Compliant mechanisms
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The motivation for this work has been a variety of motions like navigation of pipelines, insertion operations in assembly, and gripping actions, which require the adaptation of the mechanism to the external constraints, ...
Analysis of reservoir performance and forecasting for the eastern area of the C-2 Reservoir, Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This research developed a numerical simulation based on the latest reservoir description to evaluate the feasibility of new infill wells to maximize the recovery specifically in the eastern region of the reservoir operated ...
Maritimity in prehistoric Scandinavia: cognitive domain formation and the reconstruction of a Mesolithic mindset
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Scandinavian maritime archaeologists are in agreement that the ship functioned as a powerful symbol for the peoples of the Bronze, Iron and Viking Ages, largely as an outgrowth of the nature of their seafaring society. ...
Immunohistochemical localization of neuroendocrine cell types in the immune system of the chicken
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of the current study was to provide solid evidence for the existence of neuroendocrine cells within the immune system of the chicken. This was achieved with an immunocytochemical approach using monoclonal ...
The effect of static and dynamic misalignment on ball bearing radial stiffness for variable axial preloads
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The primary objective of the research project was to determine through rotordynamic computer modeling and experimental testing, the radial stiffness of a symmetric angular contact ball bearing for static and dynamic ...
Evaluation of canine and ovine oviducts for maturation of canine oocytes from antral follicles
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of this study was to determine whether canine or ovine oviducts improve the maturation of canine oocytes obtained from antral follicles over an in vitro system. The objective of the first experiment was to evaluate ...
Effect of doping in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductor composites
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of this thesis is to analyze the solid solubility limit of dopants in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O superconductors. We have studied the effect of Mn doping Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. The electrical resistivity and critical temperature ...
Identification of research and development needs in highway construction engineering and management
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Ten years have passed since the last assessment of research and development needs in highway construction engineering and management (CEM) and a new research program is necessary to indicate the direction and focus of ...
Blindness as identity
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis is a literary ethnology of blindness. The data are gathered from autobiographies published in the United States in the last decade of the twentieth century. Issues common to a third or more of the authors are ...
Development of a RELAP5-3D three-dimensional model of a VVER-1000 Nuclear Power Plant for analysis of a large-break loss-of-coolant accident
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In order to analyze the benefits of the multi-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling capability of the RELAP5-3D system code in the VVER-1000 Nuclear Power Plant, a three-dimensional model of the core, downcomer, and lower ...
