media and complex geometries that may be difficult to simulate using traditional CFD methods. In this thesis, the technical ...
Growth Rates Of The Harmful Alga Prymnesium parvum: An Attempt To Identify The Salinity Threshold For Algal Blooms
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2013-03-20)
Harmful algal blooms due to Prymnesium parvum have occurred in Texas for nearly three decades in waters of moderate salinity. More recently, blooms have occurred in locations such as West Virginia, in waters of very low ...
A Novel Scheme For Contact Predictions In Opportunistic Networks
(Computer Science & Engineering, 2013-03-20)
In the opportunistic network (ON) paradigm information is exchanged between two devices as they encounter each other. For such information exchange to take place the devices must know about the presence of other devices ...
Urban Morphology, Open Space Planning And Analysis Tools: Fort Worth Since The 1909 Kessler Plan
(Landscape Architecture, 2013-07-22)
This thesis focuses on the relationship between the parks system and city growth patterns in Fort Worth, Texas. It describes the evolution of the city's parks as well as the city's urban morphology since the inception of ...
Optimal Stopping For Markov Modulated Ito-diffusion With Applications To Finance
(Mathematics, 2013-07-22)
Despite the outstanding success of the Black-Scholes model, it relies on the assumption that drift and volatility of the underlying equity remain constant throughout time. This inaccuracy has motivated a number of interesting ...
Attitudes And Beliefs Regarding Sexual Assaults
(Criminology & Criminal Justice, 2013-07-22)
Perceptions of sexual assaults were compared among college students in this thesis. The findings indicate that men and women have significantly different perceptions of sexual assault and the fairness of the criminal ...
Synthesis Of Silver-diamond Like Carbon Thin Films By Magnetron Sputtering
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2013-07-22)
Diamond-like carbon thin films are been used in wide range of applications due to their attractive tribological properties. Metal-doped DLC films have significant properties which make them compatible to use in larger ...
