(2017-05-10)A true definition of what agricultural literacy actually means, has yet to be agreed upon by researchers. The agriculture industry, after all, is constantly evolving and changing. As time passes, much of society continues ...
-
(2014-04-03)Several theories and technology acceptance models have been developed over the last several decades to predict user adoption. Most all of the models and theories have a foundation based from psychological and environmental ...
-
(2015-08-05)Government regulations on emission standards and constantly fluctuating fuel availability and prices have led to the need of more readily usable and available models for power generating combustors. A common, versatile, ...
-
(2013-08-08)This study presents different aspects on the use of deterministic methods including Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs), and linear and nonlinear regression, as well as probabilistic methods including Bayesian inference and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Diffusion in liquids is a very important phenomenon in all mass transfer operations. Although there are many correlations available to predict diffusivities in liquids, almost all of these are developed from data at ambient ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The primary purpose of this study was to identify the Horse Theft Awareness and Prevention Initiative (HTAPI) participants and the theft prevention practices used in Texas. The secondary purpose was to evaluate the educational ...
-
(2014-05-05)One of the challenges facing the development of ultra-high burnup fast reactors, such as the Travelling Wave Reactor, is Fuel-Cladding Chemical Interactions (FCCI) between lanthanide fission products and steel cladding ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The purpose of this study was to determine faculty perceptions about factors impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs) at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, ...
-
(2013-03-14)In this thesis we investigate coupling and preconditioning techniques for 19D hybrid neutronics calculations. Each problem is represented by two spatial regions with Sn in one region and either Diffusion (P1) or P3 in the ...
-
(2019-07-26)Characterization of nanostructured bainitic high strength steel revealed austenitic and bainitic-ferritic constituents. Hydrogen diffuses through austenite slower than bainitic ferrite. Discovering the effective hydrogen ...
-
(2023-07-12)This qualitative research study aimed to analyze the psychological and social aspects of Black male football student-athletes’ identity development and how that affects their ability to transition to life after sports and ...
-
(2017-11-20)Agriculture plays a fundamental role in the global economy. To accomplish the economical and feasible improvement in agricultural production, a more complete understanding of how innovations move through different channels ...
-
(2012-02-14)Clad metals are extensively used for their multi-functionality and their optimal combination of quality and cost. Roll bonding is an effective and economic processing approach to making clad metals. This dissertation ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)A mathematical model of a hydrogen/oxygen alkaline fuel cell is presented that can be used to predict the polarization behavior under various power loads. The major limitations to achieving high power densities are indicated ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)A semi-automated vibrating tube densimeter designed for operations between 100 and 700 K and to 70 MPa is described. This densimeter features continuous flow of the sample fluid and a fluid conditioning system that rapidly ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)According to Erik Erikson (1950), adolescents and young adults are highly engaged in the process of identity development with intentions to avoid a state of diffusion and role confusion. Several researchers (e.g., Bordin, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)In this thesis, we discuss the development, implementation and testing of a piecewise linear (PWL) continuous Galerkin finite element method applied to the threedimensional diffusion equation. This discretization is ...
-
(2005-11-01)An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the longitudinal dispersion coefficient in natural streams and rivers. The hydraulic variables [flow discharge (Q), flow depth (H), flow velocity (U), shear ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The Texas rice industry has undergone many changes over the course of the industryÂs existence. Recently, high costs of production and the structure of government payments have contributed to a decreasing trend in rice ...
