Ductility of lightly reinforced concrete hydraulic structures
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In the past, intake towers built by the Corp of Engineers were designed without consideration of seismic effects. This study investigates an economic approach to determining the ductility of an existing lightly reinforced ...
A new theory for interface spreading
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A new theory for interface spreading during sedimentation of monodisperse suspensions of spheres has been developed. Employing no adjustable parameters, it compares well with new data obtained using magnetic resonance imaging.
Investigations on the sediment chronology and trace metal accumulation in Sabine-Neches estuary, Beaumont, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The accumulation rates of sediments and trace metals (Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) were measured along with the concentrations of Al, Fe, Mn and organic carbon in four sediment cores from Sabine-Neches estuary, near Beaumont, ...
Automatic fine-tuning and wind simulation at the Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC)
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A method for developing an automatic fine-tuning controller for matching a specification in the frequency domain is developed for the wind simulation equipment at the Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC). A test ...
Laser velocimetry study of the flow field in a centrifugal pump with a shrouded impeller
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study provides laser velocimetry measurements of the flow field within a centrifugal pump. The pump had a shrouded impeller of 254 mm diameter with five blades of backswept design. Measurements were made using a ...
Real-time control of PWM voltage source inverters using the TMS320C30 digital signal processing microprocessor
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This thesis presents the implementation of a controller for pulse width modulated voltage-source inversion using a Texas Instruments'TMS32OC30 floatingpoint digital signal processor. The designed controller provides the, ...

A reservoir engineering characterization of the north study area of the C2/VLE-305 reservoir, Lamar Field, Lake Maracaibo, Venezuela
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Reservoir charactefimtion is the key to successful oil field development programs. The recovery efficiency of any reservoir is influenced by its heterogeneities, particularly the distributions of porosity and permeability. ...
Effect of a "major" dwarfing gene on grain yield and other agronomic traits in oat
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Oat (Avena saliva L.) has a severe lodging problem prior to grain ripening. One way to reduce lodging is by reducing plant height. This study was conducted to determine the genetic control of plant height, to evaluate the ...
The conversion of biomass to ethanol and microbial biomass protein
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to two value-added products, microbial biomass protein (MBP) and ethanol, was studied. Bagasse (BAG) was hydrolyzed by Phanarochaete chtysosporium. Excess sugars were utilized by ...
