Efficient implementation of hough transform on multiprocessors
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Hough Transform (HT) is known to be a powerful technique in shape recognition and motion analysis. On shared-memory multi-processors, Image Partitioning and Parameter Partitioning are data partitioning techniques which ...
Short-term response of herpetofauna to timber harvesting in conjuction with streamside-management zones in seasonally-flooded bottomland-hardwood forests of southeast Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Impacts of selection-cutting and clearcutting on local herpetofauna populations were evaluated. Also, the effectiveness of a streamside-management zone (SMZ) implemented within harvested areas was assessed. Research was ...
The hydraulic piston corer as a tool for the sampling of unconsolidated sediments: its history, applications, limitations, and potential
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Seafloor sediment samples have been collected since antiquity, but techniques for deep-water sediment coring were not developed until the twentieth century. Gravity-driven coring devices were the state of the art until the ...
Microwave emissions from police radar
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate police officers exposures to microwaves emitted by traffic radar units at the ocular and testicular level. Additionally, comparisons were made of the radar manufacturers published ...
Investigation of techniques to build generation system models for reliability evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
For reliability evaluation of power systems, reliability indices are computed. To compute these indices, Generation System Model (GSM) from the generation system and the load model from the load demand information are ...
Covering the story: a rhetorical analysis of Brownsville's television news coverage
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In April 1991, three anencephalic babies were born in Brownsville, Texas during a t"-six hour period. Anencephaly is a neural tube defect prohibiting proper brain development, leaving the baby's skull partially open. The ...
A portable neural network approach to vehicle tracking

Property estimation using inverse methods for elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In this work we use inverse methods to estimate flow coefficients in both elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations. An algorithm is developed to solve a one layer problem for elliptic and parabolic partial ...
Visualization of effect of turbulators on local heat transfer distribution in a 180 degree turn with liquid crystals
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Liquid crystal experiments have been conducted to study the turbulent heat transfer for fully developed flow of air in a two-pass square channel with two opposite walls roughened with parallel and cross arrays of full ribs ...
An innovative concept for deep water oil production platform design
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
As more oil and gas are discovered in deep water, the offshore industry has become increasingly interested in the design of deep water offshore production facilities. A new design concept tentatively called FPSOT (Floating ...
