Differential treatment of incarcerated female offenders: the interactive effects of race, familial status, and type of crime on length of sentence
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study used self-report dab, obtained in a study phics. funded by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse and carried out by researchers at Texas A&M University, to examine the interactive effectsof race, familial ...
The distribution of selenium and other trace elements in Texas waters and soils
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The distribution of selenium in aquatic systems has not been widely investigated. For example, there is very little reliable Se data for Texas river waders. This thesis aims to draw a first order picture of the Se distribution ...
Seismic rehabilitation of a reinforced concrete flat-slab structure
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The effectiveness of seismic rehabilitation techniques used to eliminate punching shear failures was assessed for flat-slab structural systems. This type of retrofit was evaluated for a four-story reinforced concrete (RC) ...
Dynamic analysis of impact induced phase transformation in Shape Memory Alloys using numerical techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A study of the dynamic behavior of polycrystalline Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) under impact loading was proposed. The purpose of this study was to obtain basic understanding of the thermomechanical response of SMAs under ...
Biology of Aprostocetus Hagenowii (Ratzeburg), a parasitoid of cockroaches, and insect community composition in an interiorscape
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The insect community of the rainforest pyramid at Moody Gardens, Galveston. Texas, was determined. The insect community within the rainforest pyramid consisted of Periplaneta americana (Linnaeus), Periplaneta australasiae ...
A branch-and-bound project assignment methodology with generalized network strategies for updating bounds
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a branch-and-bound procedure to accommodate the generalized network model for project assignment problems. The solution from this algorithm yields the optimal solution with binary ...
Horizontal well construction/completion process in a Gulf of Mexico unconsolidated sand: development of baseline correlations for improved drill-in fluid cleanup practices
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis examines, in detail, the procedures and practices undertaken in the drilling and completion phases of a Gulf of Mexico horizontal well in an unconsolidated sand. In particular, this thesis presents a detailed ...
Alternative corn (Zea mays L.) production methods for Central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Research was conducted to evaluate the combination of narrow row spacing and glufosinate as potential components in an integrated production system for glufosinate-resistant corn. Additional research was conducted to ...
Plant responses to phosphorus-deficiency stress: the role of organic acids in P mobilization from iron oxide and P acquisition by sorghum
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Phosphate deficiency is frequently a limiting factor in crop production on acid soils due to the tendency of iron oxides to strongly bind phosphate through inner-sphere ligand adsorption. Two of the reported responses of ...
Computer aided analysis for residual stress measurement using ultrasonic techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Critically refracted longitudinal (Lcr) waves have been investigated with a computerized data acquisition and analysis technique to evaluate residual stresses present in a residual stress reference standard. This measurement ...
