A three dimensional simulation of a thermal experiment conducted on an accelerator driven system target model concept
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Accelerator transmutation of waste (ATW) is a new concept that would destroy actinides in spent fuel and produce electrical power. This study explores the possibility of modeling the thermo-hydraulics of this system with ...
Intern experience at Bechtel Petroleum Incorporated: an internship report
(Texas A&M University, 2013-03-13)
Kinetica: creating real-time digital sculpture in the historical context of kinetic art
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
While science and art are often perceived as being dichotomous, the synthesis of the two provides an exciting arena for new expression and cultural advancement. The tradition of kinetic art provides precedence for the ...
A switched capacitor, fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator for 20MHz IF digitization
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The past few years have witnessed an explosive growth of wireless applications for mobile communications and wireless networking. With modern sub-micron technologies, it is feasible to achieve complete integration of the ...
Absurd limits: Camus, Dewey, and metaphysics
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
If we take seriously the analogy bestowed by our heritage that nature is to be conceived as our mother and that God the Father is our source for Reason, Truth, and Justice then given Nietzsche's claim that we are a generation ...
The costs of artillery: harassment and interdiction fire in the Vietnam War
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
A type of artillery mission practiced by the United States Army since World War I, Harassment and Interdiction (H&I) fire proved controversial during the Vietnam War. Intentionally unobserved, H&I targeted suspected Viet ...
Development of a two dimensional optical fiber force transducer for constitutive modeling of soft tissue
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Constitutive modeling of soft tissue has provided better understanding of their function and behavior in both normal and pathophysiological conditions. The ability to predict growth and remodeling of the tissue under the ...
Combined water use of turf and woody ornamentals in an irrigated South Texas landscape
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Landscape water conservation and potential evapotranspiration (PET or ET[p]) based irrigation programs are hindered by a lack of data on actual evapotranspiration (ET[a]) rates of multiple plant species landscapes. ...
Error rate and power dissipation in nano-logic devices
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Current-controlled logic and single electron logic processors have been investigated with respect to thermal-induced bit error. A maximal error rate for both logic processors is regarded as one bit-error/year/chip. A maximal ...
The inheritance and genetic relationships of the resistance to Phytophthora capsici in two chile pepper (Capsicum annum) genotypes
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The inheritance of two resistant genotypes, Criollo de Morelos 334 and Fidel, to P. capsici seems to be controlled by two recessive genes, with epistatic and additive effects respectively. Both resistant genotypes could ...
