Cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics of warm season Mesoscale Convection Systems in the Central United States: 1992-1993
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This study provides a detailed analysis of cloud-to-aphics. ground (CG) lightning flashes within individual Mesoscale Convective Systems (MCSs) that occurred in the Central United States during May-August of 1992 and 1993. ...
Effects of alternative container media components on the growth of selected under-utilized small ornamental trees
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
From a candidate list of sixteen under-utilized Small trees, four taxa were identified for study to determine if they were adaptable for 2.6 L and 15 L container production, in Comparison to a commonly produced small tree ...
Application of the genetic algorithm for global scheduling and a single machine scheduling problem with periodic maintenance and semiresumable jobs
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis considers two different scheduling problems in industrial settings. The first problem consists of minimizing the total completion time of jobs scheduled on a single machine that must undergo periodic maintenance. ...
Dynamic analysis of a semisubmersible-type bucket-ladder dredge
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A Semisubmersible-type bucket ladder dredge is a possible candidate to satisfy the need of PT Timah (Indonesia tin mining company) to exploit tin deposits in water depths of 50 m and deeper. The existing vessel used by ...
Pressure and momentum field investigation of a centrifugal pump through dynamic loading of a semi-open impeller
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A study was performed to investigate the variation in the forces and moments acting on the front and back sides of a semi-open impeller. Three rotational speeds and five volumetric flow rates for each speed were identified ...
GIS and plume dispersion modeling for population exposure assessment
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The use of Pollutant Plume Dispersion Models is widespread in the evaluation of point sources of air pollution. These models provide valuable insight into the concentration and dispersion of hazardous materials throughout ...
Interviewer's ratings of personality: can these ratings predict job performance?
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The link between personality and job performance has usually been studied using self-report personality data. The present study looked at whether an interviewer's ratings of an applicant's personality can predict future ...
Design of adaptive connection admission control in hard real-time ATM networks
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
In hard real-time networking, end-to-end delay of data transmission must be strictly upper bounded. ATM networking has been increasingly used to transfer data in hard real-time environment. Data transfer in ATM network is ...
Testing hyperalgesia and hypoalgesia in human pain reactivity using shock and radiant heat
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Recent animal studies pose a serious challenge for raphics. current models of pain modulation. These studies have shown that exposure to the same aversive stimulus has opposite effects on different measures of pain reactivity, ...
Fault tolerant control of automatically controlled vehicles in response to brake system failures
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Increasing highway traffic congestion and high cost of ics. building new highways have brought out a renewed design of an Automated Highway System (AHS). Since safety is an important issue in the development of an AHS, ...
