Overpressure prediction by mean total stress estimate using well logs for compressional environments with strike-slip or reverse faulting stress state
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Predicting correct pore-pressure is important for drilling applications. Wellbore stability
problems, kicks, or even blow-outs can be avoided with a good estimate of porepressure.
Conventional pore-pressure estimation ...
Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by Fe(ii) in degradative solidification/stabilization
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation examines the applicability of the iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (DS/S-Fe(II)) to various chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) that are common chemicals of concern at contaminated ...
A comparison of a Klockenburg style split keyboard and a standard PC keyboard on typing speed and posture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The current study compares biomechanical and productivity outcomes
related to the use of a Klockenburg (split and angled) style keyboard as opposed
to the use of a standard PC 101 style keyboard among office workers. The ...
Describing the readiness for retention of students of color at state and land-grant colleges of agriculture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current demographics indicate that populations of color are on the rise across the United States. Although enrollments of students of color are increasing, first year retention rates are lower compared to their peers. ...
Construction project partnering in Texas' public universities
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Partnering is a tool used in the construction industry to reduce claims and litigations and
also to deliver a quality product in a cost efficient and timely manner. This research
analyzes the impact of the partnering process ...
Conjugated linoleic acid reduces lipid oxidation in irradiated, cooked ground beef patties
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This study was conducted to examine the antioxidative effect of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in irradiated, cooked ground beef patties. The hypothesis was that CLA would be retained during irradiation and would reduce ...
To degrade and control: white violence and the maintenance of racial and gender boundaries in reconstruction Texas, 1865-1868
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Immediately following the Civil War in 1865, African Americans in Texas faced extremely brutal violence perpetrated by whites. This dissertation examines the racial violence that permeated the state during the period of ...
CD8+ T cell antiviral activity: mechanism of induction and the suppression of emerging feline immunodeficiency virus strains
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
In the present studies, the essential role of inducer cells for the induction of soluble anti-viral activity against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was investigated. Induction of suppression of FIV replication was ...

As an intern with Byrne Medical Inc., I took part in several development and validation
projects for medical products. A design project for a medical irrigation pump for
endoscopic procedure is the focus for my Doctor of ...
The theoretical development of a new high speed solution for Monte Carlo radiation transport computations
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Advancements in parallel and cluster computing have made many complex
Monte Carlo simulations possible in the past several years. Unfortunately, cluster
computers are large, expensive, and still not fast enough to make the ...
