Quadratic voltage profiles in lead acid cells during slow, steady processes
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
It is standard lore that the voltage profile varies linearly in space within the electrolyte of a lead acid cell under slow, steady discharge. However, this hypothesis has never been put to the test. A recent theory predicts ...
Simulation of operational transients in a VVER-1000 nuclear power plant using the RELAP5/MOD3.2 computer program
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A RELAP5/MOD3.2 nodalization model of a VVER-1OOO (V-320) nuclear power plant was updated, improved and validated against available experimental data. The data included integrated test results obtained from actual power ...
Educational patterns of the marginalized: an integrated model of Mexican American performance on cognitive tests
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The explanations for Mexican American underachievement in education have been centered on the cultural deficit paradigm. However, studies of this nature have failed to utilize the multilevel approach to account for the ...
Interactions of gallium with zircaloy cladding
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A mastering system was constructed and installed on the current low energy accelerator of the Ion Beam Laboratory in the Department of Nuclear Engineering. Galium was implanted into heated zircaloy targets at nuances of ...
Mosquito species associated with a relic urban natural (run) site in College Station, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A qualitative study of the biodiversity of mosquito fauna was conducted in a relic natural creek bottom habitat inherent to the Kiwanis Nature Trail located in the College Hills residential area of College Stations Texas ...
Influence of polyaspartic acid on growth and yield of cotton
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Nitrogen fertilization is normally required by upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) for optimism yields. Increasing the efficiency of applied N fertilizer and other nutrients would aid in cotton production. Polyaspartic ...
HydraNet-FT: network support for dependable servors
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This thesis proposes an infrastructure to dynamically replicate services across an internetwork and have them provide a single fault tolerant service access point to clients. For service replication, it relies on previous ...
Contemporary public celebrations of the Day of the Dead in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, Texas
(1999)
The Day of the Dead, a Mexican folk-catholic holiday annually observed on November second, is devoted to remembering and honoring deceased family members. Since the 1970s the holiday has become increasingly popular within ...
Relationships between access and operating speed on suburban arterials
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Driver behavior is affected by many roadway factors. This project investigated which geometric, roadside, and traffic control device variables have an effect on driver behavior on major suburban arterials. In particular, ...
Performance analysis of the cascade impactor, the federal reference method PM 2.5 sampler, and the improve PM 2.5 sampler
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The concept of jet impaction has been a common method used in ambient air quality and personal particulate matter(PM) monitors, as a means of removing PM out of an air stream, for the purpose of monitoring PM concentrations. ...
