New Tool for Proliferation Resistance Evaluation Applied to Uranium and Thorium Fueled Fast Reactor Fuel Cycles
(2010-07-14)
The comparison of nuclear facilities based on their barriers to nuclear material
proliferation has remained a difficult endeavor, often requiring expert elicitation for each
system under consideration. However, objectively ...
An investigation of a professional development program using industry partnerships and student achievement
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This investigation examined the impact on student achievement of teachers who participated in a professional development program using industry partnerships. One treatment and one non-treatment school in a large urban ...
The Effect of Graded Levels of Dietary Starch on Cecal Environment in Horses
(2010-07-14)
Eight cecally fistulated geldings were used in a randomized 4 x 4 Latin square design to observe the effect varying levels of dietary starch had on cecal environment. The 4 treatment rations contained 2 g starch/kg BW (Diet ...
Can Problem Solving Affect the Understanding of Rational Numbers in the Middle School Setting?
(2010-07-14)
In this study, problem solving provided deeper meaning and understanding
through the implementation of a structured problem solving strategy with the teaching of
rational numbers. This action-research study was designed ...
CHANGES IN SANDSTONE DISTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN THE UPPER, MIDDLE, AND LOWER FAN IN THE ARKANSAS JACKFORK GROUP
(2010-07-14)
This study is a statistical analysis of the sandstone distribution within the
Arkansas Jackfork Group which is a passive margin fan complex. Passive margin fan
systems are typically associated with long fluvial transport, ...
Investigations on the use of main group metal complexes of salen ligands as catalysts for the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Current industrial processes for the production of polycarbonates, a thermoplastic valued for commercial applications, leave much to be desired from an environmental viewpoint. Research into alternative methods for production ...
An investigation into the contamination of WSR-88D VAD wind profile output by migrating birds
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The VAD Wind Profile (VWP), a time-height display of winds computed by the National Weather Service's WSR-88D radar, is known on occasion to have errors at night during the fall and spring seasons. Several studies, such ...
Iterative receivers for OFDM systems with dispersive fading and frequency offset
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The presence of dispersive fading and inter-carrier interference (ICI) constitute the major impediment to reliable communications in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Recently iterative (``Turbo'') ...
COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PEDAGOGY: A NATURALISTIC INQUIRY OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION
(2010-07-14)
This research examines interviews conducted with more than a dozen authorities in architectural education on collaborative methodologies utilized in the design studio and identifies factors that inhibit and facilitate the ...
Theoretical Studies of Structures and Mechanisms in Organometallic and Bioinorganic Chemistry: Heck Reaction with Palladium Phosphines, Active Sites of Superoxide Reductase and Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase, and Tetrairon Hexathiolate Hydrogenase Model
(2010-07-14)
The electronic structures and reaction mechanisms of transition-metal complexes
can be calculated accurately by density functional theory (DFT) in cooperation with the
continuum solvation model. The palladium catalyzed ...
