Timed application of ammonium nitrate for optimum yield of uniform sweetpotato (lpomoea batatas) tuberous roots
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Sweetpotato, Ipomoea batatas L., was grown under 6 different nitrogen treatments for two lengths of time in pots of vermiculite and watered with a nutrient solution. The treatments were 50kg/Ha ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) ...
Completing the work of the guns: presidential rhetoric, national character, and World War II memorials
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The problems posed by gender essentialisms are important for both feminist theorists and environmental ethicists. Ecofeminist philosophers, as both feminist theorists and environmental ethicists, should therefore find ...
Curriculum development of a wildlife habitat gardening Golden Ray Series [sm] for the Junior Master Gardener [sm] Program
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Development of the Backyard Buddies Golden Ray Series curriculum for the Junior Master Gardener Program is a labor-intensive and ongoing project requiring consideration of numerous factors relating not only to the habitat ...
Grain refinement in bulk pure tantalum using equal channel angular extrusion
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
For this study, the effectiveness of equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) to improve the material properties and processing characteristics of vacuum arc remelted (VAR) pure tantalum was determined. The primary objectives ...
Controlling factors on the development and evolution of carbonate platforms: isostatic basement response to water-sediment loading
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this study is to accurately use sensitivity analysis on input parameters so a set of numerical simulations will geologically show the relative effects of isostatically compensated water-sediment loads on ...
Words, deeds, and the combat decision in Old English heroic literature
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Old English heroic literature frequently deals with the tension surrounding a combat decision, or the decision to enter into avoidable, mortal combat. The combat decision figures prominently in the poems Beowulf, the ...
Timing and Tectonic implications of basin inversion in the Nam Con Son Basin and adjacent areas, southern South China Sea
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Nam Con Son (NCS) Basin, located offshore of SE Vietnam, is one of several Tertiary rift basins that formed during initial Eocene(?)-Oligocene rifting. Following cessation of rifting at the end of Oligocene time, these ...
Coded modulation with Low Density Parity Check codes
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis proposes the design of Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes for cases where coded modulation is used. We design these codes by extending the idea of Density Evolution (DE) that has been introduced as a powerful ...
Wave runup on cylinders subject to deep water random waves
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The accurate prediction of wave runup on deepwater offshore platform columns is of great importance for design engineers. Although linear predictive models are commonly used in the design and analysis process, many of the ...
Simple shear processing of bulk BI₂TE₃ alloys
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this work is to determine the appropriate extrusion conditions of cast Bi₂Te₃ alloys via equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) to produce material that has a fine grain size (5~30[]m), uniform grain ...
