(2018-03-07)Researchers interested in late-Pleistocene extinctions continue to debate the potential drivers of this event and, at times, do not even agree on the timing of extinction for various species in different regions. This ...
-
(2017-12-14)This thesis presents a Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) based transmitter that uses a nonlinear equalizer to equalize for nonlinear and bandwidth limited behavior of VCSEL. The transmitter employs PAM4 ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Project Management is the primary key to successful software development. In 1995 Caper Jones stated that the failure or cancellation rate of large software systems was over 20% in his article on patterns of large software ...
-
(2021-06-29)The surge of online education through the COVID-19 pandemic precipitated swift changes in almost every aspect of education, including summer programming. Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) camps, were ...
-
(2013-05-20)This dissertation contains two essays studying panel data econometric models. First, we consider the problem of estimating a nonparametric panel data models with fixed effects. We propose using the profile least squares ...

PANS method of turbulence: simulation of high and low Reynolds number flows past a circular cylinder (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The objective of the study is to investigate the capability of PANS (Partially Averaged Navier-Stokes Simulation) model over a wide range of Reynolds numbers and flow physics. In this regard, numerical simulations of ...
-
(2009-05-15)Partially Averaged Navier-Stokes (PANS) turbulence method provides a closuremodel for any degree of velocity field altering - ranging from completely resolved Di-rect Numerical Simulation (DNS) to completely averaged ...
-
(2009-05-15)A late antique shipwreck was excavated in the Pantano Longarini marsh in the southeastern corner of Sicily in the 1960s. Despite its excellent preservation, problematic circumstances surrounding its excavation and publication ...
-
(2016-06-21)Tracing the presence and function of big cats—panthers, especially—in multicultural American literature, this study reveals how that particular species group functions as a point of entry for disparate American cultures ...
-
(2021-12-10)Pregnancy is a complex period that requires many different biological processes, ultimately resulting in an inefficient system. A large portion of individual conceptus loss occurs during the peri-implantation period and ...
-
(2012-07-16)This dissertation focuses on novels and films produced in the second half of the twentieth century that critique traditional notions of home in contemporary America to expand on the large body of work on American domesticity ...
-
(2009-05-15)We sought to elucidate the individual nutrient restriction responsible for the greatest negative effects during exercise and food restriction. Sixty virgin, Sprague-Dawley female rats aged 4 months were acclimated to AIN-93M ...
-
(2016-05-02)Adaptive circuit design is a power-efficient approach to handle variations. Compared to conventional circuits, its implementation is more complicated especially when we deal with the fine-grained adaptivity. The unconventional ...
-
(2017-11-27)Micromachining process, such as laser micromachining and IC microfabrication process, allows production of complex structures in limited space, which reduces both the size and cost of hardware. In this research, using the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)In VLSI circuits, signal delays play an important role in design, timing verification and signal integrity checks. These delays are attributed to the presence of parasitic resistance, capacitance and inductance. With ...
-
(2010-10-12)As a most critical form of pre-silicon verification, transistor-level circuit simulation is an indispensable step before committing to an expensive manufacturing process. However, considering the nature of circuit simulation, ...
-
(2012-10-19)With the proliferation of parallel computing, parallel computer-aided design (CAD) has received significant research interests. Transient transistor-level circuit simulation plays an important role in digital/analog circuit ...
-
(2013-04-26)Multi-core architectures are present throughout a large selection of computing devices from cell phones to super-computers. Parallel applications running on these devices solve bigger problems in a shorter time. Writing ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is now increasingly being used for fast imaging applications such as real-time cardiac imaging, functional brain imaging, contrast enhanced MRI, etc. Imaging speed in MRI is mainly limited ...
-
(2014-04-18)The Bayesian method has proven to be a powerful way of modeling inverse problems. The solution to Bayesian inverse problems is the posterior distribution of estimated parameters which can provide not only estimates for the ...
