Design of active suspension control based upon use of tubular linear motor and quarter-car model
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The design, fabrication, and testing of a quarter-car facility coupled with various
control algorithms are presented in this thesis. An experimental linear tubular motor,
capable of producing a 52-N force, provides control ...
Adapting a delay-based protocol to heterogeneous environments
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We investigate the issues in making a delay-based protocol adaptive to heterogeneous
environments. We assess and address the problems a delay-based protocol
faces when competing with a loss-based protocol such as TCP. We ...
Satellite observations and numerical simulations of jet-front gravity waves over North America and North Atlantic Ocean
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this study, a month-long simulation of gravity waves over North America and
North Atlantic Ocean is performed using the mesoscale model MM5 for January 2003,
verified with Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) ...
A visual simulation playground for engineering dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Past educational studies reveal that students have difficulty making the connection between the mathematical and analytical models used to describe building
behavior and the behavior itself. This thesis examines the ...
Global scheduling on temperature-constrained multiprocessor real-time systems
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this thesis, we study temperature-constrained multiprocessor real-time systems,
where real-time guarantees must be met without exceeding safe temperature levels
within the processors. We focus on Pfair scheduling ...
Video annotation tools
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This research deals with annotations in scholarly work. Annotations have been studied by many people. A significant amount of research has shown that instead of implementing domain specific annotation applications a better ...
Effects of context encoding and cuing: tests of the outshining and overshadowing hypotheses
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The following experiments looked at how encoding information and available
cues at test can influence context effects. More specifically, the present experiments
investigated the overshadowing and outshining hypotheses. ...
Ecotoxicological simulation modeling: effects of agricultural chemical exposure on wintering burrowing owls
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The western burrowing owl, Athene cunicularia hypugaea, is a Federal Species
of Concern, whose numbers and range have been drastically reduced from historic levels
in Texas. Burrowing owls roost and forage in agricultural ...
A high-pass detunable quadrature birdcage coil at high-field
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The circuit described in this study is intended for Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) application. The function of this circuit is to transmit RF energy to the sample
and then receive the RF energy. The circuit that does ...
Creating computer generated scene lighting in the style of Edward Hopper
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The goal of this thesis is to study the lighting styles used in three selected Edward
Hopper paintings: Morning Sun, Summer Evening, and Night Windows and to create an
original, three-dimensional scene lit in a similar ...
