The effect of the properties of thin layers on amplitude variation with offset (AVO)
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The effect of the properties of thin layers on the AVO response was studied in this thesis. For this purpose, two types of geological models were constructed: a single interface model and a single-thin-layer model. The ...
Methodologies for statistical behavioral modeling and simulation of complex analog integrated circuits
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The objective of this thesis is to develop efficient methodologies for statistical behavioral modeling of analog integrated circuits and apply them to practical problems. Through appropriate statistical modeling, the ...
Combinational logic optimization for low power using implication-based transformations
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The demand for portable equipment has increased the emphasis on low-power designs. Higher power consumption results in shorter battery-lifetime of portable electronic devices. As a result larger batteries are required for ...
In-place engineering properties of recycled and stabilized pavement layers
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
1.0INTRODUCTION Now that most of the new road construction in the United States is complete, the major emphasis has switched to maintaining those roads. The focus of many of Texas districts in the Texas Department of ...
Experimental and simulation studies of zone isolation in horizontal wells
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A new straddle wellbore plug system for zone isolation has been proposed. The technique consists of four sequential stages: (i) setting a chemical wellbore plug in the horizontal section upstream of the problem zone, (ii) ...
A customized implementation of the FAO land evaluation framework using GIS: the Avenue approach
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The concepts, the procedures and the methods of land evaluation proposed by the FAO framework were introduced. The relationships between two types of data models and land evaluation were discussed. The vector data model ...
Personality characteristics influencing archetypal dream recall in vivid dream types
(1997)
This study examined the overlap and differences among three classes of vivid dreams: nightmares, lucid dreams, and archetypal dreams, with special emphasis on archetypal dreams. Archetypal dreams, the least studied class ...
Digital imaging tracing technology for print media
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis examines and analyzes the existing state of digital technology use in print media and the attitudes of those using the technology to develop a technology that would help prevent the unethical manipulation of ...
Moral conflict and toleration: the problem of evil in politics
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Toleration while a useful and necessary tool can not be itself a public good. Firstly, I examine the implications of Augustine's conceptualization of good and evil finding that if one accepts the logic of his argument, ...
