Effect of shrub management techniques on water quality and quantity on Coastal Bend rangeland
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Extensive studies on runoff from South Texas croplands and urban areas exist; however, little is known of the importance or impact of runoff generated from South Texas rangelands. Therefore, the objectives of this study ...
A simplified formulation for moisture diffusion through partly saturated clays
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Civil works constructed of high plasticity clays can be dramatically affected by strength loss in spite of careful compaction and moisture control. Highway embankments and retaining walls are good example of affected ...
Establishing criteria for the design of a combination parallel and cross-flaming covered burner
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A burner was designed and constructed to combine weed control practices of parallel and cross-flaming with the technology of covers and insulation. It involved two covers designed to be placed on the sides of a crop row. ...
Inter-rater reliability of the Strain Index
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The Strain Index is one of several tools available to evaluate exposure to musculoskeletal stressors in the workplace in order to predict whether or not workers are at an increased risk of developing distal upper extremity ...
Blade tip clearance effect on the performance and flow field of a three stage axial turbine
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The effect of a 1.5 % blade tip clearance on a rotating three stage turbine under different operating points was investigated using radially and circumferentially traversed five hole pressure probes. The probes were used ...
The orientation and distribution of sea fans on hardbottom habitats of the Mississippi/Alabama continental shelf
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Analysis of the densities and orientations of five common taxa of gorgonian and antipatharian sea fans was performed within five study areas on the Mississippi/Alabama continental shelf. Colonies exhibited a strong preference ...
An examination of biological variation in Lower Pecos and Central Texas human populations: the odontometric evidence
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The dental remains of one hundred twenty-three individuals from Lower Pecos and Central Texas were analyzed. Buccolingual and mesiodistal measurements were taken and subjected to univariate and multivariate statistics to ...
Formation damage in underbalanced drilling operations
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Formation damage has long been recognized as a potential source of reduced productivity and injectivity in both horizontal and vertical wells. From the moment that the pay zone is being drilled until the well is put on ...
Importance of satellite cells in recovery from eccentric contraction-induced muscle injury
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The purpose of this study was to determine if the elimination of satellite cell proliferation with []-irradiation would inhibit normal force recovery following eccentric contraction-induced injury. Adult female ICR mice ...
Evaluation of Mixing in Three Duct Configurations and Development of a Generic Tee Plenum System (GTPS) for Application to Single Point Aerosol Sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A Generic Tee Plenum System (GTPS) based on three different duct systems (Configuration-I, II and III) used in nuclear facilities has been developed which creates suitable conditions for single point representative sampling. ...
