(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)The (d, ⁶Li) reaction has been studied for targets of ⁴⁰Ca, ³⁹K, ²⁷Al, and ²⁶Mg at an incident energy of 50 MeV. Excitation of the ground state and lowest-lying 2⁺ and 4⁺ states is observed in ³⁶Ar and ²²Ne as well as ...
-
(2012-02-14)Approximately one third of the genes for the completely sequenced bacterial genomes have an unknown, uncertain, or incorrect functional annotation. Approximately 11,000 putative proteins identified from the fully-sequenced ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)We study the ∂-Neumann operator and the Kobayashi metric. We observe that under certain conditions, a higher-dimensional domain fibered over Ω can inherit noncompactness of the d-bar-Neumann operator from the base ...
-
(2011-08-08)Excessive risk-taking is a characteristic of several psychopathological disorders. In order to alleviate maladaptive risky behavior, a thorough understanding of the neurobiological and pharmacological substrates of risky ...
-
(2012-02-14)Digital-to-Analog Converters (DAC) form the feedback element in sigma-delta modulators. Any non-linearity in the DAC directly degrades the linearity of the modulator at low and medium frequencies. Hence, there is a need ...

(2009-06-02)This study utilized two diets (25 and 35% crude protein) fed at 10 different rates to produce differences in shrimp specific growth rate which were regressed against daily digestible protein (DP) and digestible energy (DE) ...
-
(2017-07-14)Growing quality turf in shade is a significant management concern for many turf managers. Proper turfgrass selection for shaded environments can be challenging due to difficulty in quantifying necessary light levels ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1974)The daily movements of brown-headed cowbirds on wintering grounds and ecological factors affecting these movements were examined. Study methods included mark-recapture and direct observation of behavioral patterns. ...
-
(2011-02-22)Surface water availability models often use monthly simulation time steps for reasons of data availability, model parameter parsimony, and reduced computational time. Representing realistic streamflow variability, ...
-
(2019-11-15)Herbaceous, perennial, warm-season native North America legumes can contribute to agricultural objectives. Dalea aurea (golden prairie clover), D. multiflora (roundhead prairie clover), D. purpurea (purple prairie clover) ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Asphalt pavements experience damage due to traffic loading under various environmental conditions. Damage can be caused by viscopl microcracks, fracture due to fatigue cracking, or fracture due to thermal cracking. Asphalt ...
-
(2009-05-15)A finite element model based on the layer-wise theory and the von Kármán type nonlinear strains is used to analyze damage in laminated composite beams. In the formulation, the Heaviside step function is employed to express ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Five species of panicle--feeding bugs were found in commercial sorghum in southeast central Texas: Rice stink bug (Oebalus pugnax F.), southern green stink bug (Nezara viridu la L.), leaffooted bug (Leptoglossus phyllopus ...
-
(2009-06-02)Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted from 2003 to 2006 at the Texas A&M University Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Beaumont and commercial rice fields throughout the Texas Rice Belt with the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1995)The purpose of this thesis was to study the effects of heat treatments on the deformation mechanisms of a SiCi MMC. The damage evolution for a four ply unidirectional SiC sigma fiber/Ti 15-3 MMC was studied for a uniaxial ...
-
Damage Initiation in Unidirectional Polymeric Composites with Manufacturing Induced Irregularities (2018-05-03)In this work, the initiation of the first failure event in unidirectional polymer composites subjected to different loading conditions is studied. Two energy based point failure criteria – critical dilatational and critical ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In polymer matrix composites (PMCs) manufacturing processes can induce de- fects, e.g., voids, fiber misalignment, irregular fiber distribution in the cross-section and broken fibers. The effects of such defects can be ...
-
(2015-08-11)The present work investigates the damping potential of carbon nanotube (CNT) reinforced polymer matrix composites through integrated experiments and continuum modeling techniques. Both “passive" and “active” damping are ...
