Relationship of salinity and depth to the water table on Tamarix spp. (Saltcedar) growth and water use.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Saltcedar is an invasive shrub that has moved into western United States riparian areas and is continuing to spread. Saltcedar is a phreatophyte that can utilize a saturated water table for moisture once established and ...
A scripting interface for doubly linked face list based polygonal meshes
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a scripting language interface for modeling manifold meshes represented by a
Doubly Linked Face List (DLFL).With a scripting language users can create procedurally generated
meshes that would otherwise ...
Futurist sculpting: modeling movement in 3D
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Futurist Sculpting is a collection of techniques for representing dynamic motion in a
static three-dimensional model. These techniques allow digital artists to use animation
as a new modeling tool. The idea of Futurist ...
Performance analysis and modeling of GYRO
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Efficient execution of scientific applications requires an understanding of how system features
impact the performance of the application. Performance models provide significant insight into
the performance relationships ...
Modeling of material response during fiber drawing of semicrystalline pet
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Accurate constitutive modeling of polymeric fibers presents a difficult and distinct
challenge. While significant progress has been made in constructing models
applicable for small strains and limited strain-rate and ...
Effective contact of cattle and feral swine facilitating potential foot-and-mouth disease virus transmission in southern Texas, USA rangeland
(2009-05-15)
For the second study, a web-based survey was developed and distributed to all
members of four major health education organizations. A total of 1,925 HEs’ completed
the survey and 1,607 responses were utilized in the final ...
Adsorption of As(V), As(III) and methyl arsenic by calcite and the impact of some groundwater species
(2009-05-15)
The objective of this research was to investigate the retention of arsenate (iAsV),
arsenite (iAsIII), monomethyl arsenate (MMAsV) and dimethyl arsenate (DMAsV) by
calcite and assess the impact of dissolved Ca2+, Mg2+, ...
Thermomechanical modeling of a shape memory polymer
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this work is to demonstrate a Helmholtz potential based approach for
the development of the constitutive equations for a shape memory polymer undergoing
a thermomechanical cycle. The approach is motivated by the ...
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 ...
Modeling the pneumatic subsystem of a S-cam air brake system
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The air brake system is one of the critical components in ensuring the safe operation of any commercial vehicle. This work is directed towards the development of a fault-free model of the pneumatic subsystem of the air ...
