Empirical modeling and simulation of edgewater cusping and coning
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In many cases, it is important to predict water production performance of oil
wells early in, or maybe before, their production life. In as much as oil field water is
important for pressure maintenance purposes and ...
Evolution of the Galapagos Rise and the Bauer Microplate: implications for the Nazca plate
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Analysis of the satellite altimetry based predicted bathymetry, magnetic anomalies, and earthquake seismic data relating to the geophysical structure on the Nazca plate indicates that the Galapagos Rise system served as ...
Two higher order elasticity theories: their variational formulations and applications
(2009-05-15)
Classical elasticity cannot be used to explain effects related to material
microstructures due to its lack of a material length scale parameter. To mitigate this
deficiency, higher order elasticity theories have been ...
Historic building documentation in the united states, 1933-2000: the historic american buildings survey, a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The objective of the study was to gain new insight into archival building documentation
in the United States since 1933 focusing on Historic American Buildings Survey
(HABS) as a case study. It sought to help explain how ...
Common messenger molecules and cell types demonstrating neuroendocrine-immune interactions in the chicken
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The aim of this study was to identify common messenger molecules used in both
the immune and the neuroendocrine systems in birds, and to shed light on a cell type
within the bursa of Fabricius that has historically been ...
Analysis of the principal's perceptions of the implementation and impact of the accelerated reader and other selected reading strategies used by Texas gold performance elementary schools
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Knowledge of the implementation practices of successful elementary schools will
be beneficial to other elementary principals who seek to improve student success in
reading. This study examined perceptions of principals ...
Improving the Education of Hispanic English Language Learners: Examining Educational Resilience and Effective Instructional Practices
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation includes empirical studies of educational achievement and resilience of Hispanic ELL. The dataset used is the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort and Birth Cohort. In the first study, ...
Investigation of surface inhomogeneity and estimation of the GOES skin temperature assimilation errors of the MM5 implied by the inhomogeneity over Houston metropolitan area
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study developed a parameterization method to investigate the impacts of inhomogeneous land surfaces on mesoscale model simulations using a high-resolution 1-d PBL model. Then, the 1-d PBL model was used to investigate ...
Analysis and computation of multiple unstable solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems
(2009-05-15)
We study computational theory and methods for finding multiple unstable solutions
(corresponding to saddle points) to three types of nonlinear variational elliptic
systems: cooperative, noncooperative, and Hamiltonian. We ...
Mood, food, traits, and restraint: an experimental investigation of negative affect, borderline personality, and disordered eating
(2009-05-15)
Eating disorders and borderline personality disorder involve several overlapping
features, such as impulsivity, negative affectivity, and dissociation. However, few
studies have specifically assessed how eating pathology ...
