Response of breeding seaside sparrows to fire on the upper Texas Coast
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Fire is one of the primary tools for managing coastal marshes in parts of the range of the Seaside Sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus). This study examined changes in Seaside Sparrow densities between breeding seasons following ...
The influence of vegetation on frost dynamics, infiltration rate and surface stability in Icelandic Andisolic rangelands
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Degradation of Icelandic rangelands characterized by Andisols has been extensive. The goal of this research was to assess the effect of contrasting land cover types on ecological factors believed to be important for the ...
Genetic characterization of red rice (Oryza sativa L.) and control in imidazolinone tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Red rice from the southern United States was collected and analyzed using Simple Sequence Length Polymorphism (SSLP) markers in an effort to test the assumption that red rice is Oryza sativa ssp. indica. The 18 markers ...
Sucrose (table sugar) permeability as a diagnostic test for equine gastric ulcers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The prevalence of gastric ulceration in horses is high, often reaching 90% depending on population and level of training. Endoscopic examination is the only means of definitive diagnosis. The hypothesis of this study was ...
Design, analysis and simulation study of a Scalable all-Optical Interconnection Network (SCOPIN) for multiprocessing systems
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
With the pressure mounting for more efficient and robust interconnection schemes required for multiprocessing systems and used in massively parallel computing, the advent of optical interconnection networks is a welcome ...
An instructional design guide for web-based physics courses
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Enormous developments in technology, especially in computer network communication, have not only created new opportunities within the traditional classroom but have also resulted in the expansion of learning experiences ...
Pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine and its metabolites following a single intravenous dose in healthy and proteinuric dogs
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The first objective of this study was to establish the time course of lidocaine and its metabolites, monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and glycinexylidide (GX), in clinically normal dogs. The ultimate goal was to identify ...
Optimization of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear actuator
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this study the geometry of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear motion actuator will be optimized. This will be accomplished by modeling the system through a set of differential equations to be solved in Matlab. ...
Aerosol-to-Hydrosol Transfer Stages for use in bioaerosol sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Single-Jet and Multi-Jet Aerosol to Hydrosol Transfer Stages (AHTS) with cutpoints of 2 and 0.8 []m AD, respectively, were designed and evaluated. Both devices operate at nominal air sampling flow rate of 1 L/min, 0.1% ...
Simulation studies of steam-propane injection for the Hamaca heavy oil field
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Simulation studies were performed to evaluate a novel technology, steam-propane injection, for the heavy Hamaca crude oil. The oil has a gravity of 9.3⁰API and a viscosity of 25,000 cp at 50⁰C. Two types of simulation ...
