Disease resistance and performance of blended populations of creepi
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Plant diseases are a major problem on creeping bentgrass greens and can significantly decrease putting quality. Blended populations comprised of two or more cultivars within the same species have been utilized to decrease ...
Surficial sediments of the continental rise and slope, Niger Delta, West Africa: properties and geology
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The submarine portions of the Niger Delta, West Africa are undergoing active gravity tectonic deformation due to thick deposits of ductile shale overlain by paralic sands. Because the region is rich in hydrocarbon reserves, ...
Real-time storm surge prediction for bays on the Texas Gulf coast
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis presents a new, real-time storm surge forecast system constructed around the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model. ADCIRC is a finite element circulation model developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to model large ...
Microbial and objective quality of whole muscle beef cuts packaged in film containing chlorine dioxide
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The microbial and objective quality of top round steak treated with two deferent prototype chlorine dioxide containing films were evaluated deleing 14 days of refrigerated storage. The films were designed to deliver different ...
Ultrasonic thickness measurements on corroded steel members: a statistical analysis of error
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The purpose is to determine the suitability of ultrasonic thickness testing of corroded tubular members for the offshore industry. The research can be divided into two parts: 1) determining the error in an ultrasonic ...
A study of compatibility in conjunction with implication based optimization and different forms of implications
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This research is a study of multilevel logic optimization based on a functional approach using ordered binary decision diagrams (OBDD). Compatibility relationships between internal nodes in a circuit are used in conjunction ...
Evaluation of an alternative bituminous material as a soil stabilizer
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Asphalt cements, cutback asphalts, and emulsified asphalts are used as bituminous stabilizing agents in the pavement systems. The emulsified asphalts are increasingly used in lieu of cutback asphalts because of environmental ...
Determination of mechanisms of host plant resistance to the Banks grass mite Oligonychus pratensis (Banks) (Acari: Tetranychidae) in selected maize inbreds
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Maize lines selected for resistance to the Banks Grass Mite were tested to determine which mechanisms of resistance were being expressed: Antibiosis, Nonpreference, or Tolerance. Inbred 3 and, to a lesser degree Inbred 2, ...
Evaluation of data and request distribution policies in clustered servers
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The popularity of the WWW has skyrocketed beyond all expectations and as a result the demands placed on traditional single machine servers has exceeded their original designs. Clustered-based servers are considered to be ...
Development of a simulation model for analysis of MPOA and LANE networks
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In this thesis a simulation model for inter-Emulated LAN (ELAN) communication using Multi-Protocol Over ATM (MPOA) technology is developed. The network traffic generators for the model are discussed on the basis of ...
