Global P-Delta effects in seismic demand evaluation of vibration controlled steel frames
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of the research was to investigate the effect of global P-Delta on the seismic response of structures. A SAC II three story structure and a reduced order portal frame were the focus of study. The motivation to ...
Dynamic address allocation protocols for Mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Address allocation is an important issue in Mobile ad hoc networks. This thesis proposes solutions to assign unique IP addresses to nodes participating in Mobile ad hoc networks and evaluates the proposed solutions. Address ...
A stochastic model to mimic periodic surface currents in embayments
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In a new attempt to solve the fundamental fluid equations, this thesis details an original model with the ultimate goal of aiding commercial oil spill simulations. This model follows the approach employed by lattice gas ...
The theoretical model of the design-advertising agency in Almaty, Kazakhstan, based on the experience of the same business in Austin, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study discussed a theoretical model for the start-up stage of a design-advertising agency in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The model is designed based on the analysis of the same industry in Austin, Texas, USA and takes into ...
Distributed optical fiber vibration sensing
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis presents a distributed optical fiber vibration sensor. The purpose of this sensing system is to monitor, in real time, the status of railcars by burying an optical fiber underground beside the rails. Using a ...
Experimental and theoretical studies of OH-initiated reactions of isoprene
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Photochemical oxidation of isoprene plays a significant role in tropospheric ozone production. The OH-initiated reactions of isoprene are the dominant daytime removal pathway for isoprene. The OH-isoprene reactions proceed ...
Characterization of tortillas and tortilla chips from sorghum varieties high in phenolic compounds
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The effects of varying pH and sorghum type on tortilla and tortilla chip properties were evaluated. Masas from white, brown and black sorghums were adjusted to pH levels of 7 (neutral), 9 (control) and 11 (alkaline) and ...
xDSL line driver design
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
xDSL line driver is a very important element in xDSL systems. This thesis proposes a three stage xDSL line driver solution based on a multipath feedforward compensation principle. TSMC 0.8 micro meter high voltage BiCMOS ...
Surface performance grading and grade selection process for surface treatment binders
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Surface treatments have been used by many government agencies as part of their maintenance and rehabilitation programs to improve surface quality and extend the service life of pavements. Traditional specifications for ...
Validation of an improved computer algorithm for precipitation echo classification
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A validation of an improved radar reflectivity partitioning scheme was performed using radar data collected for three separate precipitation systems in Central Texas. The improved algorithm was compared to a previously ...
