A type of artillery mission practiced by the United States Army since World War I, Harassment and Interdiction (H&I) fire proved controversial during the Vietnam War. Intentionally unobserved, H&I targeted suspected Viet ...
Development of a two dimensional optical fiber force transducer for constitutive modeling of soft tissue
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Constitutive modeling of soft tissue has provided better understanding of their function and behavior in both normal and pathophysiological conditions. The ability to predict growth and remodeling of the tissue under the ...
Combined water use of turf and woody ornamentals in an irrigated South Texas landscape
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Landscape water conservation and potential evapotranspiration (PET or ET[p]) based irrigation programs are hindered by a lack of data on actual evapotranspiration (ET[a]) rates of multiple plant species landscapes. ...
Error rate and power dissipation in nano-logic devices
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Current-controlled logic and single electron logic processors have been investigated with respect to thermal-induced bit error. A maximal error rate for both logic processors is regarded as one bit-error/year/chip. A maximal ...
The inheritance and genetic relationships of the resistance to Phytophthora capsici in two chile pepper (Capsicum annum) genotypes
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The inheritance of two resistant genotypes, Criollo de Morelos 334 and Fidel, to P. capsici seems to be controlled by two recessive genes, with epistatic and additive effects respectively. Both resistant genotypes could ...

Development and synthesis of 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate: a nucleoside analogue for application of Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions in DNA sequencing methodology
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
5-Ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate and the corresponding phosphoramidate analogue have been prepared for the purpose of studying DNA bases as possible donors in energy transfer dye systems. The triphosphate was ...
