(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Psychometricians and test developers use DIF analysis to determine if there is possible bias in a given test item. This study examines the conditions under which two predominant methods for determining differential item ...
-
(2018-11-06)Retail environments are rarely optimal for ornamental plants, and wilting caused by water stress is a major cause of postproduction shrinkage. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of reducing substrate ...
-
(2009-05-15)Multiple sequence alignment is an important bioinformatics problem, with applications in diverse types of biological analysis, such as structure prediction, phylogenetic analysis and critical sites identification. In recent ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)There are many different elements an undergraduate student needs to learn to become an engineer. These range from basic chemistry to fundamental engineering principles and process safety. But a key aspect of the education ...

(Texas A&M University, 2000)The measurement of solar radiation is crucial for the use of solar energy in fields including power generation, agriculture and meteorology. In the building sciences, It is essential for daylighting studies, energy use ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2001)A major chemical company has implemented a cost reduction and performance enhancement via universal joints on a melt pump application. The melt pump is used to push molten polyethylene through a die to produce pellets. The ...
-
(Turbomachinery Laboratory, Texas A&M University, 2010)Delayed coking is a refining process that consists of the upgrading of petroleum residues into lighter and more valuable hydrocarbon fractions by promoting thermal cracking on the residue stream. Petroleum coke is a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Turbomachinery Laboratories, 2007)A high speed (15,200 rpm) refrigeration centrifugal recycle compressor was experiencing severe reliability problems resulting in short run times between major overhauls. Typical run times were one to 12 weeks. The symptoms ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The field of microelectronics is currently in high demand considering the many applications it is used for. With this demand, several concerns are raised to improve the reliability while in use. The microelectronic device ...
-
(2017-04-28)Multirotors could be used to autonomously perform tasks in search-and-rescue, reconnaissance, or infrastructure-monitoring applications. In these environments, the vehicle may have limited or degraded GPS access. Researchers ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2000)This investigation shows that a genetic algorithm seems to be able to search a solution space more effectively with the addition of a gradient-based local improvement scheme. The objective of this research was to determine ...
-
