Impact of mineralogy on potassium dynamics and retention behavior in Bangladesh soils used in rice cropping systems
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The combination of rising population and increasing food demand has placed
tremendous pressure on the soil resource in Bangladesh, especially floodplain soils
where rice may be grown year round. Although these floodplain ...
Second law analysis of premixed compression ignition combustion in a diesel engine using a thermodynamic engine cycle simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
A second law analysis of compression ignition engine was completed using a thermodynamic engine cycle simulation. The major components of availability destruction and transfer for an entire engine cycle were identified and ...
Regulation of branching by phytochrome B and PPFD in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The branching or tillering of crops is an important agronomic trait with a major
impact on yield. Maintaining an appropriate number of branches allows the plant to use
limited light resources and to produce biomass or ...
Decision matrix for liquid loading in gas wells for cost/benefit analyses of lifting options
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Field-proven solutions already exist to reduce the loss of gas production when
liquid loading begins to occur. However, the choice of remedial technique, its feasibility,
and its cost, vary considerably depending on a ...
Design of active suspension control based upon use of tubular linear motor and quarter-car model
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The design, fabrication, and testing of a quarter-car facility coupled with various
control algorithms are presented in this thesis. An experimental linear tubular motor,
capable of producing a 52-N force, provides control ...
Adapting a delay-based protocol to heterogeneous environments
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We investigate the issues in making a delay-based protocol adaptive to heterogeneous
environments. We assess and address the problems a delay-based protocol
faces when competing with a loss-based protocol such as TCP. We ...
Satellite observations and numerical simulations of jet-front gravity waves over North America and North Atlantic Ocean
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this study, a month-long simulation of gravity waves over North America and
North Atlantic Ocean is performed using the mesoscale model MM5 for January 2003,
verified with Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) ...
A visual simulation playground for engineering dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Past educational studies reveal that students have difficulty making the connection between the mathematical and analytical models used to describe building
behavior and the behavior itself. This thesis examines the ...
Global scheduling on temperature-constrained multiprocessor real-time systems
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this thesis, we study temperature-constrained multiprocessor real-time systems,
where real-time guarantees must be met without exceeding safe temperature levels
within the processors. We focus on Pfair scheduling ...
Video annotation tools
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This research deals with annotations in scholarly work. Annotations have been studied by many people. A significant amount of research has shown that instead of implementing domain specific annotation applications a better ...
