Error-in-variables for failure criteria applied to the near -wellbore region
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The development of a methodology to improve the parametric representation of the failure criteria used to characterize rock strength of a reservoir rock in the near-wellbore region is the focus of this study. We adopted a ...
Factors influencing Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) distribution in nearshore waters and implications for management
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Post-pelagic juvenile and subadult Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) (20-40 cm straight carapace length) utilize nearshore waters of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico as nursery or developmental feeding grounds. ...
Genomic organization of chromosomal centromeres in the cultivated rice, Oryza sativa L., and its wild progenitor, O. rufipogon Griff.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Centromeres are responsible for sister-chromatid cohesion, kinetochore formation, and
accurate transmission of chromosomes. Rice provides an excellent model for
organizational and functional studies of centromeres since ...
Errors associated with particulate matter measurements on rural sources: appropriate basis for regulating cotton gins
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Agricultural operations across the United States are encountering difficulties complying with current air pollution regulations for particulate matter (PM). PM is currently regulated in terms of particle diameters less ...
Environmental amenities and disamenities, and housing prices; using GIS techniques
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research investigated the effects of Scientifically Estimated Environmental Risks (SEERs) and perceived risks of floods, hurricanes, and hazardous material releases, and hazard mitigation measures with other locational ...
A study of micro fiber dispersion using digital image analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The area of the digital image processing is getting more attention in the hope that it will increase the accuracy of any scientific measurements, such as in determining an object velocity, temperature, and size. While ...
A comparison of the environmental effects of traditional intensive forestry and the sustainable forestry initiative: a modeling approach at the landscape level
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Changes in landscape pattern caused by changes in forest management, namely the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), and the implications of these structural changes on landscape processes were analyzed. Landscape structure ...
Alliance coordination effectiveness and the performance of international strategic alliances: development of the partnership and moderating role of market environment turbulence
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate post-international strategic alliance (ISA) formation issues, which have been neglected in the ISA literature. The specific research questions were 1) how do ISA partners ...
Role of leptin in regulating the bovine hypothalamic-gonadotropic axis
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The physiological mechanisms through which nutrition mediates its effects in controlling reproduction are not well characterized. Both neural and endocrine components have been implicated in the communication of nutritional ...
The role of grain sorghum in conservation of predatory arthropods of Texas cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Four separate but complimentary studies investigated the role of grain sorghum as a predator source for Southern Rolling Plains cotton in 2001 and 2002. Objectives were to: (1) determine the timing and magnitude of predator ...
