(2011-08-06)From the exterior, the United States has extracted natural resources and transformed the social dynamics of those living on the periphery, contributing to the emigration from Mexico and immigration to the United States. ...
-
(2009-05-15)Racial profiling, in the context of the current study, concerns the association of racial and/or ethnic status with criminality and manifests in the traffic stop. The body of knowledge now available on racial profiling has ...
-
(2011-02-22)The present study examines the evolution of the definitions of 31 terms having to do with three prominent religions in Spain: Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The definitions are analyzed for racism and religious bias in ...
-
(2022-07-27)Difficult knowledge refers to information with the potential to stir a range of emotional reactions and can include racism, genocide, social hatreds, as well as learning about traumatic events in history. Educators need ...
-
(2016-12-05)In this qualitative study, I examine the criminal justice system, specifically powerful individuals’ (primarily high-ranking police officers, district attorneys [also referenced as prosecutors], and authoritative judges) ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)This thesis presents a control algorithm to be used by a team of ECAVs (Electronic Combat Air Vehicle) to deceive a network of radars through the generation of a phantom track. Each ECAV has the electronic capability of ...
-
(2009-05-15)Land subsidence and coastal erosion are worldwide problems, particularly in densely populated deltas. The Nile Delta is no exception. Currently, it is undergoing land subsidence and is simultaneously experiencing retreat ...
-
(2011-08-08)The NASA Kennedy Space Center (KSC) is situated along the east coast of central Florida, where a high frequency of lightning occurs annually. Although cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning forecasting using radar echoes has been ...
-
(2013-07-05)The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), a tropical phenomenon that exists on the time scale of 30-90 days, commonly initiates over the Indian Ocean and slowly propagates into the western Pacific as a series of convective ...
-
(2011-02-22)Ten years (1997 - 2006) of summer (June, July, August) daytime (14 - 00 Z) Weather Surveillance Radar - 1988 Doppler data for Houston, TX were examined to determine the best radar-derived lightning forecasting predictors. ...
-
(2018-01-10)While supercell thunderstorms are the storms with the greatest potential of producing tornadoes, the majority of supercells do not produce tornadoes. Recent work has demonstrated that low-level (LL) vertical wind shear and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)In this dissertation, we consider various aspects of the boundary behavior of holomorphic functions of several complex variables. In dimension one, a characterization of the radial limit zero sets of nonconstant holomorphic ...
-
(2009-05-15)Three investigations were conducted on the nature of the radiance field in clear ocean water. It is important to understand the sunlight intensity below the sea surface because this leads to an understanding of how ocean ...
-
(2016-07-26)Next generation fast spectrum reactors require structural materials that can tolerate higher temperature and radiation damage compared to the currently used metal alloys. It has been discovered that the ferritic steels ...
-
(2013-04-15)High energy neutron and charged particle radiation cause microstructural and mechanical degradation in structural metals and alloys, such as phase segregation, void swelling, embrittlement and creep. Radiation induced ...
-
(2017-06-21)Energetic particles propagating through crystalline materials can transfer their kinetic energy to target atoms in the form of knock-on collisions. These target atoms can then cause subsequent collisions with other target ...
-
(2016-07-27)The research objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the capability of ‘radiation’ integrated circuits (RICs) to serve as a new type of radiation detection medium. Designed at Texas A&M University, the RIC contains ...
-
(2022-10-04)The construction of new nuclear power plants in the Middle East region calls for an estimate of the radiation dose to the general members of public in the region due to an accidental radiological release, even though it ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Six radiation dosimetry and medical physics problems were analyzed using a beta version of MCNP 5 as part of an international intercomparison of radiation dosimetry computer codes, sponsored by the European Commission ...
-
(2013-08-05)Ion irradiation has been known to be an effective tool for structure modification with micro/nano-scale precision. Recently, demonstrations have been made for nano-machining, such as the cutting and welding of carbon ...
