Preliminary investigation of the nature of hydrocarbon migration and entrapment
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Numerical simulations indicate that hydrocarbon migration and entrapment in stacked fault-bounded reservoirs are mainly affected by the following factors: charge time, faults, pressure and geological structures. The charge ...
A New Era for the Big 8? Evidence on the Association Between Earnings Quality and Audit Firm Type
(2010-07-14)
I examine the association between earnings quality and audit firm type using a three-tiered audit firm classification scheme which allows for an explicit examination of the quality of Second-Tier audited earnings. My tests ...
Flood control reservoir operations for conditions of limited storage capacity
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The main objective of this research is to devise a risk-based methodology for
developing emergency operation schedules (EOS). EOS are decision tools that provide
guidance to reservoir operators in charge of making real-time ...
Coherent effects in atomic and molecular media: applications to anthrax detection and quantum information
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
In the present quantum optics and laser physics study, the non-linear interaction
of electromagnetic fields with atomic, molecular and biomolecular media is analyzed.
Particular emphasis is given to coherent phenomena, ...
On a tensor-based finite element model for the analysis of shell structures
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In the present study, we propose a computational model for the linear and nonlinear
analysis of shell structures. We consider a tensor-based finite element formulation which
describes the mathematical shell model in a ...
Investigation of the photocatalytic lithographic deposition of metals in sealed microfluidic devices on TiO2 surfaces
(2009-05-15)
The research presented within this dissertation explores the photocatalytic
deposition of metal carried out within sealed microfluidic channels. Micro scale
patterning of metals inside sealed microchannels is investigated ...
The effects of mnemonics on letter recognition and letter sound acquisition of at-risk kindergarten students
(2009-05-15)
This study examined the effectiveness of embedded picture mnemonic alphabet
cards on the acquisition of letter name and letter sound knowledge with at-risk
kindergarten students in a rural Texas public school. The study ...
An Investigation of Methods for Reducing the Use of Non-Renewable Energy Resources for Housing in Thailand
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The purpose of this research is to develop methods that reduce energy consumption in a
residential building in a hot and humid climate region (Thailand) using efficient architectural
building components and renewable ...
The effects of ethical climate and faculty-student relationships on graduate student stress
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to empirically investigate the impact of departmental ethical climate (climate) and primary student-faculty relationship (support) on graduate student stress (stress). Participants included ...
Perceptions of Leadership and Student Performance in Science From Campus Leaders in Selected High Schools
(2010-07-14)
This naturalistic study focused on the perceptions of leadership and student performance in science from campus leaders in three purposefully selected secondary campuses of ninth through twelfth grades. Each school had ...
