"A human being is not a suit or a shoe!": the construction and performance of identity in personal narrative
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Much of social science research and interpretation is undertaken with the aim of objectivity in order to posit hypotheses and make predictions about human behavior. In contrast, this thesis provides an in-depth, contextualized ...
Development and evaluation of an implantable chronic DC stimulation and measurement probe for nerve regeneration studies
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The beneficial effects of chronic DC electrical stimulation upon peripheral nervous system (PNS) regeneration of injured nerve has been adequately confirmed, yet few attempts have been made to quantify the relevant stimulus ...
A classification of Texas thunderstorms according to their cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics during spring 1993
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The National Lightning Detection Network detected more than 800 000 cloud-to-ground lightning flashes from 119 storm systems which affected Texas during April-June 1993. This study attempted to characterize these flashes ...
Correlation of recorded injury and illness data with lifestyle/non-occupational risk factors (smoking and exercise) and absolute aerobic capacity
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This study investigated the correlation between reported injury and illness occurrence, absolute aerobic capacity, and lifestyle/non-occupational risk factors in a sample of 212 young male manual material handlers. The ...
Application of geostatistical reservoir description for maximizing waterflood infill drilling recovery from La Cira Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
One of the prospective ways to increase the oil production is to maximize the oil recovery from mature oil fields. In this study we apply an integrated approach that combines geostatistical reservoir description and reservoir ...
Paraffin deposition in offshore oil production
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The extreme environmental conditions typically encountered in offshore oil operations lead to a number of problems. Cool deep sea temperatures promote particle formation and deposition of paraffinic compounds. These solids ...
Visualizing Music
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A process of experientially deriving visual information from music is described. The author describes her methodology behind the translation of a music composition to a computer animation. The methodology described could ...
Cold tolerance and thermal acclimation of juvenile blue tilapia, Tilapia aurea
(1995)
Cold resistance of blue tilapia (Tilapia aurea) was measured as the first step in development of a simulation model to predict acclimation state and mortality of tilapia exposed to varying low temperature. The model is ...
Securities underwriting by commercial banks : an analysis of Section 20 subsidiaries
(1995)
This study examines the wealth and risk changes of commercial banks following regulatory changes related to securities underwriting. Commercials banks were allowed to underwrite securities to a limited extent by a Federal ...
Bovine bacterial artificial chromosomes as tools for genetic and physical mapping
(1995)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library has been constructed for use in bovine genome mapping using the pBeloBAC II vector. Currently, the library consists of 23,040 clones which achieves a 70% probability (P=0.70) ...
