(United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1996-06-18)Flat or curved micro heat pipe panels are fabricated by arranging essentially parallel filaments in the shape of the desired panel. The configuration of the filaments corresponds to the desired configuration of the tubes ...
-
(2012-07-16)Advanced aluminum graphite composites have unique thermal properties due to opposing coefficients of thermal expansion of aluminum and graphite. The thermal and mechanical properties of such composites are anisotropic due ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 2012)The overall efficiency of the Continuous Commissioning (CC) process relies on the interactions of the commissioning team, the building owner, and the building operators. At times the process may be hindered by the traditional ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Loop heat pipes seem a promising approach for application in modern technologies where such thermal devices as cooling fans and radiators cannot satisfy overall requirements. Even though a loop heat pipe has a big potential ...
-
(2022-12-12)In this dissertation, I apply a suite of electron microscopy techniques to investigate aspects of aqueous alteration of volcanic glass (ash and basalt), in coastal settings. The first chapter investigates the fate of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)This thesis includes two parts. The first part reviews the history and fundamentals of surface science and tribology. The second part presents the major research outcomes and contributions. This research explores the aspects ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1999)Studies are underway to increase production of camptothecin (CPT), a monoterpene alkaloid with proven anticancer properties in its natural source, Camptotheca acuminate, a tree indigenous to China. Several semi-synthetic ...
-
(2011-10-21)This thesis presents the development of a micro-aspirator chip using vacuum expanded microchannels for mechanical characterization of single cells. Mechanical properties of cells can offer valuable insights into the ...
-
(2009-05-15)Prediction of bubble formation during filling of microchambers is often critical for determining the efficacy of microfluidic devices in various applications. In this study experimental validation is performed to verify ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1980)A microcomputer-based control system utilizing a distributed intelligence architecture has been developed to control combustion in hydrocarbon fuel-fired boilers and heaters to significantly reduce fuel usage. The system ...
-
(2016-12-09)Carbonate rocks have complex heterogeneities that result from syn- and post-depositional stressors. These heterogeneities invariably affect the movement of fluid through the formation. When considering an acid treatment ...
-
(2020-01-09)This study investigated the reduced platen compression (RPC) test of the distal femur metaphysis (DFM) of adult male rats. The objectives were to develop a finite element (FE) mesh generation algorithm that would take ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)Since aggregation's first in-depth treatment by Theil (1954), it has been widely recognized that testing and evaluating micro-theory with aggregated data had a direct influence on parameter estimates, attendant conclusions, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The objective of the proposed thesis is the introduction and development of micro-scale particle image velocimetry ([u]-PIV) to study the micro-scale flow field in the electroosmotic flow, which is the flow produced by the ...
-
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993-03-02)A micro-heat-pipe catheter provides a hyperthermia or hypothermia source for the treatment of cancerous tumors or other diseased tissue. The heat-pipe is about the size of a hypodermic needle and is thermally insulated ...
-
(Energy Systems Laboratory (http://esl.tamu.edu); Texas A&M University (http://www.tamu.edu), 1994)A common lighting project is to evaluate a block of rooms for savings and payback from the use of photocells or occupancy sensors. The designer counts the fixtures to be controlled, calculates the watts used and then the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)Along one transect in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean the micro-phytoplankton (>15 gm in one dimension) biomass in the upper 200 in was examined. The samples were taken during the most recent El Nifio event and examined ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1994)Micro-phytoplankton (>20 gm cell size) was sampled in the upper 200 m of the water column at the Pacific equator, 140'W, during two JGOFS EqPac Time Series Studies, in order to determine the changes in the micro-phytoplanlcton ...
