The problems posed by gender essentialisms are important for both feminist theorists and environmental ethicists. Ecofeminist philosophers, as both feminist theorists and environmental ethicists, should therefore find ...
Leaching and standing water characteristics of bottom ash and composted manure blends
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Coal burning electrical generating facilities produce roughly 91 million metric tons of ash byproducts annually. Typically, this ash is retained at the power plant sites, adding to the cost of managing wastes at the plants. ...
Toolkit and drillstring valve for subsea mudlift drilling
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
With the depleting reservoirs on land and increasing demand for hydrocarbons, the exploration for reservoirs has been moving to deeper and deeper water. The current technology has reached its limit in water depth, and new ...
High-resolution side-scan sonar mapping of reef-like mounds and sediment texture variations on the Mississippi-Alabama outer continental shelf
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Numerous reef-like carbonate mounds are found along the outer continental shelf of Mississippi and Alabama. They are believed to be relict reefs which formed at a time of lower sea-level during the last ice age. In an ...
A numerical simulation of slantwise convection: its structure and evolution
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Weather forecasters have had difficulty forecasting mesoscale precipitation bands occurring in the regions of frontal zones. Within the last twenty years, slantwise convection (SC) through the release of conditional ...

An interactive deformation technique with triangles and distance functions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this thesis, a new interactive deformation technique is presented. In this technique, triangles are used as deformation primitives. User defined source and target triangles define local coordinates. These local coordinates ...
Climatological lightning characteristics of the Southern Rocky and Appalachian Mountain chains, a comparison of two distinct mountain effects
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study presents a high-resolution lightning climatology for southern portions of both the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachian Mountains. Data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) are analyzed to produce ...
Performance characteristics of PM₂₅̣ samplers in the presence of agricultural dusts
