(2012-10-19)Research focusing on the academic and social experiences of academically gifted, poor, African American male college students has been limited. Recent findings on college persistence stress the role of institutions of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Markov renewal theory, a branch of probability theory, is based on the properties of regeneration points. Roughly speaking, a regeneration point is a random time in a process at which the future development of the process ...

-
(2010-07-14)Storage of carbon dioxide is being actively considered for the reduction of green house gases. To make an impact on the environment CO2 should be put away on the scale of gigatonnes per annum. The storage capacity of deep ...
-
(2017-07-27)Coastal dunes offer many communities around the world a means to naturally mitigate the damage caused by coastal storms. This dissertation will address some of the knowledge gaps concerning the cost effectiveness of dunes ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Developers of construction management information systems have experienced as many failures and disappointments as they have successes. These failures and disappointments can be traced to several sources: the technological ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)The purpose of this investigation is to develop a generalized method of numerical solution of the economic analysis of closed loop systems wherein: (a) Equilibrium operating conditions cannot be readily established by ...
-
(2013-09-28)Coastal Dune systems often are the first line of defense against storm surge and wave attack for coastal infrastructure and communities. The preservation of existing dune systems and the restoration of degraded ones should ...
-
(2009-05-15)This Record of Study (ROS) summarizes the experiences and lessons learned while serving as an intern with Peak Land Consultants (PLC) in Vail, Colorado. The objectives of the internship were designed to provide benefits ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This dissertation answers several questions on sampling and estimation in information processing systems that are in series with k-steps. Two sampling schemes, sampling each step and sampling only output, are investigated. ...
-
(2013-03-18)A need has arisen for an easy-to-use, flexible, transparent, and cross-platform communication backbone for configuration and execution of distributed simulations and experiments. Open source, open architecture, and custom ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)A system of three dimensional partial differential equations in terms of displacements in curvilinear directions is developed to describe the behavior of an orthotropic shell with arbitrary loadings and boundary conditions. ...
-
(2012-08-31)Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education is intended to provide students with a cross-subject, contextual learning experience. In order to more fully prepare our nation's students for entering the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Recent changes in computer technology have made the development of an intelligent tutoring system (ITS) a much more attractive proposition. Reviewing the current educational engineering software, two major deficiencies ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The reuse and maintenance of engineering modeling source code is dependent on the effective communication of the complex ideas on which the software is based. These ideas, usually referred to as the model of the software, ...
-
(2012-10-19)This dissertation examined the perceptions of high-achieving undergraduate Hispanic students majoring in engineering with regard to their academic success. As the largest and fastest growing minority group in the US, ...
-
The very concept of offloading computationally complex routines to a graphics processing unit for general-purpose computing is a problem left wide open to the academic community, both in terms of application as well as ...
-
(2013-01-11)While an abundance of literature addresses undergraduate students’ lack of success in engineering programs, fewer studies examine the persistence of minority females, especially of Latinas in such a male-dominated discipline. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The manufacturing program of studies within the Engineering Technology Department at Texas A&M University has regularly attracted numerous students. Administrators are required to be selective in the admission of students ...
