Various factors affecting the calibration of alpha track detectors: a Monte Carlo study
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Low levels of indoor radon are frequently monitored using alpha track detectors (ATD). A common detector configuration consists of cellulose nitrate film (Kodak LR-115 II(TM)) enclosed in a cylindrical metallic canister. ...
Measurements of unbalance response in a squeeze film damper test rotor-kit
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Measurements of the unbalance response in a squeeze film damper (SFD) rotorkit are presented. The rotor-SFD test apparatus and instrumentation are fully described. Results from the measurements of the system unbalance ...
An application of the multiple description scalar quantizer to speech coding on correlated fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
utilizing multiple description scalar quantizers (MDSQ) for correlated Rayleigh fading channels. In this thesis, we construct two different types of MDSQ-based systems: a fixed length coding system and a variable length ...
Social performance as a predictor of peer nominations in newly formed groups: a short-term longitudinal study
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
We assessed the predictive ability of social performance as measured by the Checklist of Adolescent Problem Situations (CAPS; Cavell & Kelley, 1995) for peer nominations of likability and four behavioral dimensions. The ...
Enhancement of two-phase flow images obtained using dynamic neutron radiography
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Though both film and video radiographic image techniques are available in neutron radiography, radiographic video cameras are commonly used to capture the dynamic flow patterns in a rapid sequence of images. These images ...
Dissolution and compaction of natural quartz sand as functions of temperature, pore-fluid pressure, and strain
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Experimental studies were conducted using quartz sand and distilled water in a hydrotherinal flow-through system at conditions which simulate diagenesis. The flow-through system can monitor fluid chemistry and time-dependent ...
Aerosol analysis with the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS): the Australasian region
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The Channel 4 data from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), a space-borne radiometer, was analyzed to infer aerosol distributions in the Australasian region for 1979. Monthly, seasonal, and annual composites of the ...
Correlations to determine in-situ stress from open-hole logging data in sandstone reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Knowledge of in-situ stress distribution within reservoir sandstones and the surrounding formations is recognized as one of the most important factors in the design and analysis of hydraulic fractures. In-situ stress ...
Glycosyl tetrazoles as glycosyl donors for the synthesis of 2-deoxy glycosides
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
2-Deoxy oligosaccharides form a major component of biologically active aureolic acid and angucycline antibiotics. The instability of 2-deoxy oligosaccharides and difficulty in controlling their stereoselectivity of coupling ...
Adsorption and desorption of binary mixtures of volatile organic contaminants on soil
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The adsorption equilibria of four volatile organic compounds, n-hexane, toluene, methanol and chlorobenzene on Highbank #4471 soil were measured by a dynamic response technique based on frontal analysis chromatography. The ...
