Investigation of ignition of thermoplastics through the Hot Wire Ignition Test
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The purpose of this research was to investigate the ignition phenomena of selected polymeric materials using the Hot Wire Ignition Test. This test is prescribed by Underwriters Laboratories as one of various requirements ...
Prediction of traffic flow for real-time control
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The prediction of traffic flow on a network and the relationship of these flows to the traffic control signal settings are major factors in the development of an adaptive real-time signal system. PASSER IV is an arterial ...
The effects of alcohol use on zinc status
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Alcohol consumption has been shown to have adverse affects on bone growth and maintenance, although the mechanism has not been elucidated. The objective of this research was to look at the relationship between zinc and ...
Textual pantheism: an examination of the influence of Spinozian pantheism on the English romantics
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis examines the influence of pantheism on the thought and poetry of the English romantics, particularly that of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Keats, and Shelley.The theoretical underpinnings of such a pantheism is ...
Design and analysis of an actuator/position sensor for microgravity vibration isolation
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
An actuator/position sensor was desired for Micrographics. microgravity vibration isolating. The actuator is to be used as a successor to the actuator used in the current microgravity vibration isolation system develop by ...
Effect of high pressure homogenization on lactic acid starter culture and the accelerated ripening of Cheddar cheese
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the elect hics. that homogenization of concentrated culture at high pressures would have on the growth, survival, and enzyme activity of lactic starter culture and to determine ...
The short-term effects of two chaining treatments on populations of Tabanus abactor Philip (Diptera: Tabanidae)
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The effect of chaining of rangeland on populations of Tabanus abactor Philip was evaluated on two ranches in the Texas Rolling Plains. Two chaining treatments were applied to the study area: standard surface level chaining, ...
Maximum-likelihood carrier estimation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The octagonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) phics. signaling is proven to be an elective way to overcome the effects of fading channel and multi-path by dividing the frequency selective fading channel into a number ...
Performance of OFDM and wavelet-packet based multicarrier communication
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The multicarrier communication is studied. Two special forms -OFDM multicarrier communication and wavelet-packet based multicarrier communication are presented. Multicarrier communication is the principle of transmitting ...
Rotordynamic evaluation of a tangential-injection hybrid bearing
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
: : Issued also on microfiche from Lange Micrographics. For future high-speed cryogenic turbomachinery, ball bearings will be replaced by hybrid bearings that combine hydrostatic and hydrodynamic effects. Hybrid bearings ...
