The effect of time-since-treatment and other factors on the perceived scenic beauty of southern pine-oak forest plots
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This study investigated the effects of silvicultural treatment, season, and time-since-treatment on the perceived scenic beauty of 20 pine-oak plots on the Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas. Treatments consisted of ...
EM algorithm estimation of TCM scheme over multipath fading
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The performance of Trellis Coded Modulation scheme via Expectation-Maximization algorithm utilizing a Kalman filter over multipath fading is presented. EM algorithm offers an easier computation than the classical ML ...
Metabolic modeling for the deposition of transuranic nuclides on bone surfaces
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The study of toxic effects of plutonium was begun by Dr. Glenn Seaborg in 1950 with a twenty year project. Although many effects of plutonium have been previously discovered during various studies, an accurate metabolic ...
An analysis of research procedures used during the restoration of the dome of the Texas State Capitol, Austin, 1989 to 1995
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
In 1995 the Texas State Capitol Preservation and Extension Project was completed. Six years earlier, the joint team of architects, 3D/International, Inc. and Ford, Powell & Carson, Inc. had faced the challenge of compiling ...
Yield learning with line width, sample size and bridge resistance variation
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Rapid failure analysis and continuous monitoring of the fabrication line are required in order to maximize the slope of the semiconductor manufacturing yield ramp. Metrology costs are the fastest rising expense occurring ...
Sexual Abstinence: the role of religion, peers and family
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Previous research on sexual behavior and attitudes has for the most part focused on behaviors among sexually active college students, to the neglect of the sexually abstinent segment of this population. This research looks ...
An object-oriented event-driven individual-based spatially-explicit simulation environment for the construction of arbitrary food webs
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Object oriented programming and event driven dynamics provide a methodology for constructing individual-based simulations with flexibility and clarity by allowing a simulation environment to closely mimic its real world ...
Multicast multilayer videoconferencing: enhancement of a multilayer codec and implementation of the receiver driven layered multicast protocol
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Videoconferencing is an important topic on the current Internet. The heterogeneity of the network, its access-to-all approach and the varying amount of available bandwidth present many challenges to researchers. Most of ...
A comparison of Texas and Iowa broodstocks for eastern wild turkey restoration in the Post Oak Savannah of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Objectives of this study were to compare mortality, reproduction, and movements of eastern wild turkeys (Meleagis gallopavo silvestris) from Iowa and Texas which were relocated into the Post Oak Savannah of Texas. To achieve ...
The geoarchaeology of Buttermilk Creek, Bell County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The geoarchaeology of low order streams in Central Texas is not well known. Central Texas is also an area of rapidly expanding commercial development. For these reasons, a geoarchaeological investigation of a first order ...
