The influence of DCAPE on supercell dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The role of environmental variables such as vertical wind shear and updraft Convective Available Potential Energy (CAPE) in creating supercell thunderstorms has been well established. However, there are currently no ...
On the internet grouping for reliable multicasting
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Current implementation of multicasting is using UDP protocol which is unreliable. There are many problems in reliable multicasting that make it difficult to implement. A study of the problems of reliable multicasting and ...
Mechanical loading attenuates loss of bone mass and bone strength induced by immobilization and calcium-deficiency
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Immobilization and calcium-deficiency have been documented to cause a decrease in strength and bone mineral loss, and exercise is known to strengthen bone. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of mechanical ...
An investigation of the use of tire rubber in asphalt
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The use of asphalt-rubber has been mandated without the needed experience, design procedures, and construction guidelines. The purpose of this study is to determine optimal blend parameters that will enable maximum performance ...
Experimental studies on the bioaccumulation and bioavailability of colloidally-bound trace metals to penaeid shrimp
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Trace metals in estuarine systems frequently exist as colloid-ion complexes and the chemical characteristics of these complexes may alter their bioavailability. The relative hydrophobicity of the colloid-ion complex could ...
Effect of high pressure homogenization on the milk fat globule membrane and its relation with the emulsion stability of milk
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Milk with 1.5 or 3.0% milk fat was heated at 65'C for 30 min or 85'C for 20 min and homogenized at 0, 30, 60, and 90 MPa. Cream was separated form the homogenized milk using centrifugation at 10,500 x g for 30 min and ...
Egypt's population policies and family planning program: a critical examination
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Egypt's national family planning program, in existence since 1965, has been fairly successful in increasing the use of family planning methods and lowering the population growth rate in Egypt. However, the fact that as few ...
Response of plasma and salivary cortisol to the administration of single or multiple injections of ACTH in barrows
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Two experiments were designed to determine if salivary cortisol can be used instead of total plasma cortisol measurements in pigs. In Exp. I., seven barrows averaging I I wk and 25 kg were assigned to the following treatments: ...
Tectonic evolution of the southwestern Black Sea margin, offshore Turkey
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The southwestern margin of the Black Sea was under the influence of a regional extensional tectonic regime behind an island arc during Late Cretaceous time. During this period, andesitic submarine volcanics covered the ...
Evolution and preservation of closed linear troughs in the Hueco bolson of west Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
In the northwest Hueco bolson (basin), in west Texas, and in the southern Tularosa and Mesilla bolsons of New Mexico, sets of longitudinal depressions join to form large closed linear troughs. In the Hueco and Tularosa ...
