(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)This study was undertaken to establish a theoretical and experimental base for the interpretation of skin temperature response to applied external loads. This information is applicable to the use of skin temperature as a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Cellular Automata provide a class of formal abstractions of natural systems which have simple components but complex overall behaviors. This study investigated the dynamics of cellular automata from a local perspective and ...
-
The effect of external pressure on the flow rate and recovery time of the terminal lymphatic system (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1985)The effects of external pressure on the relative terminal lymphatic flow rate following occlusion of the lymph 99m system were studied. Sulfur colloid tagged with ^[99m]Tc was injected into the thigh of dogs. Initially, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)A mathematical model to predict separation rates of two phase liquid dispersions coalescing under a.c. fields has been developed. The model consists of a procedural algorithm that includes the effects of film drainage, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)A protocol was developed to test foam wheelchair cushions in the laboratory and clinically and to correlate the results. The laboratory procedure consisted of loading several types of foams at different temperatures, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most commonly occurring neoplastic disease in the aging human male. Currently, surgical treatment of BPH is the primary therapeutic method. However, due to surgical complications, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)A non-deterministic model based on the assumption that the binding of a neurotransmitter to its receptor is a Markov process is developed. This model is capable of describing the kinetic processes that occur when a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)This research investigated a supervised intelligent control of a robot end-effector using an Artificial Neural Network system. This control system performs dexterous control of end-effector for grasping objects interacting ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The objective of this research was to develop and test a closed-loop telemetric intracranial pressure (ICP) sensor system based on a transmissive optical approach. The system was composed of a pressure sensing membrane, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)The traditional bulk elastic modulus has been demonstrated to be unsuitable for a biophysical analysis of plant cell wall elasticity. Because cell walls consist of a polymer material, this study presents an alternative ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Alcohol disrupts the normal function of the oculomotor system causing involuntary abnormal oculomotor responses, generically labeled as alcohol nystagmus. Four distinct ethanol-induced, ocular responses have been described ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The Immobility Reflex (IR ), also known as animal hypnosis and commonly exhibited by many species of animals, is a state of involuntary immobility characterized by decreased muscle tone, inhibited spinal reflexes and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Laser thermal coagulation of biological tissue was studied in an egg white model and in beef tissues using an Argon laser. Understanding the laser coagulation process in biological tissue is essential in order to achieve ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)A Dragon voice recognition system was interfaced with a Tandy robot and tested in a laboratory environment. Problems associated with noise, hardware interface, and speaker inconsistencies were observed. A speech enhancement ...
