An experimental investigation of drilling mud discharged into a flowing stratified environment

Creator:: Mohebbi, Behrooz
Abstract:: An experimental study of the short-term fate of a drilling mud discharged into a flowing stratified environment was conducted to determine its dilution and settling characteristics. The drilling mud used in this test had a specific gravity of 1.184 and a composition of 12 percent by weight high-gravity solids (BaSO₄)...

Automatic program generation for scientific computing

Creator:: Fu, Zhe
Abstract:: The code reuse problem is a common software engineering problem in scientific computing. As a prevailing programming language in many scientific fields, Fortran does not provide support to address this problem. One particular reason is that Fortran lacks the support for generic programming. By applying program-generation techniques, we developed two...

Rocks and reactors : an atomic interpretation of human rights, 1941-1979

Creator:: Richards, Linda Marie
Abstract:: The atomic age was enacted by many scientists as a way to realize health and human rights. Human rights were conceived in this context as rights to economic development, science education, and nuclear medicine. The United States Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) acted hand in hand with UN agencies and educators...

The Science of Becoming Noble: Rationalizing Aristocracy through Diagrammatic Notations for Dance and Drill in the Age of Enlightenment

Creator:: Caulkins, Tamara L.
Abstract:: During the eighteenth century, diagrams increasingly became an important aspect of scientific inquiry. Diagrams employed simplification as a strategy for representing complex information, played a role in standardizing scientific language, and served as instruments of reason to think through and communicate problems and findings in mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, natural...

Visualizers, visualizations, and visualizees : differences in meaning-making by scientific experts and novices from global visualizations of ocean data

Creator:: Stofer, Kathryn A.
Abstract:: Data visualizations designed for academic scientists are not immediately meaningful to everyday scientists. Communicating between a specialized, expert audience and a general, novice public is non-trivial; it requires careful translation. However, more widely available visualization technologies and platforms, including new three-dimensional spherical display systems in schools and informal science education...

On the reduction and interpretation of ocean-floor temperature and heat flow data

Creator:: Shih, Keh-gong
Abstract:: In this thesis, the interpretation and reduction of ocean heat flow measurements are discussed on the basis of theoretical models. The instrument effect x heat flow measurements is investigated for the case of long period measurements by studying the heat conduction along the measurement probe for both steady and unsteady...

Determinants of public opinion on renewable energy : the case of wave energy development in Oregon

Creator:: Stefanovich Petrova, Maria A.
Abstract:: Renewable energy resources, such as wind, solar, and wave, have a number of advantages compared to traditional fossil fuels. Numerous studies attest to the physical potential for wave energy development in Oregon. In transitioning from conventional fossil fuel to alternative energy provision, citizen understanding of the global energy problems and...

The great fires : Indian burning and catastrophic forest fire patterns of the Oregon Coast Range, 1491-1951

Creator:: Zybach, Bob
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between land management practices of Indian communities prior to contact with Europeans and the nature or character of subsequent catastrophic forest fires in the Oregon Coast Range. The research focus is spatial and temporal patterns of Indian burning across the...

The salinity extrema of the world ocean

Creator:: Ingham, Merton C., 1930-
Abstract:: The principal salinity extrema and extremum surfaces of the world ocean are described by the analysis and plotting of data from 885 hydrographic stations in the three major oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the American Mediterranean Sea. The distributions of salinity, temperature, depth, and density along the extremum surfaces, plotted...
