A laboratory study comparing the effectiveness of three dust palliatives on unpaved roads
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Three different aggregate types were each treated by three commercially available dust palliatives and tested in the laboratory to quantify their resistance to erosion by wind and traffic. An untreated control specimen was ...
Adhesion improvement of electroless copper depositions on titanium nitride by low temperature annealing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Due to the ever decreasing dimensions of the inter-level metallic interconnects, alternative metal deposition processes must be explored as the current processes (chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and physical vapor deposition ...
Avoiding character collisions in games
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis addresses an important current problem in the game industry, the problem of moving multiple characters along predefined paths in a two-dimensional plane while avoiding collisions between them. It demonstrates ...
Comparison of vehicle travel times and measurement techniques along the I-35 corridor in San Antonio, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The floating car method of travel time data collection has been used since the 1920's to evaluate transportation issues such as congestion management and freeway operation. However, this technique can be time consuming, ...
An analysis of winter precipitation in the northeast and a winter weather precipitation type forecasting tool for New York City
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Winter storms produce a wide array of precipitation types across the northeast United States. Immense problems are created for all parts of today's society when the precipitation falls in the form of snow or freezing rain. ...
Responses of dwarf bermudagrass cultivars to cultural practices
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Several new dwarf, golf-green-type bermudagrass have recently been or will be released for use across the southern United States. Claims have been made about the superiority of the new cultivate in comparison to 'Tifdwarf', ...
Cross-sectional study of antimicrobial-resistant Salmonella in market-age swine
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
There is increasing concern about the widespread use of antibiotics in agriculture and veterinary medicine and the role that this plays in emerging microbial resistance. To investigate this problem, we examined antimicrobial ...
The evaluation of sorghum contaminated with ergot on broiler chicken performance
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The objective of these four experiments was to conduct an evaluation of the performance of broiler chickens fed sorghum contaminated with ergot sphacelia/sclerotia of Claviceps africana present in tailings removed by ...
A comparative study of retrieval effectiveness from a scientific document database with computer-generated indexing and manually generated keyword-based indexing
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The primary objective of this study was to examine the effectiveness of a full text indexing and retrieval system for a scientific document database. The secondary objective was to assess the completeness of the manual ...
Dose profile establishment of new I-125 brachytherapy seed by radiochromic film
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The dose profile of a prototype IS 125 I-125 brachytherapy seed was measured using MD-55 radiochromic film. Irradiated films were scanned by a document scanner and results were compared with results obtained when a ...
