(2011-02-22)The United States contains an estimated 100,000 miles (160000 km) of levees in which erosion related issues are the top priorities. Proper documentation of overtopping induced erosion is a complicated issue involving the ...
-
(2020-07-21)This project targets design of a Delta Sigma ADC with a signal bandwidth of 200MHz and an SNR of 74 dB. Reducing the power consumption in the ADC is one of the top priorities during the design phase. To achieve this, in ...
-
(2013-04-25)While the Bay Area’s history has shaped today’s culture, there is little written about how corporations affect their immediate communities. This thesis focuses on the largest corporations in the Bay Area to determine if ...
-
(2020-07-14)Determining appropriate theory to analyze how the aging process impacts prison management has proven difficult. Since there is little extant theory that can posit factors and trends leading to an aging inmate population ...
-
(2022-07-22)#BlackLivesMatter protests exemplify the militarization of policing and the antagonistic relationship between police departments and the communities they are meant to serve. This study bridges systemic racism literature, ...
-
(2017-07-28)Understanding the development of localization effects, such as shear and compaction bands, observed in sand specimens under compression, has been of research interest to understand elemental soil failure mechanisms. Various ...

The 3 × 2 Achievement Goal Model and Motivational Regulations in College Physical Activity Classes (2019-01-11)Achievement goal research in physical activity (PA) classes is primarily guided by the dichotomous, trichotomous, and 2 × 2 achievement goal models. However, the utility of the latest 3 × 2 achievement goal model has not ...
-
(2012-02-14)The summing amplifier and the quantizer form two of the most critical blocks in a continuous time delta sigma (CT ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Most of the conventional CT ΔΣ ADC designs incorporate a voltage ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)A three dimensional (3-D) capacitance extraction algorithm based on a kernel independent hierarchical method and geometric moments is described. Several techniques are incorporated, which leads to a better overall performance ...
-
(2010-01-14)Pointe du Hoc overlooking the English Channel in Normandy, France was host to one of the most important military engagements of World War II. While the site is a valuable historic cultural resource, it is vulnerable to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In the northern Gulf of Mexico, seafloor hydrocarbon fluid and gas seepage is an ubiquitous process on the continental margin. Although seafloor seepage and seep-related features (mud volcanoes, carbonate formation) have ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In this study, the structure, depositional system, and the seismic stratigraphy of the VLE 196 area, Block V in Lamar Field were interpreted using 3-D seismic data and well logs to characterize structural and depositional ...
-
(2010-07-14)Recently, there is growing interest in high speed circuits for broadband communication, especially in wired networks. As the data rate increases beyond 1 GB/s conventional materials used as communication channels such as ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)A hull-mounted 38-kHz phased-array acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was used to acoustically survey the continental margin of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) during 6 cruises in 2002-2003. This is the first ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The complex interrelations among the different physical processes involved in acid fracturing make it difficult to design, and later, to predict the outcome of stimulation jobs. Actual tendencies require the use of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The purpose of this project is to develop a software framework, a 3D engine, which will generate images to be projected onto facets of a spatially immersive display (SID). The goal is to develop a software library to support ...
-
(2009-05-15)In this dissertation, we focus on two related parts of a 3D face recognition system with wireless transportation. In the first part, the core components of the system, namely, the feature extraction and classification ...
-
(2013-05-28)Realistic facial animation remains one of the most challenging problems in computer graphics, where facial performance capture of real people has been a key component. The current state-of-the-art technologies used to ...
