Energy efficiency in wireless networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks since wireless devices are
usually powered by batteries. Battery capacity is finite and the progress of battery technology
is very slow, with capacity expected ...
A comparison of automated land cover/use classification methods for a Texas bottomland hardwood system using lidar, spot-5, and ancillary data
(2009-05-15)
Bottomland hardwood forests are highly productive ecosystems which perform
many important ecological services. Unfortunately, many bottomland hardwood forests
have been degraded or lost. Accurate land cover mapping is ...
Multi-resolution methods for high fidelity modeling and control allocation in large-scale dynamical systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation introduces novel methods for solving highly challenging model-
ing and control problems, motivated by advanced aerospace systems. Adaptable, ro-
bust and computationally effcient, multi-resolution ...
The experiences of select university presidential partners with traditional role expectations
(2009-05-15)
This study focused on 24 female and male respondents. The literature on presidential partners was lacking. The literature available was over 20 years out of date, had been conducted by university presidential partners on ...
Enhancement of a fluorescent sensor for monitoring glucose concentration in diabetic patients
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The need for overnight and continuous monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic
patients is profound, especially among juveniles. Implantation of a chemical assay
which responds optically to changes in glucose concentration ...
Audio browsing of automaton-based hypertext
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
With the wide-spread adoption of hypermedia systems and the World Wide Web (WWW) in particular, these systems have evolved from simple systems with only textual content to those that incorporate a large content base, which ...
Remote sensing studies and morphotectonic investigations in an arid rift setting, Baja California, Mexico
(2009-05-15)
The Gulf of California and its surrounding land areas provide a classic example
of recently rifted continental lithosphere. The recent tectonic history of eastern Baja
California has been dominated by oblique rifting that ...
PAMPA II Advanced Charting System
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Project Management is the primary key to successful software development. In 1995 Caper Jones stated that the failure or cancellation rate of large software systems was over 20% in his article on patterns of large software ...
African American citizen soldiers in Galveston and San Antonio, Texas, 1880-1906
(2009-05-15)
The Texas Volunteer Guard, created by the Militia Law of 1879, continued to
allow African Americans to serve as citizen soldiers. From 1880 to 1906 over six
hundred black men faithfully served in the various state militia ...
Uncertainty of microwave radiative transfer computations in rain
(2009-06-02)
Currently, the effect of the vertical resolution on the brightness temperature (BT)
has not been examined in depth. The uncertainty of the freezing level (FL) retrieved
using two different satellites' data is large. Various ...
