Reactor power history from fission product signatures
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this research was to identify fission product signatures that could be used to uniquely identify a specific spent fuel assembly in order to improve international safeguards. This capability would help prevent ...
Adaptive control for Mars atmospheric flight
(2009-05-15)
The new vision for space exploration will focus on sending humans to the moon and eventually to Mars. This endeavor presents new challenges that are critically different from the past experience with robotic missions to ...
Evaluation of oocyte competency in bovine and canine species via non-invasive assessment of oocyte quality
(2009-05-15)
Traditional methods of oocyte selection for in vitro studies have proven inefficient with respect to achieving a level of predictability for competency. In this study, a novel method of oocyte selection was implemented ...
Surface spectroscopic studies of mono- and bimetallic model catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation is focused on understanding heterogeneous bimetallic
catalysts using model catalyst systems, such as Pd-Au/Mo(110), Pd/Au(111) and
Pd/Au(100). Monometallic and bimetallic model catalysts, composed of Pd ...
