(2016-05-31)This dissertation is devoted to the study of the growth of algebras and formal languages. It consists of three parts. The first part is devoted to the growth of finitely presented quadratic algebras. The study of these ...
-
(2013-08-05)With additional research on species characteristics and continued work towards cost effective production methods, algae are viewed as a possible alternative biofuel crop to current feedstocks such as corn. Current open ...
-
(2020-11-12)Considerable research has been conducted to evaluate the productivity of biomass sorghum hybrids for bioenergy production, but research questions were mostly focused on determining the highest yielding hybrid for a single ...
-
(2016-11-09)ABSTRACT Spiranthes parksii Correll, a terrestrial orchid protected under the Endangered Species Act, and its congener Spiranthes cernua (L.) Rich, were studied in the Post Oak Savanna Ecoregion of Central Texas in 2014 ...
-
(2016-04-22)Gas-To-Liquid (GTL) Diesel fuel produced from synthetic crudes obtained from natural gas that is converted by the Fisher Tropsch (FT) technology is a promising key player for the mobility industry future along with ...
-
(2009-05-15)This dissertation concerns the discovery of the ability of the guanidinate ligand hpp (hpp = anion of 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydropyrimido[1,2-a]pyrimidine) to stabilize high oxidation states of dimetal units (particularly ...
-
(2012-07-16)This dissertation addresses the accuracy of a-posteriori error estimators for finite element solutions of problems with high orthotropy especially for cases where rather coarse meshes are used, which are often encountered ...
-
(2016-01-25)This dissertation proposes a programming model for Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) that relieves the programmer of a difficult and error-prone task: orchestrating concurrent responses to events to ensure data dependencies ...
-
(2021-03-24)Cyberbullying is a modern threat that continues to plague vulnerable adolescent children. As their access to technology increases, so does their risk for cyberbullying. Schools have a unique challenge to utilize technology ...
-
(2015-06-25)In the United States, it is widely recognized that racial and ethnic minorities now constitute an ever-expanding share of the general population. While this growth has catapulted minorities to the forefront of the public ...
-
(2022-08-17)Integrated reservoir studies for performance prediction and decision-making processes are computationally expensive. In this paper, we develop a novel linearization approach to reduce the computational burden of intensive ...
-
(2012-11-16)Three kinds of propagating waves physically admissible in a tubular section are derived to establish their dispersion characteristics in response to the presence of multi-layered viscoelastic coatings. One is the longitudinal ...
-
(2011-02-22)Reservoir fluids are rarely found in homogeneous structures having homogeneous properties. The various elements and processes of the petroleum system result in complex fluid distributions and compositions. A sound understanding ...
-
(2019-05-27)This dissertation presents design guidelines to design a roadside system against vehicle collision. The system is composed of a concrete roadside barrier anchored to a moment slab (barrier-moment slab or BMS) and placed ...
-
(2017-12-09)In North Carolina, Local Education Agencies (LEA) control the curriculum resources used to teach and assess the state mathematics standards. Districts that have funds can purchase costly commercially-made assessments which ...
-
(2012-02-14)In film and still photography, depth of field control is often employed to control viewer interest in an image. This technique is also used in computer animation, but, in a medium where artists have near infinite control, ...
-
(2011-02-22)Do nations' allies and trading partners affect their vulnerability to transnational terrorist attacks? Prior research has focused on how the attributes of individual nations, such as regime type, economic stability, and ...
-
(2023-01-26)Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is a leading cause of developmental disabilities in newborns. The guinea pig, with guinea pig CMV (GPCMV) infection, is the only small animal model for cCMV. GPCMV encodes functional ...
-
(2010-10-12)The author develops a nonlinear longitudinal model of an aircraft modeled by rigid fuselage, tail, and wing, where the wing is attached to the fuselage with a torsional spring. The main focus of this research is to retain ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The main goal of string phenomenology is to find a convincing connection be- tween realistic particle physics and string theory. An extended object called D-brane in string theory is shown as a very powerful tool to resolve ...
