Determination of drought probabilities in Texas and a comparison to agricultural impacts: a decile climatology
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
There are a variety of drought indicators used to monitor drought conditions across the United States as well as in other countries. Some of these indicators often transform data sets to approximate known distributions in ...
An analysis of radar estimated precipitation to rain gauge measurements
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
An analysis was performed between a WSR-88D's precipitation estimation capability and a rain gauge network. The WSR-88D is located in League City, TX, and the rain gauge network is in Harris County, TX. Relevant data were ...
Structural restoration of Louann Salt and overlying sediments, De Soto Canyon Salt Basin, northeastern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The continental margin of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico is suited for seismic stratigraphic analysis and salt tectonism analysis. Jurassic strata include the Louann Salt on the continental shelf and upper slope of the ...
Temporal and spatial variation of particulate matter and chlorophyll in the Arabian Sea
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The Arabian Sea is of special interest because of reversals in the extreme atmospheric forcing that lead to the greatest seasonal variability among the world's oceans. An intensive series of cruises was conducted in the ...
Modeling fatique behavior of dents in petroleum pipelines
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Dents in pipelines can seriously reduce the design life of a pipeline. Dents cause stress concentrations to develop which make dents susceptible to fatigue failures. Acceptance criteria of dents are currently only based ...
Combined performance of coding and equalization for data transmitted over a fading channel
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The problem of data loss on a RF channel has been approached from various perspectives. This research employs Reed Solomon (RS) encodina to combat burst noise and Bilnd Equalization to overcome Inter S Symbol Interference ...
Evaluation of the filler effects on fatique cracking and permanent deformation of asphalt concrete mixtures
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The addition of hydrated lime to asphalt has shown to be beneficial with an improvement in the Theological properties of the binder, as well as resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) and fatigue cracking of asphalt ...
Unnatural nucleotides for DNA sequencing
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Fluorescent nucleotide analogs were prepared and tested to find surrogate structures that are: (i) incorporated by DNA polymerases; (ii) spectroscopically distinct for each fluorescent tag; and (iii) easily deprotected at ...
Biodegradation of octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Since World War II, octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) has been one of the most widely used explosives. Consequently, many munitions facilities and other related sites have been contaminated with HMX ...
Wheat quality evaluation methods to predict wheat flour tortilla production
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Commercial wheat flours from Canada, Mexico, and USA were evaluated to determine their processing ability for tortillas. All 64 flours were evaluated by sedimentation, moisture, protein, pH, and color. Doughs were evaluated ...
