Exploration of the comics medium developed for use on the internet
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A new derivative of the comics medium may be created by incorporating computer and internet technology into the design process. Traditionally a printed medium, comics is now finding its way onto the internet; more comic ...
Assessment of bycatch associated with the inshore shrimp fishery in Matagorda Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Trawl samples were collected from shrimping vessels throughout the Matagorda Bay System during the 1997 and 1998 Spring and Fall inshore commercial food shrimp seasons. These samples were used to estimate the level of ...
Converting the choir: a process study of member reactions to ministerial succession
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis examines leader succession in churches from the perspective of church members. The author sought to determine what processes organization members experience as their churches change ministers, as well as how ...
The effects of obstacle geometry on jet mixing in releases of silane
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Releases of silane into air and the effects of obstacles were modeled with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code, FLUENT. First the CFD code simulated the release of a free turbulent jet of silane into air to assure ...
Weather and emotional state: a search for associations between weather and calls to telephone counseling services
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Calls to four telephone counseling services, or "hotlines", each serving communities in a major metropolitan area of the United States (Detroit, Washington DC, Dallas and Seattle), were analyzed for influence from daily ...
Position control of a servopneumatic system using fuzzy compensation
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The position control of a servopneumatic system in the presence of stick-slip type of friction is investigated. A cost effective, model-free fuzzy compensation scheme is proposed. The fuzzy compensation scheme compensates ...
Kinetic studies of isoprene reactions with hydroxyl and chlorine radicals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Kinetic studies of the isoprene oxidation reactions initiated by the hydroxyl radical OH and the chlorine atom Cl have been investigated using a fast-flow reactor in conjunction with chemical ionization mass spectrometry ...
Involvement of peroxidases in the Medicago truncatula-Rhizobium meliloti symbiosis
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The symbiotic interaction between legume plants and bacteria of the family Rhizobiaceae leads to the production of nitrogen fixing nodules on the plant. Nodule production is an expensive process and hence is highly regulated ...
Dynamic soil-structure interaction-comparison of FEM model with experimental results
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Linearly elastic finite element models are developed for particular scale-model gravity retaining wall structures. The sand is modeled as a homogenous isotropic linearly elastic continuum. Models are created in four ...
Red rice (Oryza sativa L.) control in herbicide tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Red rice has interfered with production of commercial rice in the United States for over 150 years. Because of the genetic and physiological similarities between red rice and commercial rice, herbicides have been unsuccessful ...
