Characterization of product quality attributes of tortilla chips during the frying process
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Tortilla chips were prepared from commercially nixtamalized dry mesa flour. The effect of initial moisture content, frying oil temperature, flour particle size distribution, and degree of starch gelatinization on the ...
Modeling of air brakes for onboard diagnostics of heavy trucks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Accidents involving commercial vehicles have disastrous consequences; most of the times they result in human fatalities, environmental damage, traffic congestion leading to fuel wastage and associated productivity losses. ...
Subsea Mudlift Drilling: evaluation of the pressure differential problem with subsea pump
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The petroleum industry is trying to develop new and improved technology to safely, successfully and profitably extract hydrocarbons in deep water. One such technology under development is subsea mudlift drilling (SMD), a ...
Port Royal, Jamaica, and the slave trade
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In the eighteenth century, the British Empire rose to an eminent role in transatlantic slave trade. British ships are thought to have transported more individuals into bondage during this century than in any other period ...
Microscopic description of isoscalar giant resonance excitations in ⁴⁰Ca and ¹¹⁶SN nuclei
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a microscopic description of isoscalar giant resonance excitations in ⁴⁰Ca and ¹¹⁶ Sn nuclei within the self-consistent Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Random-Phase-Approximation (HF-RPA) theory. Such characteristic ...
Quantitative training system assessments using General Systems Performance Theory
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The use of computers for imparting education and training is rapidly gaining widespread acceptance. There is considerable evidence in literature to show that computer-based training (CBT) can lower training costs and shorten ...
An experimental investigation into oil mist lubrication
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Oil mist lubrication offers many advantages over sump lubrication. Unfortunately, mist lubrication generates sub-micrometer sized aerosol particles (fines) that escape from the oil mist lubrication system. These particles ...
Assessing and tracking resident, immature loggerheads (Caretta caretta) in and around the Flower Garden Banks, northwest Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Over five years of underwater/above water surveys resulted in 140 reports documenting 153 sea turtle sightings within the boundaries of the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS) in the northwestern Gulf ...
Identification of DNA marker for root-knot nematode resistance gene and characterization of disease resistance gene candidates in cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Cotton is the leading textile fiber and the second most important oilseed in the world. Disease is one of the most significant limiting biotic constraints in cotton production. Therefore, breeding for resistance to different ...
Identifying the concepts, principles, and applications of technology needed by entry-level workers in food, environmental, and natural resource systems in 2010
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The purpose of this study was to revise the competencies that are needed to move the National FFA Agricultural Mechanics career development event (CDE) into the 21st Century. The following objectives were used to guide the ...
