Randomized location service in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETS) are networks of mobile hosts that do not have a fixed infrastructure. Communication between these hosts is made difficult by the continuously changing topology. A node in the network can ...
Histomechanics of arteries due to altered mechanical forces
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Mechanical forces such as shear stress and pressure affect the cells of the arterial wall. Large arteries seek to maintain an optimal shear stress of 1.5 Pa and a circumferential stress of 100 kPa; when conditions such ...
What it means to be Christian: Kierkegaard's purpose as an author
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
My purpose for this thesis is to understand and interpret the meaning and intent of Kierkegaard's authorship. Kierkegaard is emphatically concerned with making his reader aware of essential Christianity and what it means ...
Adult attachment and selective information seeking
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The present study examined how individuals with anxious and avoidant attachment styles coped with the activation of insecure attachment systems when their vulnerabilities were heightened by a stressful event and perceptions ...
Absorption and retention of different chemical forms of trace minerals by mature horses
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This study was undertaken to compare the absorption and retention of copper, manganese and zinc when supplemented to the diet in the form of oxide, sulfate or organic-chelate mineral supplements. Six mature Miniature ...
Improving service availability during link failure transients through alternate routing
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A link failure in a network results in interruption of service for many end users. Currently, routers observing a link failure, recompute their routing tables to find new routes around the failure. However, the network ...
Vibrational characteristics of a long and very flexible rotating fixed-free beam
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The differential eigenvalue problem of a long and very flexible rotating fixed-free beam is studied. This kind of system produces a singular perturbation equation with a turning point. The perturbation factor arises because ...
An experimental investigation of heat transfer in narrow, rectangular cooling channels with pin-fins
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The effect of rotation on smooth narrow rectangular channels and narrow rectangular channels with pin-fins is investigated in this study. Pin-fins are commonly used in the narrow sections within the trailing edge of the ...
A comparative study of the macroinvertebrate communities in three oxbow lakes and the Brazos River in East Central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Macroinvertebrate communities of the Brazos River and three of its oxbow lakes, in East Central Texas, were sampled from the summer of 1994 to the spring of 1996. The floodplain for this area is predominantly nutrient-rich ...
Tolerance of forage bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.)Pers] hybrids to imazapic plus 2,4-D
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Research was conducted to evaluate the tolerance of 'Coastal', 'Jiggs', and 'Tifton 85' bermudagrasses [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] to Oasis® which is a l:2 premix of imazapic plus 2,4-D containing 0.91 and 1.82 kg ai ...
