An analysis of the economic incentives for increased trade in milk and milk products between the United States and Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Considering Mexico's status in recent years as the number one market for U.S. dairy exports, surprisingly little is known about the dairy sector of our southern neighbor. Most studies of the Mexican dairy sector have broadly ...
Transparent process rollback recovery: some new techniques and a portable implementation
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Processes in a distributed system can be made transparently recoverable through the use of process checkpointing, which periodically introduces a relatively large but temporary overhead, or message logging, which introduces ...
A Monte Carlo approach to modeling lost person behavior in wilderness areas using a geographic information system
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Monte Carlo modeling techniques using mean information fields (MIF), developed by Torsten Hagerstrand in the 1950s, were integrated with a geographic information system (GIS) to simulate lost person behavior in wilderness ...
Business and educational partnerships: a study of the International School of the Americas, Northeast Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The purpose of this thesis was to study business and educational partnerships, using the International School of the Americas as a model. This inquiry focuses on the nature of the relationship between the business and ...
Effects of partial lipectomy on body composition and adipose cellularity in the growing chicken (Gallus domesticus)
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Twenty to twenty-four day old broiler chickens either were sham-operated or had abdominal adipose tissue surgically removed to stimulate tissue reaction by the removal of substantial proportions of adipocytes. An unoperated ...
The wit restor'd; or, the critic's rejoinder: a revaluation of William Walsh
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This study revaluates the early eighteenth-century poet and wit William Walsh (1662-1708) through a careful selection and analysis of contexts hitherto neglected in studies of the poet. Walsh's experiments with mediated ...
Development and analysis of a flexible signal phasing strategy for diamond interchange control
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
There are many signal timing strategies for diamond interchanges. Due to the different geometric and traffic conditions, however, none of the available strategies is always optimal. The two most widely used strategies, ...
Refinement of a semi-empirical model for the microwave emissivity of the sea surface as a function of wind speed
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
In 1979, Wilheit introduced a sea surface emissivity model for microwave frequencies. This model is used in a radiative transfer model (RTM) to obtain simulated brightness temperatures for various atmospheric conditions. ...
A CAD tool for the power estimation of CMOS, BiCMOS and BiNMOS gates
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis describes a CAD tool for the power estimation of CMOS, BiCMOS and BiNMOS gates. Using analytical models for the transient behavior of the gates, accurate estimates of the power dissipated by each type of gate ...
Agriculture and the Great Plains: the impact of changes in agricultural policy
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Due to budget constraints, two policies that will be discussed in the 1995 farm bill debate are the conservation reserve program (CRP) and the target price program. The major objective of this study, therefore, was to ...
