-
(1994)Robots have contributed a great deal to manufacturing industry, increasing both productivity and quality. However, they often achieve accuracy for quality by adding mass to their links, increasing weight and power required ...
-
(1982)DARTLS, a system for automatic programming of protection relay trip logic and sequencing, is being developed at Texas A&M University. This system employs interactive computer graphics and user-friendly software to enable ...
-
(1976)The purpose of this paper is to examine those cul-de-sac images in Dostoevsky's major novels in which the villains--principally Svidrigailov in Crime and Punishment, Stavrogin in The Possessed, and Smerdyakov in The Brothers ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)This paper examines perspectives of four different leaders during the American Civil Rights era and discusses how the men employing each perspective defined and encountered the Other. One can define "the Other" as any ...
-
(1984)Critical energy release rates have been determined for two composite systems. The effect of resin thickness on fracture toughness in brittle fiber - ductile resin systems has been investigated. Material resin content has ...
-
(1977)Tilapia are currently being evaluated as a potential aquaculture organism. Tilapia culture is restricted by the organism's limited low temperature tolerance and its tendency toward overpopulation resulting in a reduction ...
-
(1998)Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant which has been linked to neurobehavioral deficits, primarily in young children. A current hypothesis for Pb distribution among brain cells is that astroglia, which are ...
-
(1991)Effects of schema and level of processing on women's impressions of men's attractiveness were examined. Photographs of highly attractive men were paired with negative, neutral, or positive schemas, and 105 undergraduate ...
-
(1995)It may be surprising to some that after millions of innocent victims died at the merciless hands of the Nazis, many war criminals were never brought to justice at the conclusion of World War II. Somehow Nazi war criminals ...
-
The design and enhancement of a testbed for the remote system monitoring interface device technology (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Texas A&M University is developing an information technology-based system that is able to continuously monitor and diagnose faults of electrical motors, based solely on electrical signals available at the motor terminals, ...
-
(1998)Nuclear import of proteins is a carefully controlled process that is critical for cellular function and regulation. A protein is marked for nuclear entry by a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a peptide motif, which ...
-
(1979)The occurrece of rising thresholds and exit block in artificial cardiac pacemaker therapy are thought to be due to fibrous tissue encapsulation of the implanted electrode. A vapor-deposited carbon-coated titanium electrode ...
-
(1986)A need has surfaced to replace the existing hard wired controller of the environmental chamber used in the 'Peanut Project'. This controller has proven itself to be prone to malfunctions, breakdowns and inflexibilty. It ...
-
(2012-04-24)This thesis outlines the design of a real-time digital signal processing technique for pitch detection and analysis via spectral analysis. A sound’s musical pitch can be determined from its fundamental frequency, and a ...
-
(1985)There is an increasing need for much more effective water management than what has been applied in the past. The need for flow measurement accuracy has become of utmost importance because of lowering water tables from ...
-
(1986)In present day American industry the majority of robotic systems being implemented are servo robots. Non-Servo or Pick-N-Place robots have many qualities suitable for industry, however, are usually considered not flexible ...
-
(2011-08-08)Research is needed on desistance from crime using samples of males and females. Through the use of three waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data which represents a diverse and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Whenever digital designs are created, they may contain many logic redundancies. Minimization tools are then used to remove these redundancies. The minimized circuit should be smaller, faster, and cheaper while still ...
-
(1980)A micro Ouchterlony gel diffusion test was adapted for detecting auto-immune thyroiditis. The Ouchterlony test was standardized by testing crude thyroid extract against antiserum from an immunized rabbit. The rabbit was ...
-
(2006-08-16)This is the first step in a series of studies to test the feasibility of using Raman Spectroscopy (RS) to non-invasively detect physiologically relevant blood alcohol concentrations. Blood tests, urine tests, and the ...
