Development of a simulation model for analysis of MPOA and LANE networks
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In this thesis a simulation model for inter-Emulated LAN (ELAN) communication using Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) technology is developed. The network traffic generators for the model are discussed on the basis of ...
Investigation of near-infrared spectroscopy for periodic in situ cell culture media determination of glucose and lactate
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Current techniques used to monitor glucose concentration of cell culture media require invasive and tedious handling of the sample for sterile media removal and nutrient replacement. In order to maximize cell culture growth ...
Analysis of a small sample geometry for concurrent identification and quantification of mixed-nuclide samples
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An easier way to perform a complete radionuclide analysis was investigated for this thesis. Complex chemical separations are not always possible or practical in preparation for counting a sample, especially a very small ...
An analysis of international grain freight rates
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Transportation costs are often given little importance in international trade analysis because of inadequate knowledge about the important factors influencing transportation costs. Thus, the primary purpose of this study ...
Instrumental and sensory methods to evaluate texture of wheat flour tortillas during storage
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Subjective reliability, sensory evaluation, and objective rheological techniques characterized wheat flour tortillas on 0, 1, 4, 7, 10 and 13 days of storage. Subjective reliability scores increased during storage (r = ...
Land use in the late prehistoric Post Oak Savannah of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The purpose of this study is to look at land use in the Late Prehistoric period in the Post Oak Savannah of Texas. The goal is to determine the geographic extent of agriculture and what inhibits the extent and degree. In ...
Finite element analysis of a coiled composite tubular
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study presents the design and stress analysis of a composite tubular that can be coiled onto large spools for ease of storage and installation on offshore platforms. The tube is analyzed under working pressure and ...
Centralized algorithms for maintaining connectivity in a mobile ad hoc network
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis focuses on the problem of maintaining connectivity in a mobile ad hoc network (MANET). In a connected MANET, communication is possible between any pair of nodes. The nodes in a mobile ad hoc network are constantly ...
Inhibitory properties of pepsin digested lactoferrin in apple and carrot juice
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Lactoferrin was isolated from raw skim milk and apolactoferrin was prepared from the lactoferrin to test their antimicrobial activity in peptone-yeast-glucose broth. The lactoferrin and the apolactoferrin were digested by ...
Characterization of underground cable incipient failures from on-line monitoring of underground distribution power systems
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
With the imminent re-regulation of the power industry and investor owned utilities becoming more cost conscious, the need for an on-line, non-destructive, incipient cable fault detection system is prevalent. With such an ...
