Commutators on Banach Spaces
(2010-10-12)
A natural problem that arises in the study of derivations on a Banach algebra is to classify the commutators in the algebra. The problem as stated is too broad and we
will only consider the algebra of operators acting on ...
Analysis of the Pass Cavallo shipwreck assemblage, Matagorda Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A survey conducted in February of 1998 located an anomaly originally believed to be the remains of L'Aimable. L'Aimable was one of four ships utilized by Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, for his voyage to colonize ...
Histological, physical, and chemical factors of various lamb muscles
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Muscles (n = 18) were dissected from each side of twenty lamb carcasses. Muscles from the right sides of the carcasses were used to determine weight, length, width, minimum and maximum thickness, objective color measurements, ...
Novel Isotope Effects and Organic Reaction Mechanisms
(2010-07-14)
A variety of organic reactions provide experimental observations that are not
explained by current models of reactivity and selectivity. This dissertation describes a
combination of experimental and theoretical studies of ...
Numerical Modeling of Nonlinear Coupling between Lines/Beams with Multiple Floating Bodies
(2010-07-14)
Nonlinear coupling problems between the multiple bodies or between the
mooring/riser and the offshore platform are incorporated in the CHARM3D-MultiBody,
