Uranium Powder Production Via Hydride Formation and Alpha Phase Sintering of Uranium and Uranium-zirconium Alloys for Advanced Nuclear Fuel Applications
(2010-07-14)
The research in this thesis covers the design and implementation of a depleted
uranium (DU) powder production system and the initial results of a DU-Zr-Mg alloy alpha
phase sintering experiment where the Mg is a surrogate ...
Effects of Constrained Aging on the Shape Memory Response of Nickel Rich Niti Shape Memory Alloys
(2011-02-22)
Ni50.6Ti49.4 single and Ni52Ti48 polycrystalline shape memory alloy samples were subjected to aging under a uniaxial stress, to form a single Ni4Ti3 precipitate variant and to investigate the effects of single versus ...
Geological Modeling of Dahomey and Liberian Basins
(2010-01-16)
The objective of this thesis is to study two Basins of the Gulf of Guinea (GoG),
namely the Dahomey and the Liberian Basins. These Basins are located in the northern
part of the GoG, where oil and gas exploration has ...
Effects of Single Mode Initial Conditions in Rayleigh-Taylor Turbulent Mixing
(2011-02-22)
The effect of single mode initial conditions at the interface of Rayleigh-Taylor(RT) mixing are experimentally examined utilizing the low Atwood number water channel facility at Texas A&M. The water channel convects two ...
A FRAMEWORK FOR DEFENDING AGAINST PREFIX HIJACK ATTACKS
(2010-01-16)
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) prefix hijacking is a serious problem in the Internet today. Although there are several services being offered to detect a prefix hijack, there has been little work done to prevent a hijack ...
Hull Remains from the Pabuç Burnu Shipwreck and Early Transition in Archaic Greek Shipbuilding
(2010-10-12)
In 2002 and 2003, the Institute of Nautical Archaeology excavated the remains of an East Greek ship that sank off the coast of Pabuç Burnu, Turkey, sometime in the second quarter of the sixth century B.C. The scant remains ...
Effect of Injection and Frozen Storage on the Quality Attributes of Fully Cooked Bone-In Hams
(2010-07-14)
This study determined the effects of sucrose and sorbitol as cryoprotectant (CR)
on the quality and sensory attributes of bone-in hams (N=90) injected (20% of weight)
with following brine treatments (BT): control (2% ...
Analysis of Automotive Turbocharger Nonlinear Response Including Bifurcations
(2010-10-12)
Automotive turbochargers (TCs) increase internal combustion engine power and
efficiency in passenger and commercial vehicles. TC rotors are usually supported on
floating ring bearings (FRBs) or semi-floating ring bearings ...
Population Status and Evaluation of Landscape Change for the Lower Keys Marsh Rabbit
(2011-02-22)
Wildlife biologists and land managers tasked with the recovery of the endangered Lower Keys
marsh rabbit (LKMR; Sylvilagus palustris hefneri) were in need of a current population estimate as well as
a method to estimate ...
Effect of Collection Method and Archiving Conditions on the Survivability of Vegetative and Spore Forming Bacteria
(2010-10-12)
To ensure effective detection of bio-particles, it is crucial to understand the
effects of collection method and archiving conditions on the survivability of bioaerosols,
consequently, the survivability of the spore-forming ...
