description: This project was designed to locate and evaluate a prospective watered-out gas reservoir in the Texas Gulf Coast inland area. The prospective reservoir was to be suitable for application of enhanced gas recovery methods for producing the unconventional gas that remained in the reservoir after primary gas production ceased. A test well site would be located within a favorable prospect area. Previous work conducted by the Bureau of Economic Geology for the U.S. Department of Energy focused on the selection of test well sites in the Frio Formation and Wilcox Group of the Texas Gulf Coast. These studies were intended to make use of thermal energy, mechanical energy, and gas dissolved in formation waters by producing large volumes of hot water from deep, highly pressured formations. In this project, funded by the Gas Research Institute, interest shifted to locating prospective reservoirs containing significant quantities of free gas in addition to the gas dissolved in the water. Abandoned watered-out reservoirs and wet zones where large amounts of water must be produced to obtain the gas by co-production were identified. The present project, funded by the Gas Research Institute, shows their continuing interest in unconventional gas and in developing prospects that are favorable for co-production of gas and water from watered-out gas reservoirs. Guidelines used to screen gas fields along the Texas Gulf Coast resulted in the selection of the Port Arthur field, Jefferson County, Texas, as a suitable prospect for application of enhanced gas recovery methods. Several watered-out gas sandstones in this field have excellent reservoir characteristics. All 18 wells in the field have been plugged and abandoned by previous operators; hence, leasing problems should be simplified. Abundant shallow Miocene sands in the area are available for salt-water disposal. The "C" reservoir interval, located at an average depth of 11,130 ft, received the most extensive evaluation. Predicted gas recovery by natural flow is 5.1 billion standard cubic feet as reservoir pressure declines from 6,632 to 4,309 psig. A sample economic analysis showed a net present worth of $968,000 and a payout time of 3 years. This prospect has the potential to be economically profitable in addition to being a good research and development test for evaluating co-production techniques. It is recommended that a co-production well be drilled and tested on a site near the Meredith No. 2 Doornbos (Well 14).
Long term data retention

description: Most information today forgoes a solely physical medium and resides in a digital format; however, the information may be altered or lost over time. There is a need to create a library that will persist for generations with relevant information and be accessible to anyone globally. Possible formats for data storage include microfilm, magnetic disks, solid state drives, DNA data storage, optical data storage, holographic data storage, and cloud computing. All give various solutions to longevity and physical and data integrity but the proposed route utilizes cloud computing due to its growing market and increase of use in businesses and education. The data contained within needs to maintain a high level of data authenticity and integrity. It will require a way to maintain a system of error-correcting codes to make sure the data is unaltered during storage or transfers. I discuss the basic architecture of data centers, the cost of powering them, utilizing more space as data is added, and global load balancing. In regards to the data, I address containment, and solutions on how to deal with environmental and human accidents, severe weather conditions, law and copyright issues, hacking and in extreme cases an electromagnetic pulse from a nuclear explosion. The main data centers should be duplicated in distant and secure locations in both developing and established areas. Data contained in the library must be analyzed for relevance and review to prevent additions of unnecessary or inaccurate data. Finally, I propose best practices with the current information compiled on the creation of a long-term data retention library and what possible future solutions instead.

Art for the people, by the people: the role of artistic expression in American democracy
Creators: name: Hefka, Angela Irene
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Drawing from a multidisciplinary approach, I outline the importance of visual art in a democracy, specifically in the United States. Art, unlike propaganda, allows the public to discuss political agendas through a visual medium. Art can be used as a tool to articulate the public’s political wants and needs, therefore, being an agent in a democratic government. Although the relationship between art and democracy occurs before 1945, this literature solely focuses on art in the modern and post-modern era, a period that experienced great political activism and emerging art forms. Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art movements of the 1950s, had direct inspiration from the American economy – domestically and internationally. In both instances the government utilized art that was inspired by the people to support political agendas. The art of the 1960’s sparked discussion surrounding the Civil Rights issues. America not only faced inequality with race, but also of sex. Artists challenged these social norms through art, which led to changes to law and policy eliminating discriminated based on sex and race. On a larger scale, art tests the American democracy on the national and international arena. Artist can use the visual medium to send a message to the government and the government has the option to respond. Visual art is necessary for a democracy to rightly function as it intends to influence, critique, and propel civic agendas and priorities by and for the general public. Democracy is not meant to stay static. On the contrary, for a democracy to function, it must continue to grow and adapt to the needs of the people. Art is a powerful tool for a democracy to rightly function.

Effects of fine woody debris on arthropod communities in the NJ Pinelands

Year: 2020

description: Climate change is modifying weather patterns, including the frequency and intensity of storms. The ecological consequences of these storms have primarily been studied for warm weather storms, such as hurricanes. During the winter of 2017-18, New Jersey experienced an increase in snowstorms. These storms caused significant tree damage, mostly consisting of broken branches and limbs. For the NJ Pinelands, this produced an atypical environment. The increased fine woody debris (FWD) altered the forest floor, increasing its habitat complexity. I tested the hypothesis that a forest floor with increased FWD would result in increased ground dwelling arthropod abundance and diversity, with potential shifts in composition. I conducted a field experiment in the NJ Pinelands with varying levels of FWD (removal, control, & addition treatments). Carnivores were ~50-60% less abundant in removal plots than in control and addition plots, respectively. Carnivores also had significantly different composition in addition plots compared to all other plots, with Staphylinid beetles and spiders contributing the most to differences among plots. Similarly, ant species composition was significantly shifted in addition plots compared to other plots and ant diversity was 56% higher in addition plots than it was in control plots. Prenolepis imparis, Tapinoma sessile, and Crematogaster lineolata contributed the most to differences among plots. In contrast, detritivores had significantly higher abundance in plots with FWD removed than in control and addition plots. Detritivore composition was also most distinct in removal plots with Collembola contributing the most to differences among plots. These changes in arthropod communities in the NJ Pinelands could lead to altered ecosystem services they provide, including soil turnover, decomposition and seed dispersal. The results found in this study broadly implicate the effect of climate change on the NJ Pinelands Reserve.
#LucyisMargate: a community's efforts to save their town's resident pachyderm

description: Lucy the Margate Elephant is a historic structure located in Margate, New Jersey. She was constructed by James V. Lafferty in 1881 and is shaped like an Asian elephant. The elephant was in danger of demolition but was saved by a group of volunteers in the 1970s known as the Save Lucy Committee. In this thesis, I examine the emotions and connections people feel toward Lucy and try to determine why the campaign for her preservation has been so successful. To do so, I discuss notions of community and heritage and provide a general background on zoomorphic architecture and roadside attractions in the United States.The methodology used in this study was a mixture of interviews and document analysis. Interviews with individuals connected with Lucy and documentary evidence suggested that people connect with Lucy because she is a unique and singular structure. She is also frequently associated with childhood memories and serves in many ways as a symbol for her community and as an outlet for people’s feelings about change in the community’s character.

description: The Bureau of Economic Geology's Reservoir Characterization Research Laboratory project, "Characterization of San Andres and Grayburg Reservoirs," was initiated in September 1988 and has completed the first year of a proposed 2-year program. Substantial progress has been made toward the goals of this program, which are focused on development of advanced approaches to reservoir characterization for improving recovery efficiency of substantial remaining mobile oil resources in these prolific reservoirs. Key research results are in the areas of (1) quantitative description and geostatistical modeling of interwell and reservoir-scale heterogeneity from San Andres outcrops, and (2) preliminary studies on integration of the quantitative outcrop models with a geologic/engineering characterization of the Seminole San Andres Unit. Outcrop geologic studies were carried out at play, reservoir, and interwell scales along the Algerita Escarpment, Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico. This 17-mile play-scale study area provides a dip-section framework for detailed investigations and serves as an analogous reservoir framework for comparison with producing San Andres fields. Reservoir-scale mapping of a 4-mile dip section of the upper San Andres with measured sections spaced 1,000 to 2,000 ft apart demonstrates the compartmentalization of individual grainstone shoal complexes on the scale of several thousand feet laterally and 50 to 100 ft vertically.

Nineteenth-century grave markers and twenty-first century landscaping at Laurel Hill Cemetery
Creators: name: Sanborn, Rachel
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Like most cemeteries, the grounds of Laurel Hill are mostly covered by two things: grave markers and grass. Although landscaping is necessary to keep the grave markers clean, visible, and accessible, modern landscaping methods can potentially cause damage to Laurel Hill‘s hundred-year-old grave markers. This thesis looks at the methods used by groundskeepers at Laurel Hill and suggests changes that could be made to better protect and preserve the site. My investigation concentrates on grave markers installed during the Victorian period, between 1837 and 1901. I considered any and all modern-day landscaping equipment used by Laurel Hill‘s groundskeepers, including lawnmowers, pesticides, the removal of plants by hand, and especially string trimmers. Following my research, this thesis recommends that financial resources be reallocated to hire landscapers that specialize in cemetery maintenance. Further, this thesis recommends that additional study be conducted, and a master plan commissioned.

description: Activities during the year comprised screening and selection of gas fields for detailed studies; integrated geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and engineering analyses of the fields selected; and data acquisition in cooperative wells. A comprehensive workplan was prepared, and a methodology for geological and engineering screening of sandstone reservoirs was developed and applied to leading candidate fields. Contacts made with field operators resulted in active participation of Mobil Exploration and Producing U.S., Inc., and Shell Western Exploration and Production Inc. Lake Creek, Seeligson, McAllen Ranch, and Stratton-Agua Dulce fields were selected for study. These fields are representative of a spectrum of depositional systems and reservoir heterogeneities in highly productive gas reservoirs in the Texas coastal plain. Producing intervals are fluvial Frio reservoirs in Seeligson and Stratton-Agua Dulce fields, deltaic Vicksburg reservoirs in McAllen Ranch field, and deltaic Wilcox reservoirs in Lake Creek field. New data, comprising cores, open- and cased-hole logs, vertical seismic profiles, and sequential formation-pressure tests, were acquired in two wells in Seeligson field and in one well in McAllen Ranch field. Results to date suggest that reservoir heterogeneity can be defined using integrated geologic, geophysical, and engineering data.

description: The Mrk 463 system is known to host two powerful sources separated by about 4 kpc, both identified as active galactic nuclei (AGN). This makes the Mrk 463 system a unique laboratory to study the geometry and dynamics of galaxy merging and its relation to AGN duty cycles. The eastern nuclei, Mrk 463E, is the brightest of the two and thus a prime target for a polarimetric study. It is classified as a Seyfert 2 galaxy, meaning that one could expect large polarization degrees from scattering off electrons and dust in the polar winds. In the continuity of our series of papers, we reduced archived and previously unpublished polarization observations obtained with the Faint Object Camera (FOC) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), to obtain a high resolution near ultraviolet (near-UV) polarization map of the Mrk 463E nuclei. We coupled this map to near infrared (NIR) and X-ray observations to get a clear picture of the geometric arrangement of matter around the core of Mrk 463E. We found that the nucleus location is further South from the optical peak flux than previously estimated. The strongly polarized conical wind has a half-opening angle of ~15° and display three main periods of mass ejection. Its polarization allowed us to estimate the AGN inclination towards the observer (~55°) Finally, our maps revealed a streamer connecting Mrk 463E and Mrk 463W, with a tentative detection of a large kpc-scale ordered magnetic field connecting both galaxies. This unpublished observation turned out to offer more than the original proposal asked for and allowed to derive tight geometric and dynamical constraints for Mrk 463E. High resolution radio maps and IR polarimetry are now necessary to further study the jet and the newly discovered streamer.

Hyaluronic acid-based bioinks for cell-friendly bioprinting

Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an intricate network of proteins, sugars, and proteoglycans that provides critical signaling context to resident cells through mechanical and bioactive properties. As such, the independent control of these features is a frequent target in the development of biomaterials. This research investigates the development of a bioink system based on thiol-modified hyaluronic acid (HA-S) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) for 3D bioprinting. The objectives of this work were to (1) develop a versatile approach to independently control the mechanical and bioadhesive features of HAS-PEGDA across multiple time scales and (2) adapt the system to be amenable to 3D extrusion bioprinting. To this end, we leveraged the distinct dual-crosslinking mechanism of HAS-PEGDA to control the mechanical properties at different time points. Rheological studies confirmed that two crosslinking reactions occur in HAS-PEGDA: (1) rapid crosslinking between HA-thiols and PEG-acrylates resulting in gelation in minutes and (2) prolonged disulfide crosslinking, which dramatically stiffens the network over a period of days-to-weeks. Like native HA, HAS-PEGDA does not support the adhesion of most healthy adult human cells, but the thiol modification provides a convenient target to introduce bioactive ligands. We demonstrated that the steady-state stiffness of the network can be manipulated independently of the initial crosslinking reaction by targeting a percentage of HA-thiols with peptide-ligands or inert spacers. Moreover, we identified ranges in which the mechanical and bioactive properties can be co-modulated in HAS-PEGDA, and we validated the biological functionality in vitro using human mesenchymal stem cells and rat dermal fibroblasts. To adapt the formulation for 3D cell culture, reaction templates were developed to prioritize bioactive peptide-grafting, initial gelation, latent crosslinking, and network degradation, across time scales of seconds, minutes-to-hours, days, and weeks, respectively. Finally, we demonstrated that the time-dependent rheological features of HAS-PEGDA can be leveraged to formulate printable bioinks for extrusion-based 3D bioprinting. By harnessing the inherent viscoelastic features of HA, we identified a window of printing conditions that resulted in excellent cell viability, mechanical recovery, resolution, and bioink tunability. Taken together, the results presented in this thesis establish a customizable bioink system based on thiol-modified hyaluronic acid for extrusion-based bioprinting.

description: In 1984, The University of Texas System funded a Bureau of Economic Geology project, "Characterization of University Lands Reservoirs," to assess in detail the potential for incremental recovery of oil from University Lands reservoirs by extended conventional methods. The objectives of the 5-year project were to quantify the volumes of unrecovered mobile oil remaining in reservoirs on University Lands, to determine whether the specific location of the unrecovered mobile oil could be delineated through integrated geoscience characterization of individual reservoirs, and to develop strategies to optimize recovery of this resource. Unrecovered mobile oil is mobile at reservoir conditions but is prevented from migrating to the wellbore by geologic complexities or heterogeneities. This final report describes results of the 5 years of research conducted on University Lands reservoirs. One hundred and one reservoirs, each of which has produced more than 1 million stock tank barrels (MMSTB) of oil, were included in a resource assessment and play analysis undertaken (1) to determine the volumes and distribution of all components of the University Lands resource base and (2) to select reservoirs for detailed analysis. These reservoirs collectively contained 7.25 billion barrels (BSTB) of oil at discovery, have produced 1.5 BSTB, and contain 200 MMSTB of reserves. Ultimate recovery at implemented technology is projected to be 24 percent of the original oil in place; thus, 5.5 BSTB of oil will remain after recovery of existing reserves. Unrecovered mobile oil (exclusive of reserves) amounts to 2.2 BSTB, and immobile, or residual, oil totals 3.3 BSTB.

description: This report summarizes research carried out by the Bureau of Economic Geology's San Andres/Grayburg Reservoir Characterization Research Laboratory (RCRL) from September 1988 through September 1990. The goal of the RCRL program was to develop advanced approaches to reservoir characterization for improved recovery of the substantial remaining mobile oil in San Andres and Grayburg reservoirs. Emphasis was placed on developing an outcrop analog for San Andres strata that could be used as (1) a guide to interpreting the regional and local geologic framework of the subsurface reservoirs and (2) a data source illustrating the scales and patterns of variability of rock-fabric facies and petrophysical properties, particularly in lateral dimensions, and on scales that cannot be studied during subsurface reservoir characterization. Areas selected for study were the San Andres exposures of the Algerita Escarpment in the northern Guadalupe Mountains and the Seminole San Andres Unit on the northern margin of the Central Basin Platform. The outcrop-analog research was emphasized because it had received little attention before this study by either industry or academe. Reports in this summary involve (1) outcrop and subsurface geological characterization of the Algerita Escarpment San Andres and the Seminole San Andres Unit (Kerans), (2) correlation of detailed outcrop mapping in order to research cored wells at Lawyer Canyon, Algerita Escarpment (Nance), (3) diagenetic/petrographic analysis of selected upper San Andres facies focusing on the origin of moldic porosity (Hovorka), (4) geologic engineering description of the upper San Andres carbonates at Lawyer Canyon and the upper producing interval at Seminole (Lucia), (5) geostatistical analysis of permeability patterns and stochastic-based finite-difference modeling of the upper San Andres parasequence window (Senger and Fogg), and (6) deterministic finite element modeling of the upper San Andres parasequence window (Kasap). Availability of basic data for these studies is summarized in the appendix.
Utilizing a Franz cell device for the electroporation of adherent cells with nanoporous alumina substrates
Creators: name: Hogquist, Stephen Joseph
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Electroporation is the technique of applying an electric field to a cell to achieve temporary membrane permeabilization and allow the passage of drugs, chemicals, or DNA through the compromised cell membrane. Electroporation technology is presently an area of research interest due to its versatility and potential benefit to various investigational therapies including vaccines and cell and gene therapies. The transfection efficiency and cell viability following electroporation experiments depend strongly on various parameters such as the applied electric field, cell type used, and the contents and electrical characteristics of the buffer solution through which a field is applied. This study aims to demonstrate a technique by which a lower voltage can be used to electroporate cells with the goal of increasing cell viability and permeabilization efficiency with plasmid DNA and propidium iodide when compared to existing techniques. This is achieved utilizing 3T3 cells attached to a biocompatible, 60µm thick nanoporous alumina membrane substrate with 100nm pores. Computational modeling predicts that applying an electric field through this nanoporous substrate in a conductive buffer solution results in electric field amplification near nanopores to achieve electroporation of cells adherent to the substrate, while maintaining a lower field strength elsewhere in the remaining area surrounding a cell. As many existing electroporation experiments work with cell suspensions in cuvettes to achieve electroporation, this technique presents a method to achieve electroporation of adherent cells. Results suggest that delivery cargo of interest can be electrophoretically driven through these nanopores and enter a cell with an electroporation pulse under select electric field conditions. Here, a technique is described to further investigate the application of nanoporous substrates in electroporation experiments. Furthermore, the impact of electric field strength amplification through alumina nanopores is demonstrated by the successful permeabilization of cell membranes with delivery markers.
Polymer-peptide conjugates as mimetics of erythropoietin and vascular endothelial growth factor
Creators: name: Mahon, Timothy
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Many cellular pathways are dependent on receptor activation by proteins which have low stability. Recombinant growth factors and cytokines used to activate these pathways are expensive to produce and rapidly denature in solution. Short peptide sequences have been developed that are able to mimic the activity of various recombinant proteins. These mimetics frequently derive from sequences present within the native protein ligand and therefore retain the ability to bind to receptors. While peptides are advantageous with regard to their stability, they typically are unable to oligomerize and effectively cluster cellular receptors resulting in a weak cellular response. To overcome this problem, we seek to develop polymer-peptide conjugates that allow for the multivalent display of peptide binding units to receptors and enhance receptor oligomerization and potentiate the cellular response. For this study, we focus on developing mimetics of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and Erythropoietin (EPO). These proteins were selected as they have well defined pathways and receptor binding as well as characterized mimetic peptides. A library of 60 polymer-peptide conjugates differing in composition and peptide valency was developed for each of the target proteins. The conjugates were screened for bioactivity, revealing several that exhibited low levels of receptor activation.
