This thesis examines how the media portrayed gender roles in periodical articles from 1953 to 1961. Magazines researched were those most widely read by white and black women. The purpose is to compare and contrast the views ...
Ultrasonic elastography to predict beef tenderness
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Ultrasonic elastography was used to predict chemical and mechanical measures of beef tenderness. Beef carcasses (n=30) were obtained from animals of known genetic background of three breed types (3/4 Angus (A) x 1/4 Brahman ...
The association of methodology and student learning style on a student's perception of a collegiate leadership course
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of various learning activities between field-independent and field-dependent students in a collegiate leadership course. The design for this research was an ex-post ...
The influence of rater individual differences on job evaluation ratings
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This study investigated the influence of social-attitudinal variables on job evaluation outcomes. Specifically, the tendency to be resistant to change and attitudes towards women were hypothesized to interact with the sex ...
Rapid carrier phase acquisition for large QAM signal constellations
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This work addresses the problem of rapid carrier-phase acquisition for QAM constellations, and specifically for the 32-QAM, 64-QAM, 128-QAM, and 256-QAM constellations, operating over an AWGN channel. It is assumed that ...
The form, function, and interrelationships of naval rams: a study of naval rams from antiquity
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The discovery of several naval rams from sites around the Mediterranean has given scholars a brief glimpse of one of the most widely used naval weapons of the ancient world. Examining these physical examples provides ...
Semi-analytical methods for the analysis and interpretation of well test data distorted by wellbore storage and skin effects
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Our objective is to develop approximations of the pressure-time behavior for use in analyzing the pressure response of a well in an infinite-acting reservoir influenced by wellbore storage and skin effects. Our resulting ...
Design and analysis of large deformation spiral springs
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis presents the analysis, design and construction of spiral springs for use in the Microgravity Simulator at Phillips Laboratory at Kirkland AFB in New Mexico. A finite element analysis to determine the behavior ...
Strategies for improved arterial coordination using actuated control
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Traffic actuated signals have been efficiently used in controlling isolated I intersections because they respond to random traffic fluctuations using detectors on all approaches. Application to coordinated arterial operations ...
Karyotypic variation in populations of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Karyotypic analyses are provided for five previously uncharacterized subspecies of deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) from the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. Nondifferentially-stained, G-banded and C-banded ...
