An analysis of navigational instruments in the Age of Exploration: 15th century to mid-17th century Swanick, Lois Ann (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)During the Age of Exploration, navigation evolved from a field filled with superstition into a modern science in Portugal, Spain, and England. The most common navigation instruments utilized and their subsequent innovations ...

Vance, Amanda Kathryn Comminos (2015-02-25)The primary reason for conserving artifacts, archaeological or historical, is the preservation of information contained in those artifacts for future study. This thesis presents information on how to treat large, dry, ...
-
Arcak, Cory (2010-10-12)The primary goal of the conservator is to stabilize and conserve artifacts with the best possible treatment available. Ideally, these treatments are noninvasive and reversible, and maintain the integrity of the object as ...
-
Coke, BobbyeJo Evon (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Linoleum has been around for over a hundred years. With its invention by Frederick Walton in the 1860s a new means of durable floor covering was introduced to the world. This new invention was promoted as durable, hygienic, ...
-
Masor, Laura Lee (2012-02-14)Crop lands around the world are becoming more salt-affected due to natural processes and agricultural practices. Due to this increase of salinization, acquisition of saline tolerant germplasm for breeding purposes is ...
-
Hitzelberger, John Christian (2019-08-21)Genetic improvements of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) must be continuous if the crop is to remain biologically and economically viable. The notoriously low genetic diversity found among Upland cottons constrains ...
-
Nunneley, Jacob Lawrence (2013-04-22)With recent genetic advances in development of gossypol-free cotton varieties, there is interest in retrieving undamaged, dehulled cottonseed kernels for development of new food and feed products. Current methods used to ...
-
Longenberger, Polly Suzanne (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The key to an efficient screening method is the ability to screen large amounts of plant material in the shortest time possible. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of drought tolerance, a quick and effective screen for ...

Diallel analysis and heritability estimates of fiber traits for ELS, Gossypium hirsutum L., progeny. Berger, Gregory L. (2010-01-16)With a demand for high-quality cotton fiber in international markets, improvement of fiber quality in U.S. grown commercial cultivars is necessary. Smith, Hague, Thaxton, and Jones developed a group of experimental lines ...
-
Ragsdale, Paul Irwin (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A diallel analysis of eight upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes was conducted in the field over two years to determine the potential for improvement in within-boll seed yield components and fiber quality ...
-
Cox, Starr Nicole (2009-05-15)The object of this thesis is to discuss an experimental composite conservation process and its significance for the future of artifact conservation. Composite artifacts are artifacts comprised of multiple materials such ...
-
Longenberger, Polly Suzanne (2009-05-15)A novel bioassay for the evaluation of plant water status was developed by Burke (2007). The research reported herein was designed to evaluate this new protocol as a tool for use in cotton breeding programs for the ...
