(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2010)Accurate prediction of the performance of Solar Air Windows (SAWs) operating in various climates under real conditions has not been investigated. This paper reports the results of numerical simulations of SAWs carried out ...

(2018-05-03)Air conditioning and refrigeration systems for cooling and dehumidification are some of the largest consumers of energy with most of the systems using electricity or fossil fuels to operate. Additionally, refrigeration ...
-
(2013-03-25)The purpose of this study was to determine if a buffered creatine monohydrate (KA) that has been purported to promote greater creatine retention and training adaptations with fewer side effects at lower doses is more ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In this work we have made use of a geometric approach which quantifies robustness and performance and we finally combine them using a cost function. In particular, we calculate the robustness of the estimate of ...
-
(2014-05-08)The message layer is a critical part of a network protocol stack. The quality of the protocol implementation is closely tied to that of the message layer. The responsibilities of the message layer include conversion between ...
-
(2011-10-21)All animals, including insect herbivores, eat to acquire nutrients that are essential for fueling physiological processes associated with growth, development, and reproduction. Protein and digestible carbohydrates are ...
-
(2015-08-31)In most organizations, employee performance is evaluated annually by their supervisors and these evaluations lead to important individual and organizational outcomes. Research has shown that properties of the performance ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)An established message reported by behavioral scientists, who have conducted industrial research, is that performance can be enhanced through the use of goal setting. Locke, Shaw, Saari, and Latham (1981) reported, "The ...

The effects of team diversity on a team process and team performance in the National Hockey League (2009-05-15)The purpose of this research was to build upon, and extend, the sport diversity research. Specifically, Study 1 adopted a compositional approach to examine the effects of ethnicity, age, and team tenure on a team process ...
-
(2015-05-08)As process technology shrinks, the transistor count on CPUs has increased. The breakdown of Dennard scaling has led to diminishing returns in terms of performance per power. A trend which promises to impact future CPU ...
-
(2022-04-27)Thirty mature geldings (mean ± SD; 14.83 ± 2.61 yr; 556 ± 62.77 kg BW) were used in a randomized complete design for a 28 d trial to determine the influence of CBD oil supplementation on the health of mature horses by ...
-
(2018-12-03)Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of chromium propionate (CP) and butyric acid-zinc complex (BAZ) on broiler performance and processing yields. Experiment 1 evaluated CP inclusion on broiler growth ...
-
(2016-12-06)Two studies were performed to evaluate the efficacy of supplementing exogenous enzyme combinations on broiler growth performance in reduced nutrient density corn-soybean meal diets. In experiment 1, 3,200 Cobb 500 broilers ...
-
(2019-06-18)The objective of this research was to evaluate improvements in bird performance parameters using various levels of hydroxychloride minerals in broiler and laying hen chickens. Experiment 1 consisted of 2 broiler trials. ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu), 2008-10)A fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) algorithm was developed for an AHU reverse-return system for air cooling. These FDD rules were generated using simulation in three steps. Cause-effect rules were established by connecting ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)The purpose of this study is to present a computer program, named FEPASS, to predict the performance of asphaltic concrete pavements. Methods have been developed that predict the rutting, the fatigue cracking, and the slope ...
-
(2016-04-28)Genderfuck is a performative gender critique. It is sometimes playful, sometimes serious, and always political. Genderfuck empowers artists to critique binaried gender through performance. Using four case studies, I suggest ...
-
(2016-05-03)This study examines the feminism of Viola Spolin, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, and Amy Schumer, all of whom, in some capacity, are involved in the contemporary practice and performance of feminist comedy. Using various feminist ...
