ASSOCIATION AMONG FLUID, GRAIN INTAKE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN HOLSTEIN BULL CALVES
(2010-07-14)
This study was conducted to determine water intake. Forty-four Holstein bull calves were evaluated to investigate the effects of starter intake, body weight, temperature and time to predict water intake. A model was developed ...
Analysis of Topological Chaos in Ghost Rod Mixing at Finite Reynolds Numbers Using Spectral Methods
(2011-02-22)
The effect of finite Reynolds numbers on chaotic advection is investigated for two
dimensional lid-driven cavity flows that exhibit topological chaos in the creeping flow
regime. The emphasis in this endeavor is to study ...
Reactor power history from fission product signatures
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this research was to identify fission product signatures that could be used to uniquely identify a specific spent fuel assembly in order to improve international safeguards. This capability would help prevent ...
Adaptive control for Mars atmospheric flight
(2009-05-15)
The new vision for space exploration will focus on sending humans to the moon and eventually to Mars. This endeavor presents new challenges that are critically different from the past experience with robotic missions to ...
Empowering elementary teachers in Texas to prepare their students for the science section of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) 2003
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The need for an effective means of enhancing the science comprehension of elementary teachers brought about changes in the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) exit exam for 5th grade students. The overall goal ...
Development of a Pre-Screening Methodology to Aid in Determining Potential Energy Savings in Commercial Building
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a methodology developed to aid in the determination of
potential sources and the potential scale of energy savings in commercial buildings. As
a pre-screening tool, the methodology is designed to ...
The mixed economy in China: through rhetorical perspective
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Mixed economies gradually emerge in many countries. China is no exception. China's traditional planned economy system is limited to state-owned enterprises, which are undergoing reform. In the private sector, the market ...
Flow assurance and multiphase pumping
(2009-05-15)
A robust understanding and planning of production enhancement and flow assurance is required as petroleum E&P activities are targeting deepwaters and long distances. Different flow assurance issues and their solutions are ...
Mapping textures on 3d terrains: a hybrid cellular automata approach
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
It is a time consuming task to generate textures for large 3D terrain surfaces in
computer games, flight simulations and computer animations. This work explores the
use of cellular automata in the automatic generation of ...
Breeding biology and habitat associations of the Altamira Oriole and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
I studied the breeding biology and nesting ecology of the Altamira Oriole (Icterus gularis) and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet (Camptostoma imberbe), two songbirds inhabiting remnant tracts of Tamaulipan brushland of the ...
