(2016-12-08)This research study was conducted as a qualitative case study of four successful science teachers of female students in a diverse, title 1, urban, public girls’ school. The study was designed to hear the ‘muted’ voices of ...
-
(2019-10-23)Insect succession on carrion is highly variable and can be affected by a multitude of biotic and abiotic factors, including, but not limited to, temperature, carcass type, species interactions, genetics, and scavenging. ...
-
(2011-07-29)The pricing of total liquidity risk is studied in the cross-section of stock returns. The study suggests that there is a positive relation between total volatility of liquidity and expected returns. Our measure of liquidity ...
-
(2012-09-10)Process variations and circuit aging continue to be main challenges to the power-efficiency of VLSI circuits, as considerable power budget must be allocated at design time to mitigate timing variations. Modern designs ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Quiescent current leakage test of the VDD supply (IDDQ Test) has been proven an effective way to screen out defective chips in manufacturing of Integrated Circuits (IC). As technology advances, the traditional IDDQ test ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)This thesis presents an expressive (non-photorealistic) rendering approach created by combining volumetric rendering techniques with the Line Integral Convolution (LIC) in 3D space. Although some techniques that combine ...
-
(2010-01-16)To prove that a polynomial is nonnegative on Rn, one can try to show that it is a sum of squares of polynomials (SOS). The latter problem is now known to be reducible to a semi-definite programming (SDP) computation that ...
-
(2014-08-10)Seismic attribute analysis in recent decades has been an instrumental tool in improving the quality of reservoir characterization for hydrocarbon identification. Coherency and curvature are geometric seismic attributes ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This dissertation presents a robust method of modeling objects and forces for computer animation. Within this method objects and forces are represented as particles. As in most modeling systems, the movement of objects is ...
-
(2018-05-16)This dissertation mainly focuses on the topics of phased array, volumetric array, random array, circular polarization, beamforming, beamshaping, mobile platform, and all these combinations. The ultimate goal was to realize ...
-
(2012-02-14)Voluntary associations representing numerous types of recreation users and environmental issues have flourished across the landscape in America. However, the literature has not sufficiently studied these associations and ...
-
(2016-05-04)Agricultural activities account for nearly a quarter of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions mainly from deforestation and livestock, soil and nutrient management. Also it is the biggest emitter of non-carbon dioxide ...
-
(2013-04-26)This thesis investigates volunteering as performance. In exploring this topic I discuss a dynamic between self-interest and selflessness in the observable performance of service through the social mechanisms of volunteerism. ...
-
(2017-03-27)The past quarter-century’s fiscal constraints have led natural resource management agencies (e.g., U.S. Forest Service, and Bureau of Land Management) to be increasingly dependent upon volunteer work as a critical resource. ...
-
(2022-04-13)The vortex dynamics in cardiovascular flows play an important role in imposing flow features and forces acting on blood cells. Proper modeling and analysis of vortex dynamics in cardiovascular flows can shed light on the ...
-
(2021-01-25)The conditions that lead to the depinning and runback of wind-forced liquid drops is an important problem in fluid mechanics that relates to aircraft ice accumulation and other situations. Multiple studies have examined ...
-
(2011-08-08)This study documents and accounts for maintenance and change in dialectal features of Salvadoran Spanish in the United States, especially voseo, as opposed to tuteo, terms signifying the use of the second person singular ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Investigations of specific and nonspecific interactions of biomolecules at liquid/solid interfaces are presented. To investigate specific multivalent ligand-receptor interactions, bivalent antibodies and haptens bound to ...
-
(2023-04-28)A modified Monte-Carlo-based multi-path method was developed to assess the probability of interruption (PI) offered by a physical protection system (PPS) at a nuclear facility against an adversary attacking the facility. ...
-
(2009-05-15)Water supply systems’ vulnerability towards physical, chemical, biological, and cyber threats was recognized and was under study long before September 11, 2001. But greater attention toward security measures for water ...
