(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Currently, some methods for implementing facial animation systems are based on a direct subphonemic mapping of speech acoustics onto orofacial motion. Although these systems provide all of the necessary components for the ...
-
(2015-09-03)Common navigation algorithms like A* or D* Lite rely on costs to determine an optimal path. Costs may incorporate distance, time, or energy consumption; however, they can include anything that affects travel along a path. ...
-
The new operational conditions associated with the high luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN requires an upgrade of the muon system in the forward region of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector. ...
-
(1994)In manufacturing systems, there exists a trade-off between speed and accuracy. The faster a system is allowed to move, the higher the rate of production, however this is at the expense of decreased quality. This project ...
-
(2009-09-30)This thesis reports on recent advances made in real-time intruder detection for an intrusion system developed at Texas A&M University that utilizes a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer. The system uses light ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Computers today employ simulations of physical phenomena such as wind and fire and other physical properties in many common applications, including programs meant for training and entertainment. We focus particularly on ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) facilitate the bidirectional transport of a myriad of molecules, ranging in size from an ion to assembled ribosomal subunits, across the two lipid bilayers that constitute the nuclear envelope ...
-
(2014-12-10)This paper uses data from smart meter technology to estimate the occurrence of energy rebound, a “substitution” and “income’ effect where the price-per-use of an appliance falls relative to its energy efficiency. This ...
-
(2019-05-03)This research aims to identify the climate change and air pollution emissions impact on renewable energy resources, specifically for solar energy availability. We analyzed meteorological reanalysis data of solar radiation ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)A considerable number of British women writers have drawn on fairy tale narratives or themes in contemporary works from the late 1970's to the early 1990's. This trend is surprising because fairy tales have been criticized ...
-
The electroencephalogram (EEG) signals are a measurable brain electrical activity. EEG signals can be used to detect and classify motion intention of any voluntary action. Successful detection of EEG signals and classification ...
-
Organic Chemistry is a challenging subject that requires dedicated practice to learn the meticulous rules composing the subject, otherwise a student risks failure. Current software to teach chemical structures contains ...
-
(2017-04-27)Many fatal car accidents involve victims who were not wearing a seatbelt, even though systems for detecting such behavior and intervening to correct it already exist. Activity recognition using wearable sensors has been ...
-
The Ixodes scapularis tick is a medically important vector of five out of the 15 reportable human tick borne disease agents, making it a great concern to public health. In order to develop vaccines against tick borne disease ...
-
Reconfigurable microstrip patch antennas are useful in many applications including satellite communications, navigation, radar, and radio. The purpose of this project is to design a reconfigurable antenna to be embedded ...
-
(2015-10-02)The design and excitation of a liquid metal alloy antenna embedded into structural composite panel is studied. The alloy resides in micro-channels embedded into the composite that allows it to be pumped in and out of the ...
-
(2020-04-16)Paleoclimate reconstructions allow us to build a better picture of how climate has changed over time. However, relatively little research has been done in the higher latitudes of the southern hemisphere, leaving a gap in ...
-
(2018-05-01)Language and control in children’s literature is a major topic of discussion within the field of children’s literature. While the full extent of the effects of children’s literature on shaping children’s worldviews is ...
-
(1982)In July of 1981, 150 Galveston Island beach users were interviewed to determine their recreational and tourism tendencies. The research was done to aid in the development of marketing strategies of recreational and tourism ...
-
(2015-09-24)Chlorosilanes are common protecting groups. However, in use, they introduce an extra step and after use they are discarded. As part of an effort to make these species’ use greener, we have been exploring effective ways ...
