Womack Hill is one of the 57 Smackover fields throughout the Gulf Coast region. Since its discovery in 1970, Womack Hill Field has produced 30 million STB from the Upper Smackover sequence of carbonate reservoirs. Since ...
A digital autopilot simulator and advisory system for detecting off-nominal behavior
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes the development and the testing of an advisory system for a digital autopilot on the Space Shuttle. A simplified spacecraft attitude control simulator has also been developed and tested using real-time ...
Detection of Rhodococcus equi by polymerase chain reaction using species-specific, non-proprietary primers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Species-specific primers for the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of Rhodococcus equi were developed. These primers were based on unique DNA fragments produced from R. equi reference strains and field ...
Effect of level of dietary calcium and phosphorus on the site of absorption and utilization of phosphorus in gestating and lactating ruminants
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Two digestion trials were conducted to determine the effect of level of Ca and P on the site and extent of absorption of P in gestating and lactating ruminants. Gestating Nubian dairy nannies (n=8; 41-55 kg) with abomasal ...
Bioavailable organic carbon in wetland soils across a broad climogeographic area
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Soils from a broad climogeographic region of the U.S., ranging from Alaska to Louisiana and Texas, were obtained from the NRCS National Soils Laboratory in Lincoln, Nebraska. Soils were also collected in the summer of ...

Flow of fracturing foams in vertical, horizontal and inclined pipes
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Foams are complex mixtures of a gas and a liquid, with the latter being the continuous phase. The rheological properties of foams are strongly influenced by parameters like temperature, absolute pressure, foam quality, ...
Tenderization strategies for individual muscles from beef rounds
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Rounds from twenty yield grade 2 and twenty yield grade 3 carcasses were dissected into cutability components of fat, lean, bone, and connective tissue. Subcutaneous fat, M. gluteobiceps, ishiatic head of M. gluteobiceps, ...
