A rhetorical analysis of the right to privacy
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Although no guarantee exists in the Constitution to a right to privacy, it is now generally accepted that individuals have a right to be "let alone.'' In this thesis, I will propose an alternative formulation of the right ...
A method for the optimization of the birdcage coil in MRI
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a volume coil is omen used to uniformly illuminate the sample being imaged with radio-frequency (RF) energy and then to receive the resulting MR signal. The coil is expected to achieve ...
MMPI-A: prediction of program disruption for incarcerated female juvenile delinquents
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) has a long history of identifying adolescents who are at risk of displaying delinquent behaviors. However, MMPI research regarding behaviors observed from adolescents ...
Seasonal distribution of freshwater dolphins in Tipishca Del Samiria, Peru
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Tipishca del Samiria is an oxbow lake of the blackwater Samiria River system found within the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve in northeastern Peru. The entire system experiences seasonal inundation and is influenced by the ...
Evaluation of cottonseed meal in Coturnix quail diets
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Experiments were conducted to determine the elects of cottonseed meal (CSM) on growth and performance of Coturnix quail when diets are formulated on a digestible amino acid basis in the presence of high and low concentrations ...
A comparison of tropical mesoscale convective systems in El Nino and La Nina
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Tropical mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) were identified using the 85 GHz ice-scattering channel for a La Nina year, and these MCSs were compared to MCSs identified in the same manner for an E1 Nino year (Mohr and ...
Conceptual aircraft dynamics from inverse aircraft modeling
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis presents a method of construe' ting a nonlinear dynamics model of a theoretical aircraft from the nonlinear batch simulation of an existing aircrew This method provides control law designers with a method of ...
Bioaugmentation of TNT-contaminated soil
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Microbial transformation of trinitrotoluene (TNT) in phics. contaminated soil was investigated in this research. A Bacillus sp., isolated from soil obtained from an army ammunition facility, was used to enhance the rate ...
Development and verification of new semi-analytical methods for the analysis and prediction of gas well performance
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The analysis of well performance behavior from natural gas reservoirs requires the rigorous solution of the real gas diffusivity equation in terms of the pseudopressure function. Combining this equation with the material ...
Influence of chromium on the biodegradation of hexahydro-1,3,5- trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)], frequently encountered due to metal plating operations, is normally considered toxic to microorganisms. RDX and HMX are the most widely used explosives since World War II and now contaminate ...
