A tribological and biomimetic study of potential bone joint repair materials
(2009-05-15)
This research investigates materials for bone-joint failure repair using tribological and biomimicking approaches. The materials investigated represent three different repairing strategies. Refractory metals with and without ...
Characterization of the electron beam cure process of an epoxy-initiator system
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
For over forty years high energy electrons have been used to change polymer structure and properties. In this thesis we study the potential use of a high energy electron beam (e-beam) to replace the thermal curing method ...
Semi-analytical estimates of permeability obtained from capillary pressure
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The objective of this research is to develop and test a new concept for predicting permeability from routine
rock properties. First, we develop a model predicting permeability as a function of capillary pressure. Our
model, ...
Ethnopalynological applications in land and water based archaeology
(2009-05-15)
Ethnopalynology is a specialty within palynology that centers specifically on past
and present palynological data related to humans. Palynological data may be a
significant tool to archaeologists if the applications and ...
Nova Virgem : the story of a nineteenth-century Brazilian slave smuggler
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
With the close of the legal transatlantic slave trade in 1807 agricultural markets of the New World were reluctant to relinquish their dependence on free labor from Africa. British insistence on the opposite eventually ...
Standardization of Spanish Shipbuilding: Ordenanzas para la Fabrica de Navios de Guerra y Mercante - 1607,1613,1618
(2009-05-15)
During the first two decades of the 17th century King Philip III (1598-1621) of
Spain and Portugal launched an effort to standardize all shipbuilding in the Iberian

Instrucción Náutica (1587) by Diego García de Palacio: an early NAUTICAL handbook from Mexico.
(2009-05-15)
In 1587, an ambitious colonial bureaucrat in Mexico City published a handbook
titled Instrucción náutica. Although navigational books were common throughout the
16th century, the Instrucción náutica was the first printed ...
The Athlit Ram: Classical and Hellenistic bronze casting technology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In 1980 a warship ram of bronze was discovered at Athlit Bay, south of Haifa, Israel. The subsequent study of the ram added significantly to the knowledge concerning Classical and Hellenistic large-scale bronzes. The ...
Design and history matching of a waterflood/miscible CO₂ flood model of a mature field: the Wellman Unit, West Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Wellman Unit is located in Terry County, West Texas. It is a Wolfcamp massive limestone reef. The reservoir is considered geologically unique due to the double cone-shape structure with a maximum closure of 825 feet ...
An evaluation of membrane materials for the treatment of highly concentrated suspended salt solutions in reverse osmosis and nanofiltration processes for desalination
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a study to enhance and improve a zero liquid discharge
(ZLD) reverse osmosis process that uses seed crystals to promote crystallization of the
dissolved salts in the residual brine while it is being ...
