Classification concepts from object oriented software design applied to engineering design
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The objectives of this research were to study and explore Object Oriented Design, as applied in software design, and identify those principles and concepts that could be applied in engineering design to make it more ...
Tenancy and sharecropping in Brazos and Burleson Counties
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Tenancy and sharecropping played a crucial role in the development of the cotton culture of Brazos and Burleson Counties, after slavery. It was a way of life for thousands of farm families, and as miserable as the conditions ...
Calculation of unsteady turbulent flow around obstacles using the large eddy simulation turbulence model
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The premise of the work presented here is to use a common analytical tool, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), along with a prevalent turbulence model, Large Eddy Simulation (LES), to study the flow past rectangular ...
Relationships between mechanical tenderness measurements and trained sensory panel attributes of beef Longissimus lumborum muscle
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Beef cattle (n = 62) were slaughtered and two strip loins (IMPS #180) were removed 48 h post mortem. Loins were subsequently vacuum packaged, aged 14 d at 5°C and cut into 2.54 cm thick steaks. Within each animal, steaks ...
Intelligent Whale: a historical and archaeological analysis of an American Civil War submersible
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The topic of this thesis is an American Civil War submersible known as the Intelligent Whale. Construction of the vessel began in 1863, but due to several obstacles it was not completed until 1869. Failing an open water ...
Improved freezing level retrieval
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
TRMM Microwave Imager(TMI)-based passive microwave retrieval techniques result in biased estimates of the freezing level and rainfall over the east Pacific in the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). Passive microwave ...
An examination of the relationship between goal orientation and leadership effectiveness
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Despite long-standing claims that traits are ineffective predictors of leadership, some recent studies have demonstrated empirical support for traits as significant predictors of leadership effectiveness (e.g., Judge, Bono, ...
Modeling La Belle: Reconstruction of a seventeenth-century light frigate
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis describes the construction of two models of La Belle, a light frigate constructed in France during the late seventeenth century. The archaeological remains of La Belle are important as a unique example of a ...
A spillway infrastructure for defense against Distributed Denial of Service attacks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks have proven to be disruptive forces on the Internet. There is currently no means of defense from such attacks, as they are exploitations of mechanisms that are critical for ...
The effects of insulin-like growth factor-1 in prepubertal ovarian estradiol secretion
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Previously, it has been shown that insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) of peripheral origin acts centrally to stimulate the secretion of luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) during the onset of puberty. This ...
