In-place engineering properties of recycled and stabilized pavement layers
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
1.0INTRODUCTION Now that most of the new road construction in the United States is complete, the major emphasis has switched to maintaining those roads. The focus of many of Texas districts in the Texas Department of ...
Experimental and simulation studies of zone isolation in horizontal wells
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A new straddle wellbore plug system for zone isolation has been proposed. The technique consists of four sequential stages: (i) setting a chemical wellbore plug in the horizontal section upstream of the problem zone, (ii) ...
A customized implementation of the FAO land evaluation framework using GIS: the Avenue approach
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The concepts, the procedures and the methods of land evaluation proposed by the FAO framework were introduced. The relationships between two types of data models and land evaluation were discussed. The vector data model ...
Imbalance response of a rotor supported on a floating ring fluid film bearing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Turbochargers are commonly used to increase the power output and efficiency of internal combustion automotive engines. Conventional turbocharger rotors are usually supported on floating ring journal bearings (FRBs) running ...
Subpage migration and replication in CC-NUMA multiprocessors
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis deals with the issue of large memory access times in cache coherent non uniform memory access architecture multiprocessor systems. Specifically this thesis addresses the problems of false sharing and poor ...
Subsurface drip systems for land application of residential wastewater
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this project was to install two subsurface drip systems and provide a preliminary evaluation of their performance for land application of domestic wastewater. Subsurface drip systems were installed at two sites, ...
Calcite dissolution and Ca/Na ion-exchange reactions in columns with different flow rates through high ESR soil
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The leaching of a Na⁺-affected calcareous soil with water results in two concurrent recesses: (i) CaCO₃ dissolution, and (ii) replacement of Na⁺ on the cation-exchange complex by Ca²⁺. In the current study, Woodward soil ...
Habitat selection and thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, the alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Microhabitat selection, physiology, and body size all at-fed thermal biology of ectotherms. In this study, I determined the influence of these variables on the thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, Macroclemys ...
Investigation of sand consolidation using steam for the Tar Zone, Wilmington field, California
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An experimental study was carried out to better understand and optimize the process of sand consolidation using high-pH steam in wells of the Wilmington field, California. The apparatus consisted of a vertical 18 in. long ...
A census of precipitation features in the tropics using TRMM: radar, ice scattering, and lightning observations
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The observation of precipitation in the tropics has been greatly enhanced trough the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite n 1997. TRMM'S ability to continuously and simultaneously observe ...
