Subpage migration and replication in CC-NUMA multiprocessors
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis deals with the issue of large memory access times in cache coherent non uniform memory access architecture multiprocessor systems. Specifically this thesis addresses the problems of false sharing and poor ...
Subsurface drip systems for land application of residential wastewater
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this project was to install two subsurface drip systems and provide a preliminary evaluation of their performance for land application of domestic wastewater. Subsurface drip systems were installed at two sites, ...
Calcite dissolution and Ca/Na ion-exchange reactions in columns with different flow rates through high ESR soil
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The leaching of a Na⁺-affected calcareous soil with water results in two concurrent recesses: (i) CaCO₃ dissolution, and (ii) replacement of Na⁺ on the cation-exchange complex by Ca²⁺. In the current study, Woodward soil ...
Habitat selection and thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, the alligator snapping turtle (Macroclemys temminckii)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Microhabitat selection, physiology, and body size all at-fed thermal biology of ectotherms. In this study, I determined the influence of these variables on the thermal biology of a large aquatic ectotherm, Macroclemys ...
Investigation of sand consolidation using steam for the Tar Zone, Wilmington field, California
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An experimental study was carried out to better understand and optimize the process of sand consolidation using high-pH steam in wells of the Wilmington field, California. The apparatus consisted of a vertical 18 in. long ...
A census of precipitation features in the tropics using TRMM: radar, ice scattering, and lightning observations
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The observation of precipitation in the tropics has been greatly enhanced trough the launch of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite n 1997. TRMM'S ability to continuously and simultaneously observe ...
Micro-analysis and localization of camptothecin in Camptotheca acu
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Studies are underway to increase production of camptothecin (CPT), a monoterpene alkaloid with proven anticancer properties in its natural source, Camptotheca acuminate, a tree indigenous to China. Several semi-synthetic ...
An ecological study of lymphatic cancer mortality in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study investigated environmental factors that are potentially associated with lymphatic cancer mortality in Texas. As a group, lymphatic cancers include lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease, other ...
The importance of quality in softwood lumber: a review
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The main purpose of this paper was to review quality in wood products. For the purpose of this paper, definitions of quality, dimensions of quality, and some past research projects related to the topic have been reviewed. ...
Method of mechanism synthesis by hybrid genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The path synthesis problem for mechanical linkages still presents problems for engineers, although it has been examined for more than two centuries. This research approached the design problem as one of creating a ...
