(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The purpose of this project was to perform micro-simulation analyses on intersections near Highway-Railroad Grade Crossings to determine if controlling mean train speed and train speed variability would improve safety and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The goal of PERL MRI in its most basic form is single shot imaging without the need to rapidly switch gradients to encode spatial information into the signal. PERL MRI incorporates the application of the PERL field into ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Nonlinearities in a system are often thought of as unimportant and negligible. It is only recently that many of the impacts of nonlinearities in a system are being fully realized. One of these impacts is chaos. Chaos ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The MixAlco process, developed by Dr. Mark T. Holtzapple, uses anaerobic fermentation to convert waste biomass into carboxylate salts which can then be manipulated into carboxylic acids, ketones and alcohols. This project ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)This research is a study of the Roman theater and its evolution from the Greek theater. By defining the Roman theater through its three parts, the orchestra, stage, and auditorium, important design elements and criterion ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Magnetic Resonance (MR) techniques provide valuable information for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and study of many diseases. However, limitations on the sensitivity and specificity warrant the development of new ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Insuring structural integrity demands an ever-increasing understanding of material behavior. While engineers have long agreed on methods for measuring the strength or elasticity of a material, such a consensus has yet to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The skeleton functions as a vital part of our everyday existence and acts as a framework for the body to provide movement, resist the forces of gravity, and protect vital organs. Skeletal research studies the effect of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The use of stress waves in several civil engineering applications such as nondestructive testing of soil deposits or pavement systems has become extremely popular over the last few years. In all cases, a dynamic impulse ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The light propagation in highly scattering turbid media composed of the particles with different size distribution is studied using a Monte Carlo simulation model implemented in Standard C. Monte Carlo method has been ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The proper sizing of safety relief valves is an important issue in chemical process safety. Many emergency relief scenarios require consideration of two-phase flow conditions. However, two-phase flow involves complex ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Chaos is a new term coined to describe the ordered randomness that appears in many deterministic nonlinear dynamic systems. Although chaos has some desirable features, it is usually advantageous to control and eliminate ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)After an integrated circuit is manufactured, it must be tested to insure that it is not defective. Specifically, timing defects are becoming increasingly important to detect because of the decreasing process geometries ...
