Delayed neutron measurements for Th-232, Np-237, Pu-239, Pu-241 and depleted uranium
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The neutron emission rates from five very pure actinide samples (Th-232, Np-237, Pu-239, Pu-241 and depleted uranium) were measured following equilibrium irradiation in fast and thermal neutron fluxes. The relative ...
Doing science: teachers' authentic experiences at the Lone Star Dinosaur Field Institute
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
During the summer of 2000, twenty teachers came from rural schools throughout Texas to take part in the Lone Star Dinosaur Field Institute. Hosted by the professional developers at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and ...
Timing analysis of digital circuits considering impact of capacitive crosstalk & process variation on path delays
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Competitive design of modern digital circuits requires high performance at reduced cost and time-to-market. Hence, accurate timing analysis is essential in the design and test of digital integrated circuits. With reduced ...
The overexpression of an endo-β-1,3-glucanase, engl1, in Trichoderma virens
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Many strains of Trichoderma spp. have been shown to be effective biocontrol agents against foliar and soilborne plant pathogens. The production and secretion of hydrolytic enzymes appear to play an important role in these ...
Digital Charrette: a web based tool to supplement the admissiion procedure to graduate architectural degree programs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The NAAB (National Architectural Accrediting Board), as an evaluator of architectural education in the United States, has established both graduate architectural curriculum criteria and student performance criteria expected ...
User level routing for mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Many routing protocols have been proposed for mobile ad hoc networks. Traditionally routing protocols have been implemented in the kernel of the operating system. The main reasons for this are performance and security. ...
Effect of rainfall variability on hydrologic simulation using WSR-88D (NEXRAD) data
(2001)
Rainfall, one of the most important hydrologic model inputs, varies spatially and temporally. Simulations using rainfall data with a reasonable representation of this variability can be expected to produce better results ...
Nutritional ecology of northern pintails wintering in the Laguna Madre of Texas
(2001)
Molt intensity, digestive tract morphology, diet, and carcass composition of northern pintails were investigated along the southern Texas Coast during winters of 1997-98 and 1998-99. Precipitation was 133% and 83% of the ...
Nova Virgem : the story of a nineteenth-century Brazilian slave smuggler
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
With the close of the legal transatlantic slave trade in 1807 agricultural markets of the New World were reluctant to relinquish their dependence on free labor from Africa. British insistence on the opposite eventually ...
The Athlit Ram: Classical and Hellenistic bronze casting technology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In 1980 a warship ram of bronze was discovered at Athlit Bay, south of Haifa, Israel. The subsequent study of the ram added significantly to the knowledge concerning Classical and Hellenistic large-scale bronzes. The ...
