Stable and scalable congestion control for high-speed heterogeneous networks
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
For any congestion control mechanisms, the most fundamental design objectives
are stability and scalability. However, achieving both properties are very challenging
in such a heterogeneous environment as the Internet. ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing are performed to circumvent the difficulties
of efficient mixing, which come from the lack of turbulence in microfluidic devices. In order to
carry out efficient and ...
Fast history matching of time-lapse seismic and production data for high resolution models
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Integrated reservoir modeling has become an important part of day-to-day
decision analysis in oil and gas management practices. A very attractive and promising
technology is the use of time-lapse or 4D seismic as an ...
On the same team? a qualitative study of female sportswriters' attitudes on covering women's athletics
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Women's athletics regularly receives less media coverage than men's athletics,
and female athletes are often portrayed in ways that de-emphasize their athletic abilities.
Previous researchers have suggested that increasing ...
Effective algorithms and protocols for wireless networking: a topological approach
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Much research has been done on wireless sensor networks. However, most protocols
and algorithms for such networks are based on the ideal model Unit Disk Graph
(UDG) model or do not assume any model. Furthermore, many ...
An evaluation of the 4-H master livestock volunteer program in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The purpose of this study was to assess the perceptions of Master Livestock
Volunteer program participants regarding the effectiveness of the program, their role in
the county 4-H volunteer program, and the role of various ...
Structural study of the interaction between poxvirus-encoded cc chemokine inhibitor vcci and human mip-1beta
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Chemokines (chemotactic cytokines) comprise a large family of proteins that
recruit and activate leukocytes, giving chemokines a major role in both immune response
and inflammation-related diseases. Viral CC chemokine ...
The piecewise linear discontinuous finite element method applied to the RZ and XYZ transport equations
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this dissertation we discuss the development, implementation, analysis and testing of
the Piecewise Linear Discontinuous Finite Element Method (PWLD) applied to the
particle transport equation in two-dimensional ...
Integer programming models for the branchwidth problem
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We consider the problem of computing the branchwidth and an optimal branch decomposition
of a graph. Branch decompositions and branchwidth were introduced in
1991 by Robertson and Seymour and were used in the proof of ...
Quantum stabilizer codes and beyond
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The importance of quantum error correction in paving the way to build a practical
quantum computer is no longer in doubt. Despite the large body of literature in quantum
coding theory, many important questions, especially ...
