Seasonal analysis of abiotic factors impacting phytoplankton assemblages in Offatts Bayou, Galveston, Texas
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this investigation in Offatts Bayou was to quantify natural shifts in
distributions and abundances of algal groups and to examine spatio-temporal patterns of
abiotic and biotic characteristics in the water column ...
Control of new follicular wave emergence and rate of follicular maturation in bos indicus-influenced cattle with estradiol benzoate, temporary calf removal and progesterone
(2009-05-15)
Objectives were to determine: 1) whether estradiol benzoate (EB) provides a superior alternative to GnRH for synchronizing emergence, growth and maturation of a new follicular wave for fixed timed AI (TAI) in Bos ...
Global performance analysis of floating harbor and container ship for loading and offloading operation
(2009-05-15)
The feasibility and general performance of a floating harbor system is studied with regard to the
relative motion of a floating quay and a container ship. A 350[m]× 160[m] box-type barge is
selected as the floating harbor ...
Role of AI-2 in oral biofilm formation using microfluidic devices
(2009-05-15)
Biofilms are highly organized bacterial structures that are attached to a surface.
They are ubiquitous in nature and may be detrimental, causing numerous types of
illnesses in living organisms. Biofilms in the human oral ...

Analyzing risk and uncertainty for improving water distribution system security from malevolent water supply contamination events
(2009-05-15)
Previous efforts to apply risk analysis for water distribution systems (WDS) have
not typically included explicit hydraulic simulations in their methodologies. A risk
classification scheme is here employed for identifying ...

Pursuit and evasion games: semi-direct and cooperative control methods
(2009-05-15)
Pursuit and evasion games have garnered much research attention since the
class of problems was first posed over a half century ago. With wide applicability to
both civilian and military problems, the study of pursuit and ...
Continuous reservoir simulation incorporating uncertainty quantification and real-time data
(2009-05-15)
A significant body of work has demonstrated both the promise and difficulty of
quantifying uncertainty in reservoir simulation forecasts. It is generally accepted that
accurate and complete quantification of uncertainty ...
