From hatemonger to hero: the rhetorical transformation of Malcolm X
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Since Malcolm X first emerged onto the American political landscape in the late 1950s, he has received much attention. Identifying and comprehending the significant narratives, ideographs, and characterizations within the ...
The feds and enviros can't tell us who we are: a discourse analysis of identity resistance strategies of public lands ranchers
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The purpose of this study was to examine how the social identities of public lands ranchers engaged in conflict with a government agency and environmental interest groups were discursively constructed and resisted within ...
Experimental study of the transition from brittle shear fractures to joints
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Current geologic thinking is that there are two, and only two, distinct types of brittle fractures, joints and shear fractures (faults). For over half a century, it has been debated that a third type of fracture, referred ...
Radiation induced strand breakage analyzed by tunel technique
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The objective of this research is to fully characterize the effectiveness and limits of using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated biotin-dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) technique for analysis of radiation ...
A three dimensional simulation of a thermal experiment conducted on an accelerator driven system target model concept
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Accelerator transmutation of waste (ATW) is a new concept that would destroy actinides in spent fuel and produce electrical power. This study explores the possibility of modeling the thermo-hydraulics of this system with ...
Kinetica: creating real-time digital sculpture in the historical context of kinetic art
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
While science and art are often perceived as being dichotomous, the synthesis of the two provides an exciting arena for new expression and cultural advancement. The tradition of kinetic art provides precedence for the ...
A switched capacitor, fourth-order bandpass sigma-delta modulator for 20MHz IF digitization
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The past few years have witnessed an explosive growth of wireless applications for mobile communications and wireless networking. With modern sub-micron technologies, it is feasible to achieve complete integration of the ...
Experimental and simulation studies of water-alternating-enriched gas injection for San Francisco Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis presents a complete investigation involving experimental and compositional reservoir simulation studies into enriched gas injection as a method to enhance oil recovery from the San Francisco field in Colombia. ...
Quantify shape, angularity and surface texture of aggregates using image analysis and study their effect on performance
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
There is a consensus among researchers that the aggregate shape properties affect performance, but a debate has risen over the suitability of these physical tests to quantify the related shape property. Most of these ...
Effect of homogenization pressure and whey protein source on rheological properties of heat-set whey protein emulsion gels
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Emulsions with 10% protein and 20% butter oil were prepared by dispersing sweet whey protein concentrate (SWPC), acid whey protein concentrate (AWPC), or AWPC + glycomacropeptide (GMP) in distilled water with butteroil. ...
