(2014-04-23)Approximately 75% of the health care yearly budget of public health systems around the world is spent on the treatment of patients with chronic diseases. This, along with advances on the medical and technological fields ...
-
(2020-07-14)High-precision analog circuit applications require the use of high-gain amplifiers in some feedback configuration. On the other hand, the proliferation of portable and wearable electronics places great emphasis on battery ...
-
(2009-05-15)The synthesis of solid state materials has traditionally been accomplished using rigorous heating treatments at high temperatures (1,000°C) to overcome the slow rate of diffusion between two reactants. Re-grinding and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)There are growing industrial demands for low-voltage supply and low-power consumption circuits and systems. This is especially true for very high integration level and very large scale integrated (VLSI) mixed-signal chips ...
-
(2018-05-02)This thesis is a first step towards a controlled algebraic K-theory. We give explicit formulas for the proof of Fundamental Theorem of Algebraic K-Theory. As a consequence, we provide explicit estimates on the control of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Extensive development has destroyed and fragmented wildlife habitat in the Lower Florida Keys. The Lower Keys marsh rabbit (LKMR; Sylvilagus palustris hefneri) and the silver rice rat (SRR; Oryzomys argentatus) are listed ...
-
(2016-01-13)Lattice preferred orientation (LPO) in olivine-rich rocks reflects deformation conditions and kinematics in the Earth’s mantle. Harzburgites with a strong lineation and weak foliation have recently been identified in the ...
-
(2013-04-30)Bridge scour is the loss of soil by erosion due to water flowing around bridge supports. Scour has been the number one cause of bridge collapse in the United States with an average rate of 22 bridges collapsing each year. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)In this thesis, we propose a new protocol named Layered TCP with RTT Compensation (LTCP-RC, for short). LTCP-RC is a simple modification to the congestion window response of the high-speed protocol, Layered TCP (LTCP). In ...
-
(2021-01-25)This thesis examines the change in performance of a tilt pad journal bearing due to variation in lubricant flow ranging from 150% to 25% (and below) of a theoretical value. The test bearing is a four-pad, 101.6mm (4 inch) ...
-
(2015-04-30)This thesis explores the historical relationship between education and the political sphere in order to understand the current dynamic between education and democracy in the United States. The project discusses how the ...
-
(2016-05-10)Among the elements, Helium has the largest steps among its internal energy structure that can keep for long periods of time, hence the metastable helium moniker. It is referred to as a “nano-grenade” in some circles because ...
-
(2015-08-07)The co-evolution of star-formation and supermassive black hole (SMBH) accretion in galaxies is one of the key problems in galaxy formation theory. Understanding the formation of galaxies, and their subsequent evolution, ...
-
(2020-11-13)One common complaint about the United States Air Force is its overreliance on strategic bombing theory. This dissertation examines that complaint by expounding on the intellectual community within the officer corps during ...
-
(2013-11-18)Signaling pathway analysis is so important to study the causes of diseases and the treatment of drugs. Finding the lurking pathway from ligand to signature is a significant issue in studying the mechanism of how the cell ...
-
(2010-10-12)The purpose of this work is to present a methodology to predict vibrations of drilllstrings for oil recovery service. The work extends a previous model of the drill collar between two stabilizers in the literature to include ...
-
(2022-09-26)This research studies the network traffic signal control problem. It uses the Lyapunov control function to derive the back pressure method, which is equal to differential queue lengths weighted by intersection lane flows. ...
-
(2012-10-19)The lymphatic system is an extensive vascular network responsible for the transport of fluid, immune cells, proteins and lipids. It is composed of thin-walled vessels, valves, nodes and ducts, which work together to collect ...
-
(2013-03-21)Fluid drainage via the lymphatics prevents swelling due to excess fluid in interstitial space. Since interstitial fluid volume can vary dramatically, the function of lymphangions are rather dynamic so that they can contend ...
-
(2010-07-14)My dissertation research consists of two themes: (a) the analysis of Middle Jurassic - Early Cretaceous marine magnetic anomalies (M-anomalies) in order to construct a comprehensive geomagnetic polarity timescale and (b) ...
