Effects of pre-feedlot growth rate on carcass composition and meat tenderness
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The effects of pasture growth rate and breed and sex treatments (F₁ Angus x Brahman steers; Simmental-sired calves from F₁ Angus x Brahman or Hereford x Brahman dams) were examined on carcass composition and tenderness. ...
NO[x] production by lightning in the continental U.S. and its impacts on tropospheric chemistry
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) play an important role in atmospheric chemistry. High tropospheric NOx concentrations increase ozone (O₃) levels via photochemical cycling of NO to NO₂, whereas low NOx concentrations result in the ...
Bose-Einstein condensation of a system of two-level atoms in resonant interaction with a single-running-wave-mode laser field
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this thesis, we study the influence of a single-running-wave-mode laser field to the critical temperature T[] of Bose-Einstein condensation(BEC) of a system of two-level bosonic atoms. Using a simple model, we obtain ...
A Bragg grating on LiNbO₃ waveguide for velocity-matching of electrooptic modulators
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An experimental study of the fabrication of a surface grating in a TiO₂ film on a LiNbO₃ substrate is described. Such a grating can be used to achieve velocity-matching between an optical wave and a RF signal in a slow-wave ...
Bioactive and functional properties of phenolic compounds from new sources of edible plant tissues
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
New sources of crops high in phenolic compounds were analyzed for their antioxidant activity, antimicrobial capacity, and color potential. These crops were native Andean red sweetpotato and purple corn, and new peach, ...
The effects of moisture and particle size of feedlot biomass on co-firing burner performance
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Biomass (conventional and non-conventional) fuels co-fired with coal for power and steam generation are being tested and evaluated at several generation stations in the United States. The co-firing technology is expected ...
Accessibility analysis for telecommuting: a GIS-based approach
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Most American metropolitan areas are suffering highway congestion and delays. To improve the situation, alternatives other than increasing the supply part of transportation systems, such as telecommuting, have stimulated ...
Effects of amylose and amylopectin on quality of rice noodles
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Effects of amylose content, amylose solubility, and amylopectin structure of rice flour on quality of rice noodles were determined. Milled rice was ground into flour. Noodles were prepared by mixing 100 g flour, 80 g water ...
Nonlinear adaptive internal model control using neural networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The IMC structure, where the controller implementation includes an explicit model of the plant, has been shown to be very effective for the control of the stable plants typically encountered in process control. A nonlinear ...
Effects of prenatal shearing of ewes and calf genotype on cold tolerance of newborn ruminants
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Weather-related losses are the second leading cause of death for both calves and lambs. One management practice used to reduce lamb losses due to cold exposure is shearing pregnant ewes. Research has shown that lambs ...
