Mapping textures on 3d terrains: a hybrid cellular automata approach
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
It is a time consuming task to generate textures for large 3D terrain surfaces in
computer games, flight simulations and computer animations. This work explores the
use of cellular automata in the automatic generation of ...
A new structural subclass of constrained geometry catalysts for the polymerization of olefins
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The sterically expanded octamethyloctahydrodibenzofluorene moiety, C29H38
(Oct), has been incorporated into ansa-metallocenes and constrained geometry catalysts
(CGC's). Utilization of this sterically expanded version of ...
Electronic structure of dimetal bonded systems: ditungsten, dimolybdenum and diruthenium systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation investigates three topics in the field of multiple-bonded metal chemistry.
The first topic concerns the synthetic and theoretical considerations of ditungsten
formamidinates and guanidinates compounds. ...
Breeding biology and habitat associations of the Altamira Oriole and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
I studied the breeding biology and nesting ecology of the Altamira Oriole (Icterus gularis) and Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet (Camptostoma imberbe), two songbirds inhabiting remnant tracts of Tamaulipan brushland of the ...
Development of tandem time-of-flight instrumentation for the examination of prompt photodissociation of peptides using 193-nm radiation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The design and incorporation of a decelerating/accelerating cell into a reflectron
time-of-flight mass spectrometer is described for the examination of promptly-formed
photodissociation products of peptide ions. The ...
Control of cell division by nutrients, and ER stress signaling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Cell cycle progression of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells was monitored in
continuous cultures limited for glucose or nitrogen. The G1 cell cycle phase, before
initiation of DNA replication, did not exclusively expand when ...
Detecting Tangled Logic Structures in VLSI Netlists
(2010-10-12)
This thesis proposes a new problem of identifying large and tangled logic structures in a
synthesized netlist. Large groups of cells that are highly interconnected to each other can
often create potential routing hotspots ...
Application and modeling of near-infrared frequency domain photon migration for monitoring pharmaceutical powder blending operations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Frequency domain photon migration consists of launching an intensitymodulated
near-infrared light into the powder medium and measuring the amplitude,
mean-intensity, and phase shift of detected intensity modulated light ...
The role of stress in recovery of function after spinal cord injury
(2009-05-15)
Research has shown that exposure to just 6 minutes of uncontrollable shock 24
hours following contusion injury impairs locomotor recovery and leads to greater tissue
loss at the injury epicenter. Uncontrollable shock is ...
Characterization of asphalt concrete using anisotropic damage viscoelastic-viscoplastic model
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation presents the integration of a damage viscoelastic constitutive
relationship with a viscoplastic relationship in order to develop a comprehensive
anisotropic damage viscoelastic-viscoplastic model that is ...
