Comparison of the Prediction Accuracy of Daily and Monthly Regression Models for Energy Consumption in Commercial Buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The measured energy savings from retrofits in commercial buildings are generally determined as the difference between the energy consumption predicted using a baseline model and the measured energy consumption during the ...
The development of watercraft in the prehistoric southeastern United States
(1996-12)
The maritime and riverine past of the southeastern United States has often been ignored or poorly addressed in previous archaeological research. Historical records and archaeological data indicate that this heritage was ...
Had on and took with him : runaway indentured servant clothing in Virginia, 1774-1778
(1996-05)
The clothing of 18th century runaway indentured servants and convicts is described in detail in advertisements seeking their apprehension and return. As such the descriptions offer unique glimpses of a class of material ...
Analysis of the weight assemblages from the late Bronze Age shipwrecks at Uluburun and Cape Gelidonya, Turkey
(1996-12)
The assemblages of pan-balance weights recovered from the excavations of Cape Gelidonya and Uluburun shipwrecks, in southern Turkey, comprise the largest and most complete collection of Late Bronze Age pan-balance weights ...

(1996-08)
Beginning in 1991 and continuing through 1994, the Pan- American Institute of Maritime Archaeology (PIMA), a nonprofit scientific and educational institution based in San Francisco, California, undertook the excavation of ...
Birth to slaughter growth and carcass composition of Simmental-sired calves as influenced by birth season, pre-weaning stock rate, and sex
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Growth and carcass data were collected over 5 yr (I 984 through 1 988) from 53 5 1/2 Simmental x 1/4 Hereford x 1/4 Brahman calves (375 fall-bom and 160 winter-bom) reared at TAES-Overton under three different levels of ...
Implementation and testing of a parallel layer peeling algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The objective of this thesis is to examine the feasibility of parallelizing a previously published sequential algorithm. This algorithm uses invariant imbedding to solve an inverse problem associated with the first order, ...
Tissue culture based systems to validate the enzymatic detoxification of organophosphorus neurotoxicants
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This study was conducted to develop cell culture based systems to test the efficacy of enzyme prophylaxsis for the detoxification of organophosphorus (OP) neurotoxicants. The assays utilized for detecting OP neurotoxicity ...
Sensitivity analysis of window characteristics and their interactions on thermal performance in residential buildings
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
This thesis studies the effects of different window characteristics such as area, conductance and shading on annual energy performance in residential buildings. A single parameter analysis is used to quantify the effect ...
Influence of fat supplementation on postpartum reproductive performance in Brahman cows
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Multiparous Brahman cows (n=40) in excellent body condition (6.45 [] 0.12) were randomly assigned to receive either a fat-added (rice bran, 5.18 % EE) or a no fat-added (control, 3.74 % EE) supplement after calving. The ...
