Ultracapacitor Boosted Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle
(2010-01-14)
With the escalating number of vehicles on the road, great concerns are drawn to
the large amount of fossil fuels they use and the detrimental environmental impacts from
their emissions. A lot of research and development ...
Discrete fracture modeling for fractured reservoirs using Voronoi grid blocks
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Fractured reservoirs are commonly simulated using the Dual Porosity model, but
for many major fields, the model does not match field results. For these cases, it is
necessary to perform a more complex simulation including ...
Upgrading and enhanced recovery of Jobo heavy oil using hydrogen donor under in-situ combustion
(2009-05-15)
In-situ upgrading of oil using hydrogen donors is a new process. In particular, very
little research has been conducted with respect to in-situ oil upgrading using hydrogen
donor under in-situ combustion. Several papers ...
Assessing the repeatability and validity of a questionnaire on pain and lameness in the canine
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The measurement of pain has had a growing importance in animals for both privately owned animals and those animals involved in clinical research. Lameness is considered to be 1 aspect of the pain experience. The ability ...
The effects of shinnery oak removal on lesser prairie chicken survival, movement, and reproduction
(2009-05-15)
The lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) has declined in
numbers since the late 1800s. Reasons for this decline have been attributed to habitat
degradation (decreased forb and grass cover and increased ...
Analysis of Brand Recognition Associated with the Texas SuperstarTM and Earth-KindTM Programs in Texas
(2010-10-12)
The environmental horticulture industry, also known as the “Green Industry”, is the second most important sector in the United States’ agricultural economy in terms of economic output and one of the fastest growing segments ...
Managed pressure drilling techniques and tools
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The economics of drilling offshore wells is important as we drill more wells
in deeper water. Drilling-related problems, including stuck pipe, lost circulation,
and excessive mud cost, show the need for better drilling ...
Real-time impluse-based rigid body simulation and rendering
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop and demonstrate a physically based rigid
body simulation with a focus on simplifications to achieve real-time performance.
This thesis aims to demonstrate that by improving the ...
Assessment of uranium-free nitride fuels for spent fuel transmutation in fast reactor systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this work is to investigate the implementation of nitride fuels containing little or no uranium in a fast-spectrum nuclear reactor to reduce the amount of plutonium and minor actinides in spent nuclear fuel ...
Lift-off performance in flexure pivot pad and hybrid bearings
(2009-05-15)
Three flexure pivot pad bearings (FPBs) with different preloads are evaluated for
use in high performance applications by comparing them to a hybrid hydrostatic bearing
(HHB). One application of these bearings is in ...
