New method for classifying construction information
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Classification plays a vital role in construction specifications, structuring of construction documents, measuring bills of quantities, and calculation of construction costs. A multitude of classification systems exists ...
Priority and fair scheduling in wireless local area networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In recent years, fair scheduling and quality of service (QoS) in Wireless Local Area Networks have received significant attention from the networking research community. This thesis presents a distributed Medium Access ...
The effects of vegetation parameter aggregation on modeled evapotranspiration
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The effect of the scale of vegetation parameter aggregation on modeled evapotranspiration pattern and rate is explored. Vegetation biomass, height and fractional coverage per model grid cell were the vegetation parameters ...
"To brush history against the grain": toward a historiography of dialectical materialism and Theresa Hak Kyung Cha's Dicteé
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Taking Cha's novel Dictě as a critical illustration, this study addresses some questions about the writing of history in search of a historiography that does not gloss over muffled stories of some in order to legitimize ...
Identification and characterization of agent for reductive dechlorination in mixtures of ferrous iron and Portland cement
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Degradative Solidification/Stabilization (DS/S) is a modification of conventional S/S in which organic pollutants are destroyed while inorganic pollutants are immobilized. Fe(II) is used in Fe(II)-based DS/S as a reductant ...
The effects of the meat binding agent, Activa[TM] TG-RM, on fresh beef at the retail level
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Ribeye rolls and top blade roasts were fabricated from corresponding sides of twenty-four beef carcasses varying in USDA quality and yield grades. The kernel fat that lies between the Spinalis dorsi and the Longissimus ...
Effects of burial history, rock ductility and recovery magnitude on inversion of normal faulted strata
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Inversion of normal faults at different burial depths is studied using physical models constructed with rock and deformed at confining pressure. Models consist of a 1 cm thick limestone layer above a fault dipping 70° in ...
Paleogene cooling (55-30 MA) as inferred from oxygen isotope variation within mollusc shells
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Paleogene cooling (c. 50-30 Ma) started sometime in the early-middle Eocene. This was a time when high-latitude and deep-sea temperatures were significantly warmer than today. This cooling culminated during the earliest ...
The impact of exchange rates on beef and cattle trade in North America
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A long-standing area of debate in agriculture revolves around the impact of exchange rates on prices and trade. The ability to compete worldwide in an import-export market for agricultural products is of critical importance ...
The exposition pavilion: a play of structure and sign
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis is a critical inquiry into the nature of expositions using a structuralist semiotic approach in the analysis. The analysis aids in modifying theoretical assumptions in academia and tenders a methodical, complete ...
