An Effective Implementation of Operational Inventory Management
(2010-01-16)
This Record of Study describes the Doctor of Engineering (DE) internship experience at the Supply Chain Systems Laboratory (SCSL) at Texas A&M University. The objective of the internship was to design and develop automation ...
Heat Transfer in Smooth and Ribbed Rectangular Two-Pass Channels with a Developing Flow Entrance at High Rotation Numbers
(2010-01-16)
Cooling channels with a developing flow entrance condition and aspect ratios of
1:4 and 2:1 were studied. The range of the rotation number and buoyancy parameter for
the selected AR channels was extended. The maximum Ro ...
A Study of Heuristic Approaches for Runway Scheduling for the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport
(2010-01-16)
Recent work in air transit efficiency has increased en-route efficiency to a point that
airport efficiency is the bottleneck. With the expected expansion of air transit it will
become important to get the most out of ...
Spectroscopic and Kinetic Investigation of the Catalytic Mechanism of Tyrosine Hydroxylase
(2011-02-22)
Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TyrH) is a pterin-dependent mononuclear non-heme iron
oxygenase. TyrH catalyzes the hydroxylation reaction of tyrosine to
dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This reaction is the first and the rate-limiting ...
A Study of the Process and Causes of Abeta(25-35) Amyloid Formation
(2011-02-22)
Amyloid fibrils results from a type of ordered polypeptide aggregation that is associated
with ailments such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). Annually, millions of people in the
United States alone develop and die from AD. ...
The Effect of LIFT on Life Effectiveness and Locus of Control
(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this study is to measure the effects of the Leadership Inspiration
Facilitation Team (LIFT) program on the life effectiveness and locus of control of a
group of sixth grade students at Schultz Middle School. ...
Adequacy Assessment in Power Systems Using Genetic Algorithm and Dynamic Programming
(2011-02-22)
In power system reliability analysis, state space pruning has been investigated to improve the efficiency of the conventional Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). New algorithms have been proposed to prune the state space so as ...
A COGNITIVE COMPENSATION MECHANSIM FOR DEFORMABLE ANTENNAS
(2010-07-14)
This thesis presents the design, theory, and measurement of a linearly polarized microstrip patch antenna with a novel substrate-integrated mechanism that can compensate the detuning effects from a physical deformation. ...
Biological and Ecological Aspects of Field Released Fire Ant Decapitating Flies Pseudacteon spp. (Diptera: Phoridae), Parasitoids of Red Imported Fire Ants Solenopsis invicta Buren (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)
(2010-01-14)
Multiple Pseudacteon phorid fly species, including P. tricuspis and P. curvatus,
have been released in the southern United States beginning in 1997 and 2003
(respectively) to serve as biological control agents against red ...
A Systematic Investigation of Shear Connections Between Full-Depth Precast Panels and Precast Prestressed Bridge Girders
(2010-07-14)
Full-depth precast panels are used in concrete bridges to provide several benefits
such as faster construction, lower cost and reduced constructional hazard. However, one
construction drawback is that connectors are required ...
