(2009-06-02)Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for 85% of kidney cancer incidence in the US. Since 1950 there has been a 126% increase in kidney cancer incidence in the US. Thirty percent of new patients present with a localized ...
-
(2009-05-15)The field of agricultural education relies on multiple research journals to disseminate findings. This study focused on a 10-year content analysis of research published in premier journals in agricultural education. The ...

(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)A beta-emitting glass seed was proposed for the brachytherapy treatment of prostate cancer. Criteria for seed design were derived and several beta-emitting nuclides were examined for suitability. 142Pr was selected as the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Within the collections of the Museu de Angra do Heroismo (Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal) are nine cast bronze guns from the 16th century. Most were raised from the seafloor between the 1960s and 1990s, but this study ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Hard disk drive applications require a high Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), 6-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) at conversion rates of 1GHz and beyond. This work proposes a robust, fault-tolerant scheme to achieve ...

A 200-MHz fully-differential CMOS front-end with an on-chip inductor for magnetic resonance imaging (Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Recently, there is a growing interest in applying electronic circuit design for biomedical applications, especially in the area of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). NMR has been used for many years as a spectroscopy technique ...
-
(2011-02-22)The United States contains an estimated 100,000 miles (160000 km) of levees in which erosion related issues are the top priorities. Proper documentation of overtopping induced erosion is a complicated issue involving the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)A three dimensional (3-D) capacitance extraction algorithm based on a kernel independent hierarchical method and geometric moments is described. Several techniques are incorporated, which leads to a better overall performance ...
-
(2010-01-14)Pointe du Hoc overlooking the English Channel in Normandy, France was host to one of the most important military engagements of World War II. While the site is a valuable historic cultural resource, it is vulnerable to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In the northern Gulf of Mexico, seafloor hydrocarbon fluid and gas seepage is an ubiquitous process on the continental margin. Although seafloor seepage and seep-related features (mud volcanoes, carbonate formation) have ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)In this study, the structure, depositional system, and the seismic stratigraphy of the VLE 196 area, Block V in Lamar Field were interpreted using 3-D seismic data and well logs to characterize structural and depositional ...
-
(2010-07-14)Recently, there is growing interest in high speed circuits for broadband communication, especially in wired networks. As the data rate increases beyond 1 GB/s conventional materials used as communication channels such as ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)A hull-mounted 38-kHz phased-array acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) was used to acoustically survey the continental margin of the northern Gulf of Mexico (GOM) during 6 cruises in 2002-2003. This is the first ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)The complex interrelations among the different physical processes involved in acid fracturing make it difficult to design, and later, to predict the outcome of stimulation jobs. Actual tendencies require the use of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The purpose of this project is to develop a software framework, a 3D engine, which will generate images to be projected onto facets of a spatially immersive display (SID). The goal is to develop a software library to support ...
-
(2009-05-15)In this dissertation, we focus on two related parts of a 3D face recognition system with wireless transportation. In the first part, the core components of the system, namely, the feature extraction and classification ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Relatively little is known about marine controlled-source electromagnetic surveys (MCSEM) used to detect hydrocarbon reservoirs. Typical MCSEM require the use of inversion to generate a model of the subsurface. We utilize ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The objective of my research is to revive and practice the art of traditional pictorial maps in 3D cartographic visualization. I have chosen to create both graphical and statistical pictorial maps which can be used for ...
