A systematic approach for characterizing waves in a model basin
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This research study focused upon the development of a general methodology to characterize regular and random waves in a large model basin. The objectives of the study were to both identify and quantify the various ...
Effect of additives on the reduction of nitrogen oxides using cyanuric acid
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The addition of cyanuric acid to hot exhaust flows has been shown in the past to selectively remove much of the nitric oxide (NO) emitted from combustion sources. Known as the RapreNOx process, this approach to pollution ...
Self-organizing discovery, recognition, and prediction of hemodynamic patterns in the intensive care unit
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In order to properly care for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), clinicians must be aware of hemodynamic patterns. In a typical ICU a variety of physiologic measurements are made continuously and ...
Development of criteria for fatigue repairs in bridge girders damaged by out-of-plane distortion
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Numerous highway bridge girders across the United States have experienced fatigue cracking due to repetitive out-of-plane distortion at unstiffened web gaps caused by poorly designed diaphragm connection details. Due to ...
Process development for the fabrication of light emitting vacuum field emission triodes
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In order to be widely accepted by industry, the field of vacuum microelectronics is in need of a highly manufacturable and integrable device. A vacuum diode meeting these requirements has been developed at Texas A&M ...
Large-scale experimental investigation of flow characteristics in labyrinth seal geometries
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
order to determine the flow characteristics and leakage resistance properties of advanced labyrinth seals. A unique water test facility is used to acquire leakage resistance measurements for two-dimensional, planar models ...
Efficient implementation schemes for image enhancement filters
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Generalized median filtering techniques that have appeared in previous literature suffer from some severe disadvantages. They are not only hardware intensive and time consuming but also tend to smear image edges. These ...
Influence of fertilization on nutrient status and size of bare-root Pinus taeda L. seedlings
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of varying types and amounts of fertilizer on loblolly pine ( inns taeda L.) seedlings. Morphological traits as well as nutritional status were measured. A comparison ...
An evaluation of Stones method to determine pseudo-relative permeability
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Determination of pseudo-relative permeability and capillary pressure functions or simply pseudofunctions is an important problem in reservoir simulation studies. Modeling the reservoir as simply as possible is quite often ...
Ultrasonic measurement of the residual stresses in patch welded steel plates
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study begins with a review of the nature and origins of residual stresses and the techniques currently used to measure these stresses, both destructive and nondestructive. The theory of ultrasonic stress measurement, ...
