Civil aviation and technogeopolitics: the struggle for control of world air routes, 1910-1939
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis examines the development of international civil aviation from 1910 to 1939 at four international conferences from 1910 to 1928. The impact of civil aviation technology on the geopolitical position of the United ...
Operation of water supply reservoirs for flood mitigation : hydrologic and institutional considerations
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Additional demands are being placed upon reservoirs to meet a variety of diverse needs. These demands require efficient management of the limited storage through reservoir operations. This efficiency is most critical with ...
Inter-group relationships and networks in an outdoor recreation setting
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This exploratory study examined the information sharing processes between groups of recreationists at two outdoor recreation settings in Sam Houston National Forest. The primary objective of this study was to develop theory ...
Accumulation and replacement of exchangeable sodium in soils of Southeast Texas under turfgrass and its effect on soil infiltration rate
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Many municipal water supplies in Southeast Texas have a relatively high level of Ne and low total dissolved solids. Smectitic clays which respond to wetting by swelling, especially when wetted with high Na waters of low ...
Sedimentology, sediment dispersal patterns, and stratigraphic architecture of progradational carbonate sand bodies, lower Lake Valley Formation (Mississippian), Sacramento Mountains, south-central New Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The Alamogordo, Nunn, and Tierra Blanca Members of the Lake Valley Formation comprise one of at least four transgressive-regressive sequences found within Mississippian strata of the Sacramento Mountains, south-central New ...
A comparative analysis of early Medieval shipwrecks from the southern shores of the Baltic Sea
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Most shipwrecks discovered on the southern shore of the Baltic have been attributed a Scandinavian or Germanic origin. However, the archaeological data corroborated in a concise comparative analysis reveal the commonness ...
Impingement cooling and heat transfer measurement using transient liquid crystal technique
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A heat transfer study on jet impingement cooling is presented. The study focuses on the effect of impingement jet flow rate, jet angle, and flow exit direction on various target surface heat transfer distributions. A ...
Analytical and experimental procedures in nonlinear viscoelastic parameter characterization using dynamic mechanical techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traditional methods of viscoelastic material characterization lack the ability to rapidly characterize nonlinear viscoelastic materials. A method of rapidly identifying linear viscoelastic material properties is Dynamic ...
Ethnic identification among blacks and whites
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Two central questions drive this research: (1) Are there trends in ethnic identification among blacks and whites; and (2) Are there meaningful differences between groups that identify differently? I use descriptive and ...
The influence of wearing the Oxylog instrument on estimated maximal aerobic capacity during a step test and heart rate in a lifting test
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This study investigated the influence of wearing the Oxylog mask, and heart rate monitor while the Oxylog instrument is supported in a stand versus that of wearing the Oxylog mask, heart rate monitor, and the Oxylog ...
