Boussinesq-equation and rans hybrid wave model
(2009-05-15)This dissertation presents the development of a novel hybrid wave model, comprised of the irrotational, 1-D horizontal Boussinesq and 2-D vertical turbulence-closed Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) wave models. The ... -
Design of a Control Strategy for a Fuel Cell/Battery Hybrid Power Supply
(2010-01-14)The purpose of this thesis is to design hardware and a control strategy for a fuel cell/battery hybrid power supply. Modern fuel cell/battery hybrid power supplies can have 2 DC/DC converters: one converter for the battery ... -
Detection of bacterial endospores by means of ultrafast coherent raman spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This work is devoted to formulation and development of a laser spectroscopic technique for rapid detection of biohazards, such as Bacillus anthracis spores. Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) is used as an ... -
Experimental analysis of the extension to shear fracture transition in Berea Sandstone
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)To characterize low-pressure, brittle deformation in porous, granular rock, notchcut cylinders (30 mm neck diameter) of Berea Sandstone were extended in a triaxial apparatus from 10 to 160 MPa confining pressure at strain ... -
Improved Connectivity using Hybrid Uni/Omni-Directional Antennas in Sensor Networks
(2008-05-27)Connectivity in sensor networks is an important metric that describes the capability of networks to be able to report sensed information. The ability of member nodes to communicate with each other and collectively report ... -
Kinetics and dynamics study on the allosteric pathway of phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli (EcPFK) is allosterically regulated by MgADP and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which act to activate or inhibit, respectively, by changing the substrate (Fru-6-P) affinity of the ... -
The Limits of Fire Support: American Finances and Firepower Restraint during the Vietnam War
(2013-07-12)Excessive unobserved firepower expenditures by Allied forces during the Vietnam War defied the traditional counterinsurgency principle that population protection should be valued more than destruction of the enemy. Many ...
