(1986)Computer application using expert systems has recently become of interest to researchers in many fields of science and engineering. Discussed in this report are current uses, collected through literature research and ...
-
(1986)Child care is a major concern of the eighties. At least fifty percent of all mothers are employed, meaning an increasing demand for child care on both the local and national levels. Bryan/College Station is no different. ...
-
(2012-04-22)This work provides a detailed analysis of the general Sudoku problem with particular attention given to the first nontrivial case. A formal mathematical model is developed and used to determine several important parameters; ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The impact of tropical precipitation on the global energy budget has long been an important topic of investigation. To more accurately assess large-scale heating, we must first understand the small scale cloud processes ...
-
(1980)Synoptic analysis, diagnostic calculations of vorticity and divergence, and satellite imagery are used to determine the role played by the surrounding synoptic features in the intensity changes of a minimal Gulf of Mexico ...
-
(2006-08-16)Histology, though widely used for cellular imaging, suffers from its destructive nature; cells are not viewed in their natural living environment. Nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM) has been widely used to view cells in ...
-
(1989)This paper discusses the experimentation and results of a Nd:YAG laser optical trapping experiment. The samples used were 10 micrometer polystyrene spheres and living chloroplasts. A minimum power level of 150 milliwatts ...

-
(2007-07-14)Temulose is a wastewater stream created in the production of medium-density fiberboard. It has a high sugar content, and therefore cannot be released into standard wastewater systems. Current methods for disposal of the ...
-
(1982)An optimized one- and two-stage design procedure for supersonic gas ejectors is presented. The design procedure is based upon a one-dimensional, constant area ejector analysis. The design of gas ejectors to recover natural ...
-
(1994)The need for a change in the degree of muscling in today’s beef cattle was determined primarily by the National Beef Quality Audit. Studies involving carcass characteristics of diverse breeds of cattle were evaluated to ...
-
(1998)The oral recall technique provides a comprehensive and useful analysis of reading comprehension. The assessment of Limited English Proficient (LEP) students is especially important; by discovering their patterns of recall, ...
-
