Kinematic conditioning augmentation to haptic interface for teleoperation
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A solution is proposed for the kinematic conditioning problem in teleoperation. The proposed solution helps the operator in understanding the kinematic conditioning of the slave manipulator with the help of haptic interface. ...
Comparative nutrient digestibility in horses fed a fat-supplemented, high-fiber diet
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Eight mature stock-type mares averaging 481.4 kg were used in a 4 x 2 switchback arrangement of treatments to determine nutrient density of an experimental diet. The horses were blocked by age into groups of four and then ...
Development of a rapid method fluorescent biosenser to quantitate bioavailable methionine
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Nutrition is the key to optimizing performance and growth in animals. Amino acids are a component of nutrition that greatly influence growth and therefore must be at proper levels in the blood at all times. One of these ...
Situated learning of geometry concepts in middle school mathematics
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
An extensive evaluation of how 7th grade students learn two- and three- dimensional geometry can help teachers provide students with the optimal environment for student learning to take place. This study used the ''Filling ...
Elements of tropical Pacific decadal variability
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The evolution of decadal variability in the tropical Pacific is investigated using a global assimilation reanalysis. At the nexus of this study are monthly means of an ocean general circulation model coupled with a data ...
Feeding and feed-processing by red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) fed natural and formluated diets
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Experiments with juvenile red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus, estimated 1) digestibility, 2) feed consumption and growth, and 3) gastric evacuation rate (GER) for two diets: shrimp tail-meat ("Shrimp"), representing natural ...
Evaluation of various sulphur amino acid compounds in the diet of red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Refinement of diet formulations to enhance the efficiency of red drum production continues to be pursued. Based on previous studies, the sulfur amino acid (SAA) requirement of red drum for methionine plus cystine appears ...
The scientific model concept and realism
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The goal of this thesis is two-fold. First, while the model concept frequently is mentioned in the philosophical literature on scientific knowledge, it rarely is addressed as a focus for methodology. My aim is to support ...
Improved vertex cover algorithms for fixed genus graphs through genus reduction and planar separation
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
There have been increasing efforts to find improved solutions to the VERTEX COVER problem and other NP-hard problems. The latest solving algorithms have shown progress in reducing the theoretical worst-case time complexity ...
Diversity in the upper management of leading Texas contractors
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Today's society encourages diversification in all aspects of life, including diversity in the workplace. In order to obtain a clear picture of the characteristics of the Texas construction industry's upper management, 264 ...
