(Texas A&M University, 2002)When studying air quality it is often necessary to measure the aerodynamic size distribution of particles. True aerodynamic diameter must be measured using a gravitational settling method, which is impractical. Other methods ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)A covered infrared burner was designed and constructed so that it could be compared to an open-flame burner. Two covered burners, a high configuration and a low configuration, were constructed. A low configuration covered ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)This research focuses on the design and development of a control system for hypobaric plant growth chambers. The chambers will be used to determine the effects of reduced pressure on plant processes and growth. There are ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)This system was developed to measure the effects of low-atmospheric pressure on the growth and function of plants for applications in Advanced Life Support systems research. The system is composed of six independent growth ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)A burner was designed and constructed to combine weed control practices of parallel and cross-flaming with the technology of covers and insulation. It involved two covers designed to be placed on the sides of a crop row. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is a significant part of the dissolved oxygen budget in waterways, comprising up to 50% in some systems. It, therefore, has the potential of having a significant impact on the environment. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)The viability of pathogenic organisms on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables can be significantly reduced by low energy electron beam irradiation. The most difficult technical challenge for surface irradiation of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2003)The feasibility of using a commercial, portable electronic nose to detect off-flavor in peanuts was evaluated in two phases. In phase one, the sensitivity of the electronic nose to headspace humidity was tested by exposing ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)Fissure resistance was related to the moisture transport properties of Cypress, Lemont, LaGrue, and Teqing rice varieties. The moisture transport properties, moisture diffusivity and resistance, were calculated using a ...
