(1984)Deflection is often the dominant design criterion of a flexural member. The theoretical methods commonly used to determine beam deflections become extremely complex for irregular and combined loading conditions. A finite ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Electronic components produce heat that hinders their performance and reliability. Heat pipes, two-phase heat transfer devices, may be used to effectively cool electronic components. This project focuses on two different ...
-
(1990)The objective of this research is to investigate the application of Artificial Neural Network techniques to the area of computer-aided design of electronic circuits. A major problem in this area is the analysis (especially ...
-

(1978)Most of the games studied by Artificial Intelligence researchers are games of perfect information. In this research, however, the author studies a game of imperfect information. This is because often in real life, decisions ...
-
(1996)The adaptive nature of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) makes them a powerful tool for modeling complex processes. ANNs are inherently nonlinear and process signals in a parallel manner. These qualities make them suitable ...
-
(1980)Individual specimens of Quercus shummardii Buckl., Quercus virginiana Mill., and X Quercus comptonae Sar. (Ness hybrid oak) were selected for three propagation experiments. Stem tip cuttings, root cuttings and excised shoot ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)An important unsolved problem in the field of biochemistry is the protein folding problem. Extensive research is being done to predict the structure and function of a protein given just its linear sequence of amino acids. ...
-
(1991)Religion in past research has been found to be a significant predictor of quality of life, but previous measures used do not appear to explore the fullness of either factors of life. Two hundred and twenty two undergraduate ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The purpose of this study was to identify several leadership behaviors that were deemed as being essential elements of a successful leader and then determine if these behaviors could be taught to AGED 340, Professional ...
