Economic impacts of wild hogs on selected Texas agriculture operations
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
At the present, wild hogs exist in Texas in free-ranging populations numbering in the millions. These populations continue to expand, and now are pervasive in almost all land resource areas of the state. Wild hogs have a ...
Development of a high-frame-rate high-resolution particle image velocimetry system and applications to the characterization of synthetic jet actuators
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis presents the hardware development for two high-frame-rate particle image velocimetry systems. One of them is based on the use of a high-speed film camera, with a frame-rate of up to 10,000 frames per second and ...
Determination of phosphorus composition and availability from various feedstuffs to channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus)
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The availability of phosphorus in fish diets is an raphics. important consideration in aquaculture because phosphorus excretion by fish may influence eutrophication of the culture system or receiving water, as phosphorus ...
Development of an ion drift chamber for Laser Induced Fluorescence studies
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The use of Laser Induced Fluorescence to image ions in a gas has been proposed for a possible new type of subatomic particle detector.1 As a means to investigate this idea, an ion drift chamber has been developed that ...
Cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics of warm season Mesoscale Convection Systems in the Central United States: 1992-1993
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This study provides a detailed analysis of cloud-to-aphics. ground (CG) lightning flashes within individual Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) that occurred in the Central United States during May-August of 1992 and 1993. ...
Effects of alternative container media components on the growth of selected under-utilized small ornamental trees
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
From a candidate list of sixteen under-utilized Small trees, four taxa were identified for study to determine if they were adaptable for 2.6 L and 15 L container production, in Comparison to a commonly produced small tree ...
Application of the genetic algorithm for global scheduling and a single machine scheduling problem with periodic maintenance and semiresumable jobs
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis considers two different scheduling problems in industrial settings. The first problem consists of minimizing the total completion time of jobs scheduled on a single machine that must undergo periodic maintenance. ...
Dynamic analysis of a semisubmersible-type bucket-ladder dredge
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A Semisubmersible-type bucket ladder dredge is a possible candidate to satisfy the need of PT Timah (Indonesia tin mining company) to exploit tin deposits in water depths of 50 m and deeper. The existing vessel used by ...
Pressure and momentum field investigation of a centrifugal pump through dynamic loading of a semi-open impeller
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A study was performed to investigate the variation in the forces and moments acting on the front and back sides of a semi-open impeller. Three rotational speeds and five volumetric flow rates for each speed were identified ...
GIS and plume dispersion modeling for population exposure assessment
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The use of Pollutant Plume Dispersion Models is widespread in the evaluation of point sources of air pollution. These models provide valuable insight into the concentration and dispersion of hazardous materials throughout ...
