Turbulent heat transfer in rotating rectangular cooling channels with angled ribs and dimples
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An investigation into determining the effect of rotation on heat transfer in smooth, rib-roughened, and dimpled rectangular channels with aspect ratio of 4:1 is detailed in this thesis. Internal cooling channels are ...
The construction and characterization of three genomic libraries of trichoderma virens strain Tv29-8
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Three genomic libraries (lambda, cosmid, and bacterial artificial chromosome) were constructed from Trichoderma virens strain Tv29-8. These libraries have been characterized and used to isolate a full-length copy of a ...
New beam splitter structure with relaxed constraints for electrooptic tunable filter
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Directional couplers with relaxed design requirements for applications in guided wave Electro-Optic Tunable Filters (EOTFs) have been proposed and fabricated in x-cut LiNbO₃ using the Ti-indiffusion technique. The fabricated ...
Buckling and vibration of orthotropic plates with an internal line hinge
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study presents analytical solutions for the buckling and vibration of uniaxially/biaxially loaded orthotropic thin and thick rectangular plates with an internal line hinge. The plate is taken to be flat, rectangular, ...
More than imagination needed : Asquith's government and the Dardanelles Campaign
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Dardanelles Campaign is generally viewed as a flawed operation that possessed some strategic value but could never actually succeed. Too many problems at home and in the campaign theatre doomed the expedition to ...
Routing in hybrid networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Hybrid networks are networks that have wired as well as wireless components. Several routing protocols exist for traditional wired networks and mobile ad-hoc networks. However, there are very few routing protocols designed ...
Genetic and biophysical characterization of GCN4 leucine zipper mutants and peptides
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The experiments presented in this thesis examined the oligomerization specificities of GCN4 mutants in vivo and association constants for formation of dimers in vitro. We have been examining the basis for oligomer choice ...
Reduction of turkey hatching egg shell contamination with ultraviolet irradiation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The effects of ultraviolet light (UV) at 254 nm on indigenous eggshell surface aerobic bacteria, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, gram positive bacteria as well as inoculated Salmonella typhimurium chicken and E. coli O157:H7 ...
The formulation and computer implementation of element-free Galerkin method for Euler-Bernoulli beam theory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Element-free Galerkin (EFG) method is used to solve second and fourth-order one-dimesional problems. Moving least square (MLS) approximation is used to generate shape functions for the EFG model. MLS method is discussed ...
Achieving progressive fine granularity scalable coding in H.26L
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Fine granularity scalable (FGS) coding and progressive fine granularity scalable (PFGS) coding are novel scalable video schemes which are ideally suited for streaming multimedia over networks with varying bandwidth, ...
