1. Attempts to Prepare Porous Materials Based on Thiols and Fluorinated Precursors 2. Self-Sorting of Complex Libraries during Kinetically Controlled Acylations
(2015-08)This thesis presents three studies in supramolecular chemistry. First is the synthesis and characterization of dynamic covalent disulfide bond based metal-organic framework (MOF), second is development of the fluorinated ... -
2-D Deformable-layer Tomostatics in Sichuan, China
(2015-08)Static correction for near-surface effects is a critical issue for onshore seismic data processing due to its significant impact on imaging the subsurface structure, especially for area with severe topographic and near-surface ... -
2d DI-HADRON CORRELATION AT √SNN = 200 GeV USING THE STAR EXPERIMENT
(2012-12)The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Lab (BNL) in Long Island, New York, attempts to recreate the initial conditions at the birth of our universe. Heavy Au ions are accelerated up to 0.99995c ... -
3-D Plasmonic Nanoarchitectures: Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications
(December 2)Plasmonic nanostructures are known to concentrate incident light to their surfaces by collective electron oscillation, a.k.a., localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Plasmonic hot-spot refers to locations where ... -
3-D SEISMIC SURVEY DESIGN VIA MODELING AND REVERSE TIME MIGRATION: PIERCE JUNCTION SALT DOME, TEXAS
(2014-05)Seismic forward modeling studies are required for adequately imaging complex geological structures, such as folds, faults, and domes. Many U.S. Gulf Coast salt domes are used for oil and gas exploration, brine production, ... -
3D Allostratigraphic Mapping and Facies Heterogeneity of a Compound Tributary Incised Valley System, Turonian Ferron Sandstone, Notom Delta, South-Central Utah
(2013-05)Incised valley systems are important for sequence stratigraphic and exploration purposes. The tributary component of these systems may inherit complicated, self-similar, plan-view morphologies from the drainage networks ... -
3D GROUND-PENETRATING RADAR (GPR) INVESTIGATIONS: BURIED CULVERTS, HISTORICAL GRAVES, A SANDSTONE RESERVOIR ANALOG, AND AN IMPACT CRATER
(2016-05)Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is used to characterize a variety of subsurface targets such as buried culverts, historical graves, reservoir analogs, and impact craters. In the first case of “buried culverts” I evaluated ... -
3D Reconstruction of Tubular Structures Using MRI Projection Images
(2018-04-16)After imaging information became available in digital form, techniques for acquiring volumetric data evolved. 3D reconstruction is mostly performed using multislice stack images. The objective of this dissertation is to ... -
3D SEISMIC GEOMORPHOLOGY AND SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF LATE QUATERNARY SHELF AND SHELF -MARGIN DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS, NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO
(2015-08)Optimal exploitation of deltaic reservoirs needs detailed facies and architectural element analysis as a base for a comprehensive geological model. To date, very few studies have evaluated regional shelf-margin deltaic ... -
3D Seismic Survey Design: Coil Shooting, Multi-Component (3C) Receivers with Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Case Histories
(2015-05)The effectiveness of seismic imaging depends on numerous factors, beginning with how the data are acquired. The analyses presented in this theses show the importance of survey design, as individual parameters exert a strong ... -
A Case Study Analysis of Academic Advisors’ Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Intrusive Advising
(December 2)Background. This study examines how and why intrusive advising programs function from the perspective of academic advisors who utilize the intrusive style of advising with community college students entering into college ... -
A Case Study Of An Early College High School: Students' Perceptions Of The Benefits And Challenges Experienced While Attending An Early College High School And Factors Influencing Program Completion
(2016-12)Nationwide, there has been an enormous amount of attention paid to the importance of college readiness for high school students. The Early College High School Program was created to address the problems of low college ... -
A CASE STUDY OF DELAYING SCHOOL ENTRY ON THE EFFECTS OF STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS IN SEVENTH GRADE
(2012-05)The concept known as “red-shirting” in sports to provide an athletic advantage by delaying a child’s entry into sports is also prevalent among parents who perceive an academic advantage for delaying their children’s school ... -
A Case Study of Middle School Discipline Referrals by Gender, Grade Level, and Consequence
(2011-05)The purpose of this study is to determine if office discipline referrals differ significantly by gender and grade level for middle school students, and to determine if a relationship exists between gender, discipline reason, ... -
