Robert Zapp, German Texan politician
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
By examining in a local context the life and work of a German Texan political leader, Robert Zapp, during the Civil War and Reconstruction period, this paper presents a picture of immigrant attitudes toward nativism, ...
Spark-plug-mounted fiber optic sensor for measuring in-cylinder pressure in engines
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A new design for an in-cylinder fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI) pressure sensor suitable for automotive engines has been investigated experimentally. The FFPI sensor consists of a single mode fiber containing two ...
Boll and fiber development in long staple upland cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Cotton is the leading agronomic crop in Texas and is important to the agricultural productivity and economic vitality of regions where it is grown. The production of high quality lint under dryland conditions is becoming ...
Development and implementation of algorithms used in ground and internet traffic monitoring
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Two different problems have been analyzed, one involving Traffic Management Centers (TMCs), while the other involves Internet traffic monitoring at a network router. TMCs detect traffic incidents and manage traffic using ...
Effects of non-Darcy flow on pressure buildup analysis of hydraulically fractured gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Conventional well-testing techniques are commonly used to evaluate pressure transient tests of hydraulically fractured wells to estimate values such as formation permeability, fracture length, and fracture conductivity. ...
Inversion of TEM sounding data using the steepest descent and the conjugate gradients methods
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In this study, the inversion of TEM sounding is investigated. I solved the over-determined and the under-determined inversion problems using the steepest descent and the conjugate gradients methods. The study depends on ...
Environmental conditions and responses of circus elephants transported by truck and railcar during relatively high and low temperatures
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
No published research exists regarding the transport of circus elephants despite evidence of stressful conditions in transported livestock. Shipments of elephants with participating circuses and private exhibitors were ...
Reservoir characterization using seismic attributes, well data, and artificial neural networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study reports an investigation of the potentialities of artificial neural networks in the field of reservoir characterization. A first step has been the review of theoretical principles involved in neural networks ...
Risk of Salmonella and Campylobacter contamination of cattle during transport to slaughter
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study evaluated the effect of typical production practices during transport of cattle on the resulting incidence of pathogenic bacteria in cattle and their resulting carcasses. Various factors, including type of ...
The harmful effects of late-onset alcohol consumption on cortical bone in aged rats
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study looked at the effects of late-onset alcohol consumption for 8 weeks on the aged rat model (15 months old). Thirty 15 month old female Fisher 344 rats were divided into three diet groups: Alcohol (n=9), pair-fed ...
