Development of a deterministic and stochastic computer model for phosphorus retention in a surface flow wetland system
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Constructed and natural wetlands have been used to treat wastewater from both point and nonjoint sources. Phosphorus concentration in receiving waters is a concern due to the contribution of phosphorus to lake eutrophication ...
Skinning a cat: a study of the use of supplemental video in teaching introductory 3D computer animation
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A study was performed to test the hypothesis that a supplemental video would increase student understanding of and ability to apply the 12 principles animation. Eight student volunteers created a walk cycle using the same ...
A technique for modeling exotic shrimp escapes in Matagorda and San Antonio Bays, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A hydrodynamic model, TXBLEND, was used to simulate operating system. exotic shrimp escapes into Texas coastal wakers. Output from the model runs were reformatted using various scripts for display in Arcview 3.0a. The ...
Teaching color theory to children with three-dimensional computer animation
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Advances in computer technology have made it possible for educators to design and develop their own multimedia instructional materials using visuals such as animation. Although it is generally believed that the new attribute ...
Effects of some design parameters on the accuracy of "isochoric" measurements
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An isochoric apparatus design which is amenable to full automation was analyzed to determine the magnitude of errors introduced by the experimental design and procedures. An equation of state (EOS) was used to calculate ...
Producing a computer generated explosive effect
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis provides a process for a computer generated (CG) effects animator wishing to produce computer generated explosive effects using Alias|Wavefront Power Animator and Composer software. A study of the physical ...
Development of an actuated traffic control process utilizing real-time estimated volume feedbback
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Actuated traffic controllers are intended to determine traffic conditions, in real-time by means of vehicle detection, and respond accordingly in order to maintain the highest reasonable level of efficiency under varying ...
Consolidation of WC-Co by simple shear
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) has the capability of introducing large amounts of plastic strain into bulk material and powders in a fairly uniform way with the added advantage of no reduction in workpiece ...
Spectral modeling of two incline cylinders with validation in the time domain
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Clusters of long slender members such as risers or tendons are commonly found on deep water offshore platforms. Current practice is to space these slender structural members far enough apart to assume that they behave as ...
Predicting childhood aggression: a replication study looking at the interaction between childhood psychopathy and parenting practices
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This replication study provides mixed support for Wootton, Frick, Shelton and Silvelthorn's (1997) findings that the relation between parent socialization practices and children's aggression is moderated by children's ...
