Phylogeography of five species of the stygobitic shrimp genus Typhlatya, as determined from the sequence analysis of three mitochondrial genes
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Classical taxonomic studies of stygobitic (aquatic cave-limited) species have concentrated primarily on their unique morphological characters, many of which may be the result of convergent or parallel evolution, rather ...
Illusionism: an application to real and virtual 3D worlds
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Illusionism throughout art's history is explored in order to provide a platform for a new visual application. Originally, these works of illusionism were labeled Trompe l'Oeil, meaning 'fool the eye,' and this 2D style ...
Drift-flux analysis of two-phase flow in microgravity
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
As NASA programs such as the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle, the Space Nuclear Power Initiative, and other future spacecraft become more demanding, two-phase (gas-liquid) systems for advanced life support ...
Microemulsion-mediated syntheses of silicalite-1
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The cationic microemulsion-mediated synthesis of silicalite-1 has been studied. The focal point of this work is to determine if these microemulsions present a confined space in which zeolite particles of novel morphology ...
A life history, morphologic and taxonomic study of Aplysia (Gastropoda: Opisthobranchia): A. brasiliana Rang 1828, A. cervina Dall and Simpson 1901 in the Lower Laguna Madre, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Thirty-five species of Aplysia are currently recognized. Four species live in the Lower Laguna Madre of Texas. Two of the species, A. brasiliana Rang 1828 and A. cervina Dall and Simpson 1901, had been observed mating ...
Wrought iron hand tools from the underwater archaelogical excavations of colonial Port Royal, Jamaica, C. 1692
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The written history of Port Royal starts with the European discovery of Jamaica on Columbus' second voyage to the New World and has proven to be rich in shady characters and natural disasters. The English took possession ...
Divine sustenance and theological compatibilism
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
This thesis presents a case for theological compatibilism, the view that divine foreknowledge and human freedom are compatible. My attempt to support theological compatibilism is based chiefly upon two arguments, which ...
An exploratory study of the multiplier effect as a component of staff development
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The concept behind the multiplier effect as a component of teacher staff development is that "the training of a relatively few individuals could have impact on a relatively large number of teachers" (Lesiak, Petty, & ...
William James and the rationality of possibility
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
William James's "The Dilemma of Determinism" essay, delivered and published in 1884, concerns the competing doctrines of determinism and free will. In the essay, James suggests compelling reasons why it is more rational ...
Grounding intentionality
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
In this thesis, I argue that current attempts to ground intentionality face one of two challenges. Either the grounding feature of intentionality will be itself intentional or the grounding feature is disparate in nature ...
