Classification of skin abnormalties using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes a study for the classification of skin abnormalities using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy as part of the goal to provide a computer-assisted tool to dermatologists for lowering the ...
Development of a two-color laser-induced fluorescence based temperature imaging device with micro-scale resolution
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Two-color laser induced fluorescence (LIF) diagnostics techniques were used to map the temperature distribution of fluid moving through a micro-channel. The fluid (de-ionized water) was pumped through a closed-loop system ...
Optical detection of air bubbles trapped in a micro-capillary pore using a laser interferometric backscatter technique
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The laser interferometric backscatter technique has been used to detect the presence of air bubbles trapped inside a micro-capillary pore. A simple experimental setup consists of a low power He-Ne laser, micro-capillary ...
Increasing the robustness of the input-shaping method using adaptive control
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Input-Shaping is a widely used method of suppressing residual vibrations in point-to-point motion of flexible bodies. It is easy to implement and gives good results if the dynamics of the system are known accurately. ...
Priority, property, and determinacy in John Rawl's theory of justice
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
John Rawls is famous, among other things, for defending two principles in his theory of justice. The first seeks to secure many of the traditional rights and liberties familiar in modern liberal democracies, while the ...
Integrin and extracellular matrix interactions at the maternal conceptus interface in pigs
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Osteopontin (OPN), an extracellular matrix protein (ECM), has been hypothesized to bind integrins expressed on the apical surfaces of the conceptus Tr and uterine LE to: 1) stimulate changes in morphology of conceptus Tr ...
On-chip spectrum/vector analyzer for built-in testing of analog integrated circuits
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The number of functions that can be integrated on a single chip has increased during the last years, making the functional testing of circuits a challenging task. Even though the digital testing has reached certain maturity ...
Heat transfer characteristics of circular impinging jet arrays in an annular section with cross flow effects
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Jet impingement has been shown to be an effective method for enhancing convective heat transfer. There are a variety of applications of impinging jets in industry, including tempering and shaping of glass, annealing of ...
The Frisco City sandstone, North Frisco City (Paramount) field, Monroe County, Alabama: a case study of net pay and permeability anisotrophy evaluation related to geology
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Net pay and permeability anisotropy are important parameters when making hydrocarbon reserves estimates. This research focused on the exploration of methods for estimating the net pay and permeability anisotropy of a ...
Contributions to a revision of the Compsoneura capitellata species group (Myristicaceae) through comparative analysis of androecium morphology
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Compsoneura capitellata complex is a group of Neotropical Myristicaceae species that has not received careful study since 1937. Many collections have been generated since that time. In this study, the distribution ...
