DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL MARGIN OBSERVATION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CMOAS) TO CAPTURE THE EPISODIC EVENTS IN A SHALLOW BAY
(2010-07-14)
Corpus Christi Bay (TX, USA) is a shallow wind-driven bay which is designated
as a National Estuary due to its impact on the economy. But this bay experiences
periodic hypoxia (dissolved oxygen <2 mg/l) which threatens ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
Automated Vehicle Articulation and Animation: A Maxscript Approach
(2011-02-22)
This thesis presents an efficient, animation production-centric solution to the articulation
and animation of computer generated automobiles for creating animations with a high
degree of believability. The thesis has two ...
Development of equations to determine the increase in pavement condition due to treatment and the rate of decrease in condition after treatment for a local agency pavement network.
(2010-07-14)
Cost effective maintenance of pavement sections requires timely preventive maintenance
and planned rehabilitation treatments. Knowledge of the increase in condition due to
application of treatment and the loss of condition ...
Characterization of the Femoral Neck Region’s Reponse to the Rat Hindlimb Unloading Model through Tomographic Scanning, Mechanical Testing and Estimated Strengths
(2011-02-22)
Bone quality and the conditions that affect it make up a large field of study. One specific area of interest is the loss in bone strength during exposure to microgravity. The femoral neck (FN) region in particular is an ...
Integration of Micro Patterning Techniques into Volatile Functional Materials and Advanced Devices
(2010-07-14)
Novel micro patterning techniques have been developed for the patterning of
volatile functional materials which cannot be conducted by conventional
photolithography. First, in order to create micro patterns of volatile ...
A Technical and Economic Study of Completion Techniques In Five Emerging U.S. Gas Shale Plays
(2010-07-14)
methane and other higher order hydrocarbons, through C4, with interest in further
developing reactions important to methane- and ethane-related chemistry.
With the increased demand for energy and the declining conventional ...
Numerical Simulation of the Flow of a Power Law Fluid in an Elbow Bend
(2010-07-14)
A numerical study of flow of power law fluid in an elbow bend has been carried out. The motivation behind this study is to analyze the velocity profiles, especially the pattern of the secondary flow of power law fluid in ...
Meteorological Factors Regulating the Population Expansion and Contraction of Amblyomma maculatum (Acari: Ixodidae) in Texas
(2010-10-12)
The interaction of tick species and the microclimate that they inhabit is a subject that is frequently studied. The known biology of the Gulf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum Koch (Acari: Ixodidae), was used to conduct ...
A Comparison of Sport Consumption Motives Between American Students and Asian International Students
(2011-02-22)
The purpose of this study was to explore the differences between American students and Asian international students' frequency of sport spectating, motivation, team identification, future behavior and perceived barriers ...
