(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Molecular and in vitro comparisons were performed using two isolates of Encephalitozoon hellem, one from an avian host and one from a human host, and one isolate of Encephalitozoon cuniculi from a rabbit. The molecular ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A "low cost fault detection system" that identifies wheel flats and defective tracks is explored here. This is achieved with the conjunction of sensors, microcontrollers and Radio Frequency (RF) transceivers. The objective ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Manufacture testing of digital integrated circuits is essential for high quality. However, exhaustive testing is impractical, and only a small subset of all possible test patterns (or test pattern pairs) may be applied. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In this work we propose two new Vogel-type Inflow Performance Relations (or IPR) correlations for gas-condensate reservoir systems. One correlation predicts dry gas production the other predicts condensate (liquid) ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A wide band linearly chirped erbium-doped fiber laser has been developed. The erbium-doped fiber laser using a rotating mirror/grating combination as one of the reflectors in a Fabry-Perot laser cavity has been tuned over ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The goal of this study was to develop an instrument to assist public park and recreation agencies in successfully repositioning their offerings in order to garner increased allocations of tax dollars. To achieve this, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This study looks at improving reduced platen compression (RPC) specimen preparation procedures by developing a better method for locating the ideal RPC specimen on each bone. These improvements are aimed at decreasing the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This research quantifies the seismic vulnerability of older reinforced concrete frame structures located in Mid-America. After designing a representative three-story gravity load designed reinforced concrete frame structure, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This dissertation presents the development of an anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model to describe the permanent deformation of asphalt pavements. The model is developed to account for several phenomena that ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This study uses qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to examine the basis of industry political power by assessing conditions of economic interdependence and political action associated with the passage of the Economic ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In the field of computer graphics, shaders provide an interface between lights and surfaces, giving the appearance of metal, plastic, wood, etc. As the field progresses, more and more shaders are required to simulate a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Historical accounts of mortuary display during the 19th-century and evidence from archaeological investigations at historic cemeteries can contribute substantially to our understanding of related chronological and social-status ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Modification of nuclear resonant absorption by means of laser radiation is analyzed both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical analysis is done on the basis of four-level model of atom. This model includes both ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The purpose of this study was to describe the investigation of the Mica shipwreck. The objectives of the investigation, as identified by nautical archaeologists from the United States Minerals Management Service and the ...
