Analysis of the Temporal Evolution of Thermal Conductivity in Alumina-Water Nanofluid
(2009-09-30)
In this effort, the temporal behavior of a manufactured alumina (Al2O3) – water nanofluid was evaluated. Measurements of nanofluid effective thermal conductivity were acquired over an extended time period. Analysis of ...
Concurrency in a System for Symbolic and Algebraic Computations
(2009-06-09)
As miniaturization of computer components is approaching the limits of physics, researchers in computer architecture are looking for less conventional means to perpetuate Moore's law. Recent trends in hardware ve been ...
Grain Growth in Niobium for Superconducting Radio Frequency Cavities
(2009-06-09)
This project explores the grain growth characteristics and grain morphology of bulk
niobium (Nb) processed by severe plastic deformation (SPD). This report deals with
factors affecting grain growth and recrystallization: ...
Global Climatic and Stable Isotopic Correlations During the Early Permian (Cisuralian)
(2009-06-09)
The early Permian was an interval when cool, glaciated conditions, similar to those of the present-day, shifted to warm, non-glaciated conditions. As a result, climatological information about this time period is pertinent ...
COOPERATIVE AND SUPERVISORY CONTROL FOR PAYLOAD MANIPULATION
(2009-06-09)
There are many tasks done by humans today that could be done by robots. One
environment where robots are especially useful is space. Because of the limitations of
astronauts, robots could be sent to a planetary environment ...
Implementing Rainwater Harvesting Systems on the Texas A&M Campus for Irrigation Purposes: A Feasibility Study
(2009-06-09)
Increasing population and increasing urbanization threatens both the health and availability of water resources. The volume and timing of water that is readily available may not be sufficient to supply the demand for ...
Capacitive Stress Gauges in Model Dipole Magnets
(2009-06-09)
Capacitive transducers are used to measure mechanical stress in the windings of superconducting magnets. The transducer consists of a bonded laminate of alternating thin foils of stainless steel and high-strength polymer ...
Identification of a Novel Phytoestrogen: Trigonelline
(2009-09-30)
Coffee contains many bioactive compounds, one of which is trigonelline (TRG). Few studies have been performed to ascertain its effects on mammalian cells. However, TRG has been shown to have antimicrobial properties ...
Foodborne Sources of Bacteria Associated With Human Obesity
(2009-09-30)
Recently published research has suggested that the microbial ecology of the digestive system may play a role in obesity. Obese people have been shown to have a higher proportion of bacteria from the Firmicutes division and ...
