(2019-04-05)In this work, we developed a new interface concept for content exploring in immersing Virtual Reality environments. In our shopping interface, we represent products as true 3D shapes with global illumination effects. This ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)We investigate conditions for the ergodicity of threshold autoregressive time series by embedding the time series in a general state Markov chain and apply a FosterLyapunov drift condition to demonstrate ergodicity of the ...
-
(2018-04-30)Traditional views on urban vacancies have been concerned primarily with the negative influences on safety, property values, and health issues; more recent views attempt to shed light on the potential for greening and ...
-
(2018-05-31)Due to the current consumer health concerns regarding processed foods, there is an increasing market interest on highly nutritious foods. One method to improve their nutritional value is to introduce health-benefiting ...
-
(2023-04-11)The parts manufactured from Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) process are characterized by the inherent voids of the printing technique. These voids are the primary reason of the FFF parts' decreased strength and significant ...

Vaginal Inoculation of Uropathogenic E. Coli during Estrus Leads to Genital and Renal Colonization (2022-05-27)Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections, particularly in women, children, and the elderly. Uropathogenic E. coli (UPEC) is the predominant etiological agent of UTI. To better understand ...
-
(2019-10-21)In this dissertation, we develop new methodologies and algorithms to solve the multi-module (survivable) network design problem. Many real-world decision-making problems can be modeled as network design problems, especially ...
-
(2017-01-13)This study explores how the concept of sustainable transportation relates other broad and overarching concepts that have emerged recently in the transportation sector, such as livability, health, and resilience. This study ...
-
(2014-08-13)Deep–sea black corals have been found to be long-lived and grow in a tree like fashion depositing rings in their skeleton that have been suggested to be annual growth bands. Iodine was used in this study to develop a novel ...
-
(2010-01-14)The validity of the influence of urban form on travel behavior has been a topic of interest in travel behavior research. Empirical research shows that urban form influences travel behavior causing less travel impacts. ...
-
(2023-04-28)The Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) is one of multiple advanced reactor designs that has received increased attention due to its enhanced safety features, reduced waste production, and increased non-proliferation capabilities. ...
-
(2018-04-13)Fractional-order differential equations have been very effective in modeling the behavior of various phenomena that have been otherwise difficult to accurately simulate. A new class of predictor-corrector schemes for solving ...
-
(2023-08-01)The amount of published research on the MEC of sulfur dust remains rather limited. This work aims to contribute to the development of an existing phenomenological model to predict the Minimum Explosion Concentration (MEC) ...
-
(2010-01-16)Accurate measurement of stallion spermatozoal concentration is important to equine breeding operations. The hemacytometer is considered the standard for measuring spermatozoal concentration but is time consuming and may ...
-
(2019-06-20)Emergency responders could be exposed to loose radioactive material during a mission. As part of a research project at Texas A&M University, 18F was sprayed in a small area where an Exercise Participant (in protective gear) ...
-
(2023-03-23)The vector-borne protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi causes Chagas disease in humans, dogs, and many other mammalian hosts. Canine Chagas disease is increasingly diagnosed in dogs of the southern US where triatomine insect ...
-
(2009-05-15)Prediction of functions of genes in a genome is a key step in all genome sequencing projects. Sequences that carry out important functions are likely to be conserved between evolutionarily distant species and can be ...
-
(2014-08-01)In the present research, the three dimensional particle tracking software OpenPTV is validated with synthetic images from the Standard PIV project by the Visualization Society of Japan, and with experimental data from the ...
-
(2009-05-15)Higher risks of food-borne illness associated with increased consumption of poultry products make it necessary to identify potential sources of contamination and apply intervention strategies that will prevent or minimize ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Torsional vibration is an oscillatory angular twisting motion in the rotating members of a system. It can be deemed quite dangerous in that it cannot be detected as easily as other forms of vibration, and hence, subsequent ...
