On the design and analysis of the software and data architecture of ROI-based image retrieval system
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Content-based Image Retrieval (CBIR) has been widely used in many areas such as crime prevention, the military, web searching, intellectual property, etc. The technology related to CBIR has been continuously developed, ...
Predicting proppant flowback from fracture-stimulated wells
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
In this thesis, the usefulness and benefits of predicting proppant flowback in the design stage of hydraulic fracturing treatments are evidenced. A new prediction model, as well as a methodology, is proposed in this work. ...
Unemployment status and negative self-feelings
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The reciprocal relationship between unemployment status and negative self-feelings is examined under the moderating effects of locus of control. The participants were drawn from responses in the fourth and seventh waves ...
Construction and early test results of waste transport in piping systems served by ULF water closets
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The intent of this study was to determine if there is a correlation between discharge curves and venting on waste transport. Test stands were built to facilitate discharge curve and waste transport testing at the ESL ...
Propagation techniques for a spineless Acacia wrightii and a weeping Ulmus parvifolia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Three spineless phenotypes of Acacia wrightii G. Bentham ex A. Gray were identified with aesthetic landscape potential. Experiments in seed, cutting, grafting, and tissue culture propagation were undertaken to perpetuate ...
Investigation of flow modifying tools for the continuous unloading of wet-gas wells
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Liquid loading in low production gas wells is a common problem faced in many producing regions around the world. Once gas rates fall below the minimum lift velocity, it is essential that some action be taken to maintain ...
Physical and acoustic properties of sediments off the coasts of Molokai and Lanai Islands, Hawaii
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Examination of physical and acoustic properties of carbonate-rich sediments was conducted on a suite of cores off of the coasts of Molokai and Lanai Islands, Hawaii. Carbonate mineralogy, grain size, grain density, porosity, ...
High school students' preconceptions and conceptions about Tropical Storm Allison
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Today many people with no personal experience of living through a tropical storm reside in coastal regions in harm's way. There is a need to educate this population about storm risks. One good venue for this purpose is ...
Rotordynamic evaluation of hybrid damper seals with metal mesh elements
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Metal mesh hybrid damper seals (MHS) were proposed to be an alternative for brush hybrid pocket damper seals (PDS) in turbomachinery. The metal mesh hybrid damper seal is a hybrid of the pocket damper seal and the metal ...
Coordination of cell growth with cell division: G1 cyclin regulation of nitrogen metabolism
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
How cell growth and metabolism are coupled with cell division is largely unknown. We examined budding yeast cells growing under continuous culture conditions, and found that cell growth requirements were not limited to ...
