(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This thesis will examine the individual and the community. The question will be, what effect does the community have on the individual, and whether or not this limits individuals development and personal freedom. I will ...
Influences of vegetation characteristics and invertebrate abundance of Rio Grande wild turkey populations, Edwards Plateau, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Since 1970, Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallapavo intermedia) numbers in the southern region of the Edwards Plateau of Texas have been declining. Nest-site characteristics and invertebrate abundance were hypothesized ...
Two algorithms for leader election and network size estimation in mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
We develop two algorithms for important problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). A MANET is a collection of mobile processors (nodes) which communicate via message passing over wireless links. Each node can communicate ...
Mating flight initiation and nutritional status of Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) alates infected with Thelohania solenopsae (Microsporida: Thelohaniidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Allen and Hazard, is a microsporidian pathogen that infects the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren. This four part study examined the effects that T. solenopsae had on fire ant ...

Cooperative self-localization in a multi-robot-no-landmark scenario using fuzzy logic
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this thesis, we develop a method using fuzzy logic to do cooperative localization. In a group of robots, at a given instant, each robot gives crisp pose estimates for all the other robots. These crisp pose values are ...
Wall-pressure and PIV analysis for microbubble drag reduction investigation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The effects of microbubbles injection in the boundary layer of a turbulent channel flow are investigated. Electrolysis demonstrated to be an effective method to produce microbubbles with an average diameter of 30 ??m and ...
Physically based simulation of explosions
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This thesis describes a method for using physically based techniques to model an explosion and the resulting side effects. Explosions are some of the most visually exciting phenomena known to humankind and have become ...

Lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) numbers have
declined considerably in Texas since the early 1900s. As with other prairie chicken
species, reasons for declining ranges and numbers have been attributed ...
