Archaeological evidence for ship eyes: an analysis of their form and function
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
During the late 19th century, a number of large marble eyes were discovered near the
Athenian naval facilities at Zea. Although initially published as the eyes of ancient
Greek warships, many scholars have doubted the ...
Economical analysis of a new gas to ethylene technology
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Ethylene is one of the most important petrochemical intermediates and feedstocks
for many different products. The motivating force of this work is to compare a new
process of ethylene production developed at Texas A&M ...
The development and implementation of an ionic-polymer-metal-composite propelled vessel guided by a goal-seeking algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This thesis describes the use of an ultrasonic goal-seeking algorithm while using ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC), an electroactive polymer, as the actuator to drive a vessel towards a goal. The signal transmitting ...
Low-level convergence and its role in convective intensity and frequency over the Houston lightning and rainfall anomaly
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
An increase in the amount of lightning and rainfall over the Houston area, compared
to the surrounding rural areas, has been well documented in previous studies. The
placement of a Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and ...
Inferring interwell connectivity from injection and production data using frequency domain analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This project estimates interwell connectivity, a characteristic that is crucial to determine reservoir
continuity while developing a waterflooding project. It tests the combination of Fourier transforms (FTâÂÂs)
of the ...
Thermal decomposition study of hydroxylamine nitrate during storage and handling
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Hydroxylamine nitrate (HAN), an important agent for the nuclear industry
and the U.S. Army, has been involved in several costly incidents. To prevent similar
incidents, the study of HAN safe storage and handling boundary ...
Romantic relationships and adult attachment: providing a secure base for exploration
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The current study examines both attachment style and the current romantic
relationship's influence on exploration. A sample was gathered of 152 female and 130
male undergraduate students from Texas A&M University. The study ...
Microdisk fabrication by emulsion evaporation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Colloidal suspensions of disk-like particles have been of interest in both colloidal and liquid crystal studies because they exhibit unique liquid crystalline phases different from those of rod-like molecules. Disk-like ...
Detection of aldehydes in lung cancer cell culture by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and solid-phase microextraction with on-fiber derivatization
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Aldehydes in lung cancer cell culture have been investigated using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and solid-phase microextraction with on-fiber derivatization. In this study, the poly(dimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene ...
Biochemical markers of bone modeling and remodeling in juvenile racehorses at varying mineral intakes
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Blood-borne biochemical markers were used to track comparative rates of bone
turnover in horses fed differing amounts of Ca, P and Mg. Bone turnover was tracked
by serum osteocalcin, bone resorption by the carboxyterminal ...
