Commerce and society in the urban Philippines : a comparative study
(2001)
Until recently, the negative effects associated with the spread of large retail institutions away from the central business districts of local communities was most commonly identified with towns and cities in the developed ...
Nutritional ecology of white-tailed deer : effects of gender on foraging behavior and digestive efficiency
(2001)
Differential resource use, habitat partitioning, and sexual segregation have been noted for many ungulate species. However, the mechanisms behind sexual segregation have not been resolved. This study was designed to examine ...
Biotic and abiotic factors influencing nonbreeding raptor assemblages in southern Texas
(2001)
I investigated factors influencing diversity ami abundance of wintering raptor assemblages in southern Texas. I approached this problem from several spatial and temporal scales, ranging from continental to patch, and 30 ...
Thermionic phenomena of the Earth's core and its effect on the geomagnetic field
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this model, we will show that the high-density quasi-plasma forms at the outer surface of the outer core and accounts for the geomagnetic field. The level of thermo-ionization at the outer surface of Earth's outer core ...
Delayed congestion response protocols
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
There has been a surge of new real-time multimedia applications over the IP network which cannot use TCP because the congestion control algorithm of TCP results in drastic variations in the sending rate, which in turn ...
Impingement drying of potato chips
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Superheated steam impingement drying was used as an alternative technique to develop nutritious fat-free potato chips. The effect of superheated steam temperature (115, 130, and 145° C) and convective heat transfer coefficient ...
Use of remote sensing and geographic information systems to study the epidemiology of oak wilt in Dallas, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Color infrared (CIR) aerial photography and a geographic information system (GIS/ArcView) were used to categorized forty-four oak wilt centers in a 50 square mile area to study why disease incidence, caused by Ceratocystis ...
Frequency and amplitude shifts in the whistle vocalizations of bottlenose dolphins in response to anthropogenic noise
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Anthropogenic noise can have a number of negative effects on cetaceans including the masking of biologically important sounds. Although many observational studies are found in the literature, few data have been published ...
An experimental and computational leakage investigation of labyrinth seals with rub grooves of actual size and shape
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A large scale water test facility and a commercial CFD computer program were used to investigate labyrinth seals with rub grooves of actual size and shape found in aircraft engines. The 2-D test rig cases focused on the ...
Importance of physical processes on near-surface nutrient distributions in summer in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
As part of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico chemical oceanography and hydrography study, data on salinity, nutrients, and surface chlorophyll were collected three times per year over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico along ...
