A computational analysis of the evaporator/artery of an alkali metal thermal to electric conversion (AMTEC) PX series cell
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The effect that the modeling of the wicking limitation of the capillary structure in the liquid return artery of an AMTEC PX-SB series cell has on cell performance was investigated. Preliminary evaluation of an AMTEC PX-SB ...
Mechanistic studies using kinetic isotope effects
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Understanding reaction mechanisms is an important aspect of chemistry. A now convenient way to study reaction mechanisms is kinetic isotope effects at natural abundance. This technique circumvents the cumbersome methods ...
Model for a web based medical technology assessment system
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Technology is the primary driving force for change in today's healthcare environment. Understanding the dynamics of medical technology and applying probative management measures can be accomplished with a medical technology ...
The moderating influence of perceived containment on the relation between child externalizing behaviors and parenting practices
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study introduces the construct of "perceived containment" (PC) which is defined as the child's sense that adult caregivers can and will provide consequences that would negate any perceived benefits of antisocial ...
Microstructure and mechanical properties of aluminum 5083 processed by equal channel angular extrusion
(1999)
The objectives of this research were to process commercial Al - 5083 using equal channel angular extrusion routes A, B, and C, include intermediate solution-heat treatments, investigate the room temperature and superplastic ...
Abundance of northern bobwhite and scaled quail in Texas: influence of weather and land-cover change
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Despite intensive study, quail populations across the United States have declined since the 1960s. My analysis of a 21-year (1978-98) data set collected by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department indicated abundance of ...
Measuring lumbar motion in industry, utilizing the lumbar motion monitor
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Understanding the relationship between trunk motion, workplace factors, and the probability of incurring an occupationally related low back disorder (LBD) continues to be a challenging problem for ergonomists. To begin to ...
Sediment transport in the Mississippi Canyon: the role of currents and storm events on optical variability
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Two modes of sediment transport were found to exist in the Mississippi Canyon: the offshelf transport of material in intermediate nepheloid layers originating at depths of 50-175 m and the resuspension and transport of ...
Can agent-causation be rendered intelligible?: an essay on the etiology of free action
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The doctrine of agent-causation has been suggested by many interested in defending libertarian theories of free action to provide the conceptual apparatus necessary to make the notion of incompatibility freedom intelligible. ...
Dielectric characterization of unstabilized aggregate base materials
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Because changes in moisture content can significantly alter the structural and strength properties of granular base materials, moisture susceptibility has a major impact on the field performance of these materials in highway ...
