Remote sensing of marine atmospheric parameters using the TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this research is to improve the retrieval algorithms for precipitable water (PW) and sea surface temperature (SST) for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Radiometer (AMSR) which is due to be launched in ...
Toward reflexivity: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and George Washington G'omez
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Since the publication of Huckleberry Finn in 1885, numerous highly esteemed authors and critics have reviewed the work. By examining the rhetorical situation of currents of praise and rejection in this scholarship, one ...
A study of human plasma lipid and lipoprotein responses to a diet high in oleic acid derived from pecans
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Pecans contain 68 gm fat per 100 gm with 66-70% as MUFA, primarily oleic acid. As a rich source of MUFA, pecans should represent a non-hyperlipidemic fat addition in isocaloric diets of equivalent SFA content. In this ...
Development of statistical wet weather model to evaluate frictional properties at the pavement-tire interface on hot mix asphalt concrete
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Skid resistance on wet pavements is influenced by friction at the tire-pavement interface as well as overall hot mix asphalt (HMA) performance. It is important to control aggregate, asphalt, and mix properties to achieve ...
Characterization of the dual start motif of a class II holin gene
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Holins are small membrane proteins, which, at a genetically programmed time in a bacteriophage infective cycle, allow bacteriolytic enzymes, or endolysins, to escape to the periplasm and attack the cell wall. Most holins ...
Performance improvement of Gas-Liquid Cylindrical Cyclone separator using different design for tangential inlet
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The concept of compact separation is attractive in a number of operating environments. These include offshore and arctic operations, where both space and weight are at a premium, and downhole processing where space is ...
Particulate dispersion apparatus for the validation of plume models
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this thesis is to document design, development, and fabrication of a transportable source of dry aerosol to improve testing and validation of atmospheric plume models. The proposed dispersion apparatus is ...
Computational analysis and the geometry of intracranial saccular aneurysms
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Intracranial saccular aneurysms present a very challenging problem both clinically and for the bioengineer. As long as a complete understanding of their material properties is unavailable, other ways to gain insight into ...
Design of a High Frequency Continuous-Time Filter and an Automatic Tuning Scheme.
(2001-12)
On-chip continuous time filters are essential for many applications. The transconductor- C filters with their programmability have become almost indispensable in applications like Hard Disk Read Channel. Larger bandwidth ...
No golden age of peace : a bioarchaeological investigation of interpersonal violence on the West Gulf Coastal Plain
(2001-12)
In this study, I evaluate two models explaining the origins and causes of interpersonal violence, using bioarchaeological data from burials derived from twenty-eight prehistoric and historic sites for two regions on the ...
