(2015-05-04)In 2010, the discovery of a wreck identified as HMS Solebay off Nevis’ southwest seacoast prompted an investigation by a graduate student from Texas A&M University and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology, in collaboration ...
-
(2017-04-10)In this thesis, I shall present an integrated approach to control and sensing design. The framework assumes sensor noise as a design variable along with the controller and determines l1 regularized optimal sensing precision. ...
-
(2019-07-03)The mitigation of NOx pollutants continues to be a matter of environmental and economic interest in the gas-turbine industry, and an improved understanding of fundamental NOx chemical kinetics has led to reductions in NOx ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Habitat associations of sea otters during resting and feeding were investigated in Simpson Bay, Prince William Sound, Alaska during the summer months of 2001-2003. Sea otter locations collected during boat surveys were ...
-
(2009-05-15)Several species of small, cavity-nesting owls occur in the Sierra Nevada, including in areas impacted by human activities. The owls typically use standing dead trees (snags) for nest sites. Although descriptive studies ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2002)As part of an instream flow study, information on summer distribution of fishes and habitat variables was collected from six sites at each of three flows in the Sulphur River, Texas. I evaluated (1) spatiotemporal ...

(Texas A&M University, 2001)In recent decades, the United States has experienced rapid growth and development that has threatened biodiversity and species habitat. In response to this and other environmental concerns of the 1970s, the United States ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)Chironomid larvae were collected from streams in the Big Thicket area of East Texas from November, 1981 to October, 1982. Primary stations were sampled monthly and secondary stations were sampled bi-annually. Samples of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Over the past 100–150 years Texas rangelands have dramatically changed from native open savannahs to dense woodlands. On the Edwards plateau, a major management concern is the increasing encroachment of Ashe juniper ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This study investigated the use of high resolution satellite imagery in research involving habitat selection, and movement patterns of white-tailed deer and cattle in a semi-arid landscape. Vegetation classification was ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Breeding chronology and habitat selection by mottled ducks (Anas f. fulvigula) were studied at San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR), TX, 1985-87. The Habitat Suitability Index (HST) model for the mottled duck also ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Microhabitat selection, physiology, and body size all at-fed thermal biology of ectotherms. In this study, I determined the influence of these variables on the thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, Macroclemys ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)In this study, I (1) describe habitat features important to Wood Thrushes (Hylocichla mustelina) nesting in eastern Texas, and (2) describe the effects of different edge habitats on their reproductive success. I conducted ...
