Development of an automated optical system for corneal birefringence characterization
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The aim of this project was the qualitative and quantitative characterization of the variations in the corneal birefringence in the rabbit eye through the design and development of an automated optical setup. The results ...
Effects of aggregate gradation and angularity on VMA and rutting resistance
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
About 85 percent of hot mix asphalt (HMA) by volume and 95 percent of HMA by weight consists of mineral aggregate. The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) research effort concentrated on properties and testing of ...
Caged Molecular Fluorescence Velocimetry to measure meso-to micro-scale thermal flow fields
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A caged molecular fluorescence velocimetry (caged MFV) system has been developed to measure velocity profiles of thin meniscus flow fields commonly established in micro-scale thermocapillary devices such as micro heat pipe ...
Maximum likelihood sequence estimation for multipath fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis addresses receiver design for multipath fading channels. The channel model was chosen to closely resemble a typical land mobile fading channel. Three receivers will be compared in this work. The first will ...
Prototyping a web-based Architectural Project Archival System (APAS)
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Digital communication technology, particularly the Internet, is increasingly being used in the field of architecture as a medium of collaboration. With the Internet, architects can more quickly and conveniently communicate ...
Force measurements in magnetic bearings using fiber optic strain gauges
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The research presented here develops a new method for measuring forces in magnetic bearings. Fiber-optic strain gauges (FOSGs) mounted to the side of the magnet poles are used to detect the small levels of strain that the ...
Active flow separation control using synthetic jet actuators
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The use of synthetic jet actuators for controlling the boundary layer flow and flow separation over a wing is investigated. A theory for the optimum design of actuators using motors is developed. A motor driven synthetic ...
A fruitful experience at Frieda's, Inc.
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In fulfillment of the requirements for my Master of Agriculture degree, I did a summer internship at Frieda's, Inc. in Los Alamitos, California. Frieda's is an importer and distributor of specialty produce. I assisted with ...
MPEG-aware disk storage system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In the past decades the demand for systems that can process and deliver massive amount of storage has increased. Multimedia applications such as streaming audio and video require large amounts of data to be read from disk ...
Reclaiming earthen drainage channels using organic soil amendments
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The Harris County Flood Control District (HCFCD) manages more than 4800 km of drainage waterways in and around Houston, Texas. It is difficult for the HCFCD to maintain channels due to poor vegetation establishment and ...
