Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling Encompassing The Stability Of A Vertical Gas Well Subjected To Longwall Mining Operation - A Case Study, Bonaventura Alves Mangu Bali Jan 2018

Three-Dimensional Numerical Modeling Encompassing The Stability Of A Vertical Gas Well Subjected To Longwall Mining Operation - A Case Study, Bonaventura Alves Mangu Bali

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Longwall mining has been one of the prominent underground mining methods for extracting coal in the United States for many years due to its production efficiency. However, the method itself can possibly cause problems to surface structures, i.e. gas wells, buildings, roads, etc., that are built or located nearby mining operations. In recent years, significant gas resources have been identified to be located underlying coal deposits, particularly in Southwestern Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. As a result, within the time frame of the last 10 years, more than 800 gas well have been drilled through active and future underground longwall …


Wetland Characteristics And Wintering Passerellidae Occupancy On Agricultural Conservation Easement Program Wetlands In West Virginia, Katharine Lewis Jan 2018

Wetland Characteristics And Wintering Passerellidae Occupancy On Agricultural Conservation Easement Program Wetlands In West Virginia, Katharine Lewis

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Wetland ecosystems are unique, important sources of numerous services such as wildlife habitat. Their widespread loss due to drainage and development in North America has promoted the creation of many programs and policies to try to reverse the damage done. One such program is the Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP). ACEP is administered through the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) and provides landowners with technical and financial assistance to restore wetlands on private agricultural land. One of the primary objectives of ACEP is to provide wildlife habitat while restoring wetlands in agricultural areas. It is important to monitor conservation practices …


Group Connectivity And Modulo Orientations Of Graphs, Jiaao Li Jan 2018

Group Connectivity And Modulo Orientations Of Graphs, Jiaao Li

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

This dissertation focuses on the subject of nowhere-zero flow problems on graphs. Tutte's 5-Flow Conjecture (1954) states that every bridgeless graph admits a nowhere-zero 5-flow, and Tutte's 3-Flow Conjecture (1972) states that every 4-edge-connected graph admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow. Jaeger et al. (1992) further conjectured that every 5-edge-connected graph is Z3-connected, whose truth implies the 3-Flow Conjecture. Extending Tutte's flows conjectures, Jaeger's Circular Flow Conjecture (1981) says every 4p-edge-connected graph admits a modulo (2 p + 1)-orientation, that is, an orientation such that the indegree is congruent to outdegree modulo p + 1 at every vertex. Note that the p …


Enhancing Online Security With Image-Based Captchas, Brian M. Powell Jan 2018

Enhancing Online Security With Image-Based Captchas, Brian M. Powell

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Given the data loss, productivity, and financial risks posed by security breaches, there is a great need to protect online systems from automated attacks. Completely Automated Public Turing Tests to Tell Computers and Humans Apart, known as CAPTCHAs, are commonly used as one layer in providing online security. These tests are intended to be easily solvable by legitimate human users while being challenging for automated attackers to successfully complete. Traditionally, CAPTCHAs have asked users to perform tasks based on text recognition or categorization of discrete images to prove whether or not they are legitimate human users. Over time, the efficacy …


The Semantics Of Spanish Compounding: An Analysis Of Nn Compounds In The Parallel Architecture, Luis Miguel Toquero Perez Jan 2018

The Semantics Of Spanish Compounding: An Analysis Of Nn Compounds In The Parallel Architecture, Luis Miguel Toquero Perez

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Noun-Noun compounds (NN) are a concatenation of two nouns that function as a single unit both morphosyntactically and semantically. One of the main challenges that a study of NN compounding faces is their semantics, and more precisely, identifying the implied semantic relations that hold between the two elements. One of the most recent frameworks that has been proposed to account for the semantic relations between the modifier and head in NN compounds is Jackendoff's (2009, 2016) basic functions model within the Parallel Architecture framework. In this model, a semantic relation between the head and modifier is established by using an …
