Predicting recreation priorities
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Non-profit recreation departments are in the business of predicting and meeting constituents' recreation needs. However, scant research has been conducted that examines factors that determine these needs. Recreation need ...
Effects of glyphosate over-the-top applications on the reproductive growth of Roundup Ready cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Roundup Ready technology is an additional tool that can be used against weed problems. However, previous studies have indicated that lint yield can be negatively impacted when plants are treated with over-the-top Roundup ...
A three phase load flow algorithm for Shipboard Power Systems
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Load Flow (Power Flow) is the determination of the steady state operating conditions for the system. This is a very important tool utilized by many real time applications in power systems. Traditional load flow methods, ...
Evaluation of allowable stresses for high strength concrete prestressed bridge girders
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
High strength concrete (HSC) is regularly used for prestressed bridge girders in Texas and other states. The American Concrete Institute (ACI) Committee 363 (1997) defines HSC as concrete with a compressive strength ...
Analyses of the number of times married: U.S. women 1995-1996
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis will analyze the number of times U.S. women marry. My hypotheses ask whether race, education, age, and metropolitan status affect the number of times women marry. If these variables differ across women, this ...
Accelerated quantification of critical parameters for predicting the service life and life cycle costs of chloride-laden reinforced concrete structures
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The use of corrosion resistant steels (instead of conventional carbon steels) and/or high performance concrete can increase the overall service life and can reduce the life cycle cost (LCC) of reinforced concrete (RC) ...
The analysis and conservation of the Belle footwear assemblage
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Nautical archaeology can be loosely defined as the study of the material remains of ships and their contents as a component of a broader cultural system. The oceans and lakes of the world are replete with shipwrecks from ...
Enhancing inductive learning with feature selection and example selection
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
While most of the stable learning algorithms perform well on domains with relevant information, they degrade in the presence of irrelevant or redundant information. Selective or focused learning presents a solution to this ...
Woody plant and wintering grassland bird responses to summer prescribed burning in grazed and ungrazed Texas Mid-Coastal Prairies
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Concerned researchers have argued that winter region habitat losses may exacerbate observed declines of grassland birds on the breeding grounds. Yet few studies have investigated grassland bird habits during the non-breeding ...
Microvascular function after treatment with an angiogenic factor, TP508, in a porcine model of chronic ischemia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Therapeutic angiogenesis is a new treatment modality thought to increase blood flow to ischemic areas of myocardium. The objective of this study was to determine if an experimental angiogenic factor, Chysalin® (TP508), ...
