Reservoir characterization of the upper Merecure and lower Oficina Formations sands in the Leona Este Field, Eastern Venezuela Basin
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The "S5", "T" and "U1" sands, traditionally described as part of the lower section of the "Oficina" Formation, and the "U2" sand, as part of the upper interval of the "Merecure" Formation, contain the largest oil remaining ...
Bottlenose dolphin responses to pingers
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
I observed bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) from a shore-based, rooftop theodolite station on the southeast side of Galveston Island to test their behavioral response to pingers. Pingers have been shown to alert ...
The Hawai'ian spinner dolphin, Stenella longirostris: effects of tourism
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Human activities and spinner dolphin behavior were observed in Kealake'kua Bay, Kona coast, Hawai'i, from 28 August, 1993 to 7 July, 1994. Data were collected from an observation site 55 m above mean low water on a steep ...
2-D discrete element modeling of unconsolidated sandstones
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this work unconsolidated sands saturated with heavy oil were modeled using a discrete element numerical model, (DEM). The DEM code was built in Mathematica ♭ programming language. The strain-stress behavior of biaxial ...
Morphology, physiology and environmental effects of triploid watermelon seed germination
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Triploid or seedless watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai), production and consumption has been increasing rapidly. In 1997 it was estimated that in the year 2000 more than half of the watermelon US ...
Sulfur geochemistry of thermogenic gas hydrate and associated sediment from the Texas-Louisiana continental slope
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Thermogenic gas hydrate and associated sediment were recovered from the northern Gulf of Mexico east of the Mississippi Canyon to investigate the interactions between gas hydrate and sedimentary sulfides. Sediment solid ...
Utilization of sorghum brans and barley flour in bread
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
White, brown, and black sorghum brans, wheat bran, and a waxy barley flour were each substituted for 0-30% of wheat flour in a bread formula. Each of the brans were then combined with the barley flour and substituted for ...
Adam Smith's rhetorical sympathy: a return of moral sentiments to public policy
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Since Adam Smith's highly successful Wealth of Nations, most scholarship built on his work has been economic in scope and has ignored the greater implications of his contribution to policy-making. This thesis examines the ...
The effects of shifting modality between study and test: a fuzzy-trace theory analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The present research was designed to test properties of the fuzzy-trace theory memory model. Fuzzy-trace theory is a global memory model that posits that multiple memory traces are formed for every experience. According ...
Analyzing the effects of alcohol on IGF-I in bone and plasma and on IGF-I mRNA in the liver and bone
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Alcohol consumption is occurring in the younger generation. It has been found that the sooner people started drinking the shorter they are. Alcohol has also been shown to reduce peak bone mass. Alcohol inhibits osteoblastic ...
