A Methdology for Baselining the Energy Use at Large Campus Utility Plants for the Purpose of Measuring Energy Savings from Energy Conservation Retrofits
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The development of the energy services industry and the implementation of energy savings retrofits by energy services companies has increased the focus on the performance of energy saving retrofits. Energy savings measurement, ...
Consistency testing of models used to infer rainfall from TRMM passive microwave observations
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The algorithms used for the retrieval of rainfall are based on physical modeling. One of the by-products of the algorithm is an estimate of the freezing level. Using observations from the TRMM precipitation radar, we can ...
Performance of the NSSL hail detection algorithm for multicell storms over the Coastal Southern Plains
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A study of the National Severe Storm Laboratory's (NSSL'S) Hail Detection Algorithm (HDA) has been performed for over 20 different multicell storm systems that occurred over the coastal region of the southern Great Plains. ...
Development of an improved sodium exposure test cell experiment for characterization of AMTEC electrode performance
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An investigation into sources of inconsistencies in sodium exposure test cell (SETC) measurements, used to characterize AMTEC electrode performance, was conducted. Development of modifications to the SETC setup and operation ...
An Eta-model output study of frontogenesis conditions favoring development of a troposphere-spanning front
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The study of frontal structure and behavior is a subject which has received considerable attention during the past century. During this period our atmospheric observing network, as well as our understanding of various ...
Level of osteopenia and bone recovery in alcohol-fed adolescent rats
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Adolescence is a period in human growth and development that is a time of rapid and drastic change. It is also known to be an age of widespread alcohol abuse. Studies addressing the reversibility of the deleterious effects ...
Naturalized flow distribution component of a water availability modeling system
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Under Senate Bill 1, Article VII of the 751 Texas Legislature the State of Texas will develop a Water Availability Modeling (WAM) system to support water rights, regulatory functions and water management in this state. The ...
The effect of confinement on motivation to exercise in young dairy calves
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The objective of this research was the characterization of the ontogeny of "damming up'' in 1-week-old calves. Holstein heifer and bull calves (N=48) were used in a factorial arrangement with two crossed factors. Factor A ...
Seismic imaging using higher order statistics
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Improvements in seismic resolution beyond typical seismic wavelength will have significant implications for hydrocarbon exploration and production. Conventional imaging algorithms can be derived as a least squared optimization ...
Activity-based costing simulation as a tool for construction process optimization
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The goal of this research was to develop and illustrate a procedure to achieve time- cost optimization for a construction operation by finding the adequate crew configurations. The time-cost relationship in a construction ...
