Chloroplast symbiosis: organization and expression of chloroplast genes and maintenance of chloroplast activity in a foreign host
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The observation of maintenance of photosynthesis by endosymbiotic Vaucheria litorea chloroplasts in the foreign mollusc host Elysia chlorotica over at least seven months indicates a functional genetic apparatus is present ...
Generation of high peak power pulse using 2 stage erbium-doped fiber amplifier
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents the results obtained from generation of high repetition rate, high power output pulse using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). Two stage amplification was employed. The first stage setup used 980nm ...
Impact of microphysical parameterizations on simulated storm evolution and remotely-sensed characteristics
(2000-12)
A non-hydrostatic, three-dimensional cloud model was used in conjunction with
a radiative transfer model to study the sensitivity o f the model-simulated storms and
their remotely-sensed characteristics to the microphysical ...
Agricultural Sector Analysis on Greenhouse Gas Emission Mitigation in the United States
(2000)
This dissertation analyzes the economic potential of agriculture to participate in
greenhouse gas emission mitigation efforts. Major agricultural mitigation strategies are
included simultaneously to capture interactions. ...
Heat transfer measurements in a two-pass square duct via a transient liquid crystal image method
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this research air flow transient heat transfer in a two-pass channel via thermochromic liquid crystals is studied. An 180° turn and rib roughened surface are part of the channel. This geometric combination simulates ...
Salmonella detection and critical control point determination during poultry processing
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Several alternative sampling methods have been recently evaluated for detection of Salmonella on broiler carcasses during commercial processing. The present study evaluated and compared four sampling techniques: carcass ...
An interactive spatial information management system on the internet: the fire ant spatial information management system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The World Wide Web (Internet) has become an immensely valuable information resource. The appeal of the Internet stems from a combination of its near global reach, the ease of online publication of information, and the ...
Utilizing spatial technologies to understand and model wildlife species distributions
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The objective of this study was to utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and the Global Positioning System (GPS) to develop and test an environmental model. The model was designed to predict, based ...
Aeolian depositional landforms of the south eastern Mojave Desert, California
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Remote sensing and photo interpretation techniques are used to describe and map aeolian deposits found along two sediment transport corridors in the south eastern Mojave Desert. The first pathway and associated sand deposits ...
A comparison of rotordynamic-coefficient predictions for annular honeycomb gas seals using different friction-factor models
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Predictions of rotordynamic-coefficients for annular honeycomb gas seals are compared using different friction-factor models. Analysis shows that the fundamental improvement in predicting the rotordynamic-coefficients ...
