A flexible location management scheme for mobile computing
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Location management for mobile users is an important issue in distributed, mobile computing environments. In this thesis, I propose a flexible location management scheme on the Internet to support mobile users. The proposed ...
An air pollution trajectory model for Southeast Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Amounts of ozone for the Houston area are the second-highest within the United States. As a result of Houston's high ozone problem a task of finding new ways to control the ozone concentration was necessary for the Southeast ...
Investigation of a thermoluminescent dosimeter mixture between LiF:Mg,Ti and Li2B4O7 in a solid form
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Thermoluminescent dosimetry is one of the most popular methods in use today for the monitoring of personnel exposures to radiation. This research investigates a different type of dosimeter, a 3:1 mixture of lithium fluoride ...
Wavelet-finite element bases for numerical solutions of partial differential equations
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis presents a method to solve elliptic partial differential equations (PDES) using wavelets and finite elements. We focus on third order Daubechies' wavelets and piecewise linear finite elements. Functions from ...
Structural response of oxidation resistant carbon-carbon composites
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Since carbon-carbon composites maintain their strength at high temperatures, they are attractive candidates for high temperature applications. Although, in oxygen rich environments at temperatures above 500'C, carbon-carbon ...
Comparative affinity purification of single chain antibody NC6.8
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Single chain antibody (scfv NC6.8) was generated from the IgG (2b,k) parent mAb cell line NC6.8, a mAb that binds a super-potent trisubstituted guanidino sweetener, N-(p-cyanophenyl)-N'(diphenylmethyl)guanidine acetic acid. ...
Electromyographic responses to aerodynamic vs. drop handlebars
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Aerodynamic Handlebars were developed to increase the competitive cyclists aerodynamic advantage. They place the cyclist in a laid out position with the hands stretched out in front similar to a down hill skier "tuck" ...
Geochemistry of the Yegua Aquifer system and its relation to microbial processes
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Two sediment cores (NP-I and NP-3) were taken from the Yegua formation in East-central Texas and analyzed for sedimentology, geochemistry, and microbiology to assess the relationship between geochemistry and microbial ...
Growth and carcass traits and sire effects on growth and carcass traits in purebred beefmaster cattle
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Many beef cattle producers are becoming interested in retaining ownership of their cattle through the entire production chain and than selling them to the packer on a grade and yield basis. To be successful, a ranch must ...
The effects of soil moisture on pecan weevil emergence and predicting drought delay
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Timing of chemical applications is of key importance in managing pecan weevil, Curculio caryae (Horn). Proper timing is achieved by monitoring pecan weevil emergence and can be improved by predicting delays in emergence ...
