Impact of shoreline change on proposed Texas Highway 87 reconstruction
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Over seventeen miles of Texas State Highway 87, located in Jefferson County on the Upper Texas Coast, have repeatedly been destroyed by shoreline recession throughout its history. Jefferson County is currently seeking a ...
Numerical prediction of wave transformation, velocity, and bottom stress in the inner surf and swash zone
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A physical model study was conducted in a narrow wave flume to verify a previously developed numerical model for predicting the hydrodynamic response to irregular waves on a rough impermeable slope. In the physical model ...
Image texture analysis of elastograms
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
As the quest for curing cancer continues with ever growing determination and vigor, new medical imaging techniques have come up to help in early cancer detection. The early detection aids in the possibility of either ...
A comparison of three serological assays, protein gel electrophoresis and the polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Chlomydia psittici infections in pet birds
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Three serological assays, protein gel electrophoresis hics. and the polymerase chain reaction assays were evaluated in psittacine birds. Birds suspected of Chlamydia psittaci infections were identified and tested with the ...
O⁺[]O⁺ nuclear β-decay of ⁶²Ga
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The branching ratio for the β-Decay of ⁶²Ga to the first excited O⁺ state in ⁶²Zn has been measured. It is possible to use this branching ratio to test the theoretical method of calculating the [] component of the charge ...
Fish assemblage structure along environmental gradients in a coastal plain drainage: influences from a reservoir
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Because most major river drainages are altered by impoundments, it is necessary to understand how such alterations influence structure and function of fish assemblages. Upstream influences of impoundments have only recently ...
Sic et non en el Libro de buen amor
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis studies the concept of sic et non (the paradox of systematically acting in a way which contradicts one's beliefs or of simultaneously holding two contradictory beliefs) in the LBA and its cultural milieu, ...
Implementation of a low power adaptive binary encoder
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The demand for a low power implementation of a data compression technique is driven by the need for small, light-weight portable electronic devices that need to operate on battery power for extended periods of time at ...
Adrenal and ovarian function in nutritionally-restricted or Acacia berlandieri-fed Angora goats
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Mature Angora nannies (31[]1.1 kg body weight; BW) were randomly assigned to one of four dietary regimens over a 60-d period to evaluate the effects of nutritional restriction (high and low energy diets) and Acacia berlandieri ...
Determination of taurine concentration during cheddar cheese manufacture and examination of antioxidant properties of whey, permeate, mother liquor, and taurine
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The objectives of this study were to determine the mass balance of taurine during the conversion of milk to cheese and during the processing of whey through lactose crystallization and to determine the antioxidant activity ...
