Bayesian model-based approaches with MCMC computation to some bioinformatics problems
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Bioinformatics applications can address the transfer of information at several stages
of the central dogma of molecular biology, including transcription and translation.
This dissertation focuses on using Bayesian models ...
Wall-pressure and PIV analysis for microbubble drag reduction investigation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The effects of microbubbles injection in the boundary layer of a turbulent channel flow are investigated. Electrolysis demonstrated to be an effective method to produce microbubbles with an average diameter of 30 ??m and ...
Physically based simulation of explosions
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This thesis describes a method for using physically based techniques to model an explosion and the resulting side effects. Explosions are some of the most visually exciting phenomena known to humankind and have become ...
Survival, seasonal movements, and cover use by lesser prairie chickens in the Texas Panhandle
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) numbers have
declined considerably in Texas since the early 1900s. As with other prairie chicken
species, reasons for declining ranges and numbers have been attributed ...
Theory versus experiment of the rotordynamic and leakage characteristics of smooth annular bushing oil seals
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This thesis provides a comparison of experimental rotordynamic coefficients for
laminar, smooth bushing oil seals to theoretical predictions from XLLubeGT and
XLAnSeal. The experimental results come from a new test rig ...
A comparison of traditional and web-based floral design courses
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
As technology has advanced, corporations, government entities, and institutions of higher education have all begun experimenting with online classes and training. In colleges and universities around the world, everything ...
Bulk-Flow analysis for force and moment coefficients of a shrouded centrifugal compressor impeller
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
An analysis is developed for a compressible bulk-flow model of the leakage path
between a centrifugal compressor's impeller shroud and housing along the front and back
side of the impeller. This is an extension of analysis ...
Characterization and assessment of uncertainty in San Juan Reservoir Santa Rosa Field
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study proposes a new, easily applied method to quantify uncertainty in production forecasts for a volumetric gas reservoir based on a material balance model (p/z vs. Gp). The new method uses only observed data and ...
Developing a web accessible integrated database and visualization tool for bovine quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is the location of a gene that affects a trait that is measured on a quantitative (linear) scale. Many important agricultural traits such as weight gain, milk fat content and intramuscular ...
High resolution linkage and association study of quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
As a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite
markers are available, high resolution mapping employing multiple markers or
multiple allele markers is an important step to identify quantitative ...
