George Bush and the Religious Right: a case study in the rhetoric of interest group politics
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In terms of potential voter mobilization, the Religious Right is the most powerful vote-getting faction in the Republican Party. Therefore, it is easy to understand why a Republican candidate for the presidency would cater ...
A heuristic algorithm for graph isomorphism
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
To devise a good algorithm for determining if two graphs are isomorphic, is of considerable practical importance, and is also of great theoretical interest due to its relationship to the concept of NP-completeness. There ...
Nonlinear effects in kinetic resolutions
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The impact of nonlinear effects in the asymmetric catalysis of kinetic resolutions is analyzed. It is found with minimal assumptions that the kinetics of homocompetitive reactions should apply generally to kinetic resolutions ...
Wavelength tunable polarization mode converter utilizing static strain effects in lithium niobate
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Electro-optically tunable polarization mode converters have been produced in LiNbO₃ substrate using all static strain optic effects. Maximum conversion efficiency of 98.3% was achieved at 66414m wavelength in TE to TM ...
The application of PHREEQCi, a geochemical computer program, to aid in the management of a wastewater treatment wetland
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In the past decade, constructed wetlands have become popular for treating coal-generated acid mine drainage and leachate from coal-ash disposal areas. The goal of the wetland manager is to design a system in which the pH ...
Model for a web based communication system between clinical engineers and medical device companies
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Internet and its use is proliferating. Many medical device manufacturers have their own web sites where they provide useful, but not standardized information about their products and services. Similarly hospitals and ...
Epidemiology and diagnosis of microsporidia in psittacine birds
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Microsporidia are single-celled, obligate intercellular parasites with a wide host range covering most invertebrate phyla and all five classes of vertebrates. Numerous reports have implicated Encephalitozoon hellem, a ...
Extensional viscosity measurements of polyethylene using a melt flow indexer
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The extensional viscosity of polyethylene melts plays and important role in the processability of the resins. Extensional viscosity is important in processing operations such as film blowing, blow molding, and fiber spinning. ...
Hingeless flow control over delta wing planforms
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
An experimental investigation of hingeless flow control by vortex breakdown manipulation over a delta wing is described. Employed as a method of longitudinal control for slender wing platforms, the performance of this ...
A new numerical method for conversion of sonic second virial coefficients to density second virial coefficients
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A new numerical method has been developed for calculation of density second virial coefficients, B(T), from sonic velocity measurements in gases at low pressures. Unlike existing methods, this procedure requires no model ...
