(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis examines the friendship between Ralph Waldo Emerson and Caroline Sturgis and the influence this relationship exec on Emerson' s first volume of poetry, Poems (1847). Sturgis can be recognized as the model and ...
A genetic linkage map of buffelgrass
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Details of apomixis at levels of the gene, chromosome, and genome can be obtained with a comprehensive restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) linkage map. The objective of this research was construction of a genetic ...
Sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to minerals and low-organic-carbon aquifer sediments
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The molecular mechanisms and major geochemical factors ics. controlling the sorption of nontoxic organic chemicals (NOC) to mineral surfaces in low-organic-carbon soils and sediments remain unclear. The objectives of this ...
The effect of penning and chaining on circus elephant behavior
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The behavior of 10 Asian (Elephas moimus) and 3 rographics. African (Loxodonta africans) elephants from the Carson & Barnes Circus was studied to determine 1) the elect of penning and chaining on behavior, 2) the elect of ...
A study of microstrip T-juction discontinuity effects and modeling on GAAS substrates
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
One of the most important microstrip discontinuities used in hybrid and monolithic MIC circuit design is the T-junction. T-junctions are heavily used in a variety of microstrip circuits including impedance matching networks, ...
A new algorithm for detecting erroneous loop detector data
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Reduced safety and increased congestion are a major concern on U.S. roadways. Traffic Management Centers (TMC) can reduce emergency vehicle response time with prompt detection of incidents. TMCS detect incidents by applying ...
Movement patterns, behaviors, and whistle sounds of dolphin groups off Kaikoura, New Zealand
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscures) is a small delphinid that occurs in temperate waters near Southern Hemisphere land masses. Off Kaikoura, New Zealand, duskies are targeted for interactions by tourist vessels, ...
The design, construction, and testing of a nuclear fuel rod thermal simulation system to study gallium/Zircaloy interactions
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The presence of gallium in weapons grade plutonium has raised many questions concerning its use in light water reactor (LWR) fuel rods. The biggest concern is that the gallium will migrate down the thermal gradient in the ...
Depositional and diagenetic characteristics of Waulsortian-type buildups in the Lodgepole formation: Big Snowy Mountains, Montana, and Dickinson Field, North Dakota
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Three distinct lower Mississippian (Kinderhookian) carbonate buildups are found at the mouth of Swimming Woman Canyon, located on the southern flank of the Big Snowy Mountains, in central Montana. These buildups are composed ...
Local heat transfer and film effectiveness of a film cooled gas turbine blade tip
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Gas turbine engines due to high operating temperatures undergo severe thermal stress and fatigue during operation. Cooling of these components is a very important issue during the lifetime of the engine. Cooling is achieved ...
