Alfred Lord Tennyson's propensity to contribute with regularity during the first half of his career to feminized, popular "gift books" gives credence to the question of motivation for such frequent contributions. Certainly ...
A qualitative and quantitative description of nuclear envelope structure in transgenic cultured tobacco BY2 cells
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The nucleus is an extremely important cellular organelle. Recent discoveries in sub nuclear organization and nuclear envelope architecture have reinforced the significance of the nucleus and provided additional insight ...
Suitability of Shape Memory Alloys for vibration isolation with application to launch vehicle payloads
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This work details an investigation into the suitability of Shape Memory Alloys for the task of vibration isolation based on the similarities between the Shape Memory Alloy pseudoelastic behavior and the softening response ...
What is the purpose of our national parks?
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A lively discussion ensues today over the ''mandate'' of America's national parks. Utilitarians say parks are for people-the forest always returns no matter what we do. Consevationists say, let's balance use between ...

Distributed algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
We first present two new leader election algorithms for mobile ad hoc networks. The algorithms ensure that eventually each connected component of the topology graph has exactly one leader. The algorithms are based on a ...
Geocasting in mobile ad hoc networks: a grid based approach to GeoTORA
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Geocasting can be employed as a mechanism to deliver messages to mobile nodes, which are present within a specified geographical area. As opposed to traditional multicast mechanisms where a node becomes a member by ...
