A Monte Carlo investigation of robustness to nonnormal incomplete data of multilevel modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Due to its increasing popularity, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has been
used along with structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data with nested
structure. In spite of the extensive research on commonly encountered ...
Simulation of particle agglomeration using dissipative particle dynamics
(2009-05-15)
Attachment of particles to one another due to action of certain inter-particle
forces is called as particle agglomeration. It has applications ranging from efficient
capture of ultra-fine particles generated in coal-burning ...
Economic implications of anaerobic digesters on dairy farms in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Historically, air and water have been considered common property resources and,
therefore, over utilized as waste receptors. Dairy waste is a leading environmental
concern in the North Bosque River watershed in Texas. ...
Methodology for designing the fuzzy resolver for a radial distribution system fault locator
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The Power System Automation Lab at Texas A&M University developed a fault location scheme that can be used for radial distribution systems. When a fault occurs, the scheme executes three stages. In the first stage, all ...
Behavioral ecology and conservation of large mammals: historical distribution, reintroduction and the effects of fragmented habitat
(2009-05-15)
Conservation biologists have used reintroduction as a method to reestablish extirpated species in their native habitat. Three important aspects of a successful reintroduction effort include: (1) a habitat suitability study ...
Quantification of uncertainty in reservoir simulations influenced by varying input geological parameters, Maria Reservoir, CaHu Field
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Finding and developing oil and gas resources requires accurate geological information with which to formulate strategies for exploration and exploitation ventures. When data are scarce, statistical procedures are sometimes ...
An empirical simulation analysis on cotton marketing strategies in west Texas
(2009-05-15)
The three marketing strategies, buying a put option, cash sale at harvest, and cash sale in
June after December harvest, are simulated for six representative irrigated and dryland
cotton farms in West Texas. Each marketing ...
Development of dynamic models of reactive distillation columns for simulation and determination of control
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dynamic models of a reactive distillation column have been developed and implemented in this work. A model describing the steady state behavior of the system has been built in a first step. The results from this steady ...
Towards improved methods for determining porous media multiphase flow functions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The mathematical modeling and simulation of the flow of fluid through porous
media are important in many areas. Relative permeability and capillary pressure
functions are macroscopic properties that are defined within ...
Vehicular racing simulation: a MEL scripting approach
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop an automated technique for controlling the animation of computer-generated cars for the application of motorsports, also known as car racing. The basic idea is similar to previous ...
