Global manufacturing model and case studies
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Recently, globalization has become a common and inevitable experience for a manufacturing company. This research seeks to provide an insight into a company's globally competitive strategies by constructing a global ...
Consecutive scanning scheme: applications to localization and navigation for mobile robots in a dynamic environment
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents a mobile robot localization and obstacle detection algorithm based on consecutive range sensor scans. For a known environment, a mobile robot may scan the environment using a range sensor which can ...
High level power estimation of cache and TLB using complete machine simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The power dissipation of the modern processor has rapidly increased along with increasing transistor counts and clock frequencies. This is detrimental to the battery lifetime in the embedded processor, and also to the ...
Prediction of MPEG-coded video source traffic using neural networks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
One of the most popular standards used for storing, delivering and viewing real-time streaming media over the Internet is MPEG. The time-series representing frame/VOP sizes of an MPEG sequence is extremely noisy and has ...
A new approach to the detail design phase of the IIDE Design Process through insights from software design
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The Engineering Design Process has been described in different ways by means of different approaches. Attempts to compare the Design Process in mechanical engineering with design in other fields have been made. This thesis ...
Charge pumping techniques in ultra-low current transconductor design
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The purpose of this thesis is to introduce the use of interface-trap charge pumping devices (ITCP) in an analog application based in ultra-low-current transconductors. This application naturally exploits the continuous ...
Members' attainment of National FFA leadership and personal growth precepts
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of the National FFA Organization based on the self-perceived leadership skills of members present at the 2001 Washington Leadership Conference. The objective of ...
An interfacial transport theory for electro-chemical phenomena with emphasis on electric double layers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Interfacial equations are derived for the species mass balance, the conservation of charge, Gauss law, the quasi-static form of Faraday's law, the balance of linear and angular momentum, and the first and second laws of ...
A generalized nutrition model for Odocoileus deer and its application in a natural environment
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A model of protein and energy balance was created for Odocoileus deer [white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), mule deer (O. hemionus), and black-tailed deer (O. h. columbianus, O. h. sitkensis)] capable of predicting ...
Walden's Paths quiz: system design and implementation
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes the motivation for online testing, compares the effectiveness of online tests versus conventional tests and outlines the features of online-testing mechanisms. It details the features and implementation ...
