A Web-based Plant Tissue Culture Information System
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The World Wide Web recently emerged as a method for scientists to communicate with each other in a more rapid and in a less costly manner. The University of Minnesota hosts the PLANT-TC listserv as a service to the ...
Interactive visualization for geoscience education: Java-based instructional tools for introductory geology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Two web-based interactive visualization tools were developed to support problem-based learning in tertiary introductory geoscience classes. The presented tools were designed using the Java[TM] programming language, following ...
CostStudio: a web-based cost estimation tool for architectural design studios
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The advent of computers has had a tremendous impact on every field of study. Their phenomenal computing power and storage capabilities, along with the ability to "network" and share information, afford tremendous possibilities. ...
The effects of mixing energy on water column oil
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The rate at which an oil spill spreads will determine the extent of contamination and toxic effects that affect the environment. When spilled at sea, oil first forms a slick that is then broken into smaller oil droplets ...
Development of design criteria pertaining to signing, pavement markings, and geometric cross-section for improved two-lane section (Texas Super 2)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this research was to establish the optimum driver information strategy regarding Super 2 passing lane sections in Texas. A Driver Survey and a Before and After Study examining proposed skip stripe pavement ...
Fission neutron/gamma irradiation of Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria at the Texas A&M University Nuclear Science Center Reactor
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this research is to fully characterize the effectiveness of the Texas A&M University Nuclear Science Center Reactor (TAMU NSCR) neutrons for bacterial sterilization, and to assess the secondary gamma flux ...
Experimental evaluation of force coefficients of metal mesh hybrid pocket damper seal
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The topic of this thesis is metal mesh hybrid pocket damper seals (MHS). This seal design is a combination of the pocket damper seal and a metal mesh element. The metal mesh element not only reduces the leakage but it also ...
Simulation of gas flows through micro-constrictions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A series of numerical simulations based on a spectral element formulation of compressible Navier-Stokes equations are performed for gas flows through micro-constrictions, and the thermal/fluidic transport through these ...
Effects of the timing and amounts of leavening during processing of wheat flour tortillas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Changes in dwell time and pressure of the hot-press yielded tortillas with substantially different attributes. Thick tortillas were prepared using low pressure and long dwell time. Thin and larger diameter tortillas were ...
Quality inspection of small diameter polymeric medical tubing and attached wire stent using TAP-NDE and the Gabor Wavelet Transform
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A non-contact, laser-optic based technique referred to as the Thermo-Acousto-Photonic Nondestructive Evaluation (TAP-NDE) was utilized to investigate bond integrity and localized stiffening due to an attached wire stent ...
