Ion exchange behavior among metal trisilicates: probing selectivity, structures, and mechanism
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
One model system for the investigation of selectivity in inorganic ion exchangers
is a group of synthetic analogues of the mineral umbite. Hydrothermally synthesized
trisilicates with the general form A2BSi3O9.H2O, where ...
Measuring optical absorption coefficient of pure water in UV using the integrating cavity absorption meter.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The integrating cavity absorption meter (ICAM) has been used successfully to measure
the low absorption coefficient of pure water. The ICAM produces an effective total path
length of several meters or even longer, although ...
Forecasting the financial trends facing intercollegiate athletic programs of public institutions as identified by athletic directors of the ACC, Big 12 and SEC Conferences
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The purpose of this research was to provide a forecast of financial trends in
major intercollegiate athletics over the next 15 years for strategic planning purposes.
This study focused specifically on the trends of revenue ...
Connecting the role of school superintendents to teaching and learning in schools: a research synthesis of three educational administration peer reviewed research journals between 1983-2006
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This exploratory synthesis of research was the product of three years of
dissertation research efforts that systematically reviewed 23 years of empirical articles
between 1983 (or its inception) and 2006 from three of ...
Environmentally related water trading, transfers and environmental flows: welfare, water demand and flows
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This dissertation reports on economic studies of Texas Interbasin Water Transfers
(IBT) as a way to lessen expected water shortages, Texas minimum freshwater inflows
requirements (FWIB) to protect environmental flows and ...
Stable and scalable congestion control for high-speed heterogeneous networks
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
For any congestion control mechanisms, the most fundamental design objectives
are stability and scalability. However, achieving both properties are very challenging
in such a heterogeneous environment as the Internet. ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing are performed to circumvent the difficulties
of efficient mixing, which come from the lack of turbulence in microfluidic devices. In order to
carry out efficient and ...
Fast history matching of time-lapse seismic and production data for high resolution models
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Integrated reservoir modeling has become an important part of day-to-day
decision analysis in oil and gas management practices. A very attractive and promising
technology is the use of time-lapse or 4D seismic as an ...
On the same team? a qualitative study of female sportswriters' attitudes on covering women's athletics
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Women's athletics regularly receives less media coverage than men's athletics,
and female athletes are often portrayed in ways that de-emphasize their athletic abilities.
Previous researchers have suggested that increasing ...
Effective algorithms and protocols for wireless networking: a topological approach
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Much research has been done on wireless sensor networks. However, most protocols
and algorithms for such networks are based on the ideal model Unit Disk Graph
(UDG) model or do not assume any model. Furthermore, many ...
