Chromidio: an interface for color tracking with key frames in Max and Nato
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A software interface named Chromidio is developed in this thesis that enables the user to easily extract numerical color and motion data from a prerecorded QuickTime movie on disk. Chromidio outputs this data in a format ...
Capriccio after Davison: translating two-dimensional still imagery into an artistic, dynamic three-dimensional space
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Two-dimensional fine art can serve as a source of inspiration for new works in the relatively young medium of three-dimensional computer animation. Artists are just beginning to discover the potential that digital technology ...
Saltcedar management strategies and effects on water quality and quantity of the Pecos River
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Aerial herbicide treatments initiated in August 1999 on the Pecos River near Orla, Texas, were evaluated for saltcedar density, vegetation cover and soil salinity pre-treatment and one and two years post-treatment. Saltcedar ...
Specific monoclonal antibodies against embryonic chicken adipose tissue cell membranes and their application against developing adipocytes
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Use of anti-adipocyte monoclonal antibodies (MAb) for reduction of fat mass in chickens was investigated in two experiments. Reduction of adipose tissue mass was obtained only in Experiment II. In Experiment I, 132 fertilized ...
Induction of chloride secretory currents across mouse ileal tissues by rotavirus enterotoxic peptide in different age mice
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
New technological advances in Ussing chamber design have resulted in the development of a micro-Ussing chamber that can hold tissues acquired by forceps biopsy. This new Ussing chamber system, that can hold such small ...
Design and development of an ultrafine particle reflection-time-of-flight mass spectrometer
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The primary motivation for the research is to study the effect of small particles on global climate. The study can also help to understand the dynamics involved with gas to particle conversion, which is being debated to ...
The use of polarized light for skin cancer detecton
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Over 50,000 people per year will be diagnosed with skin cancer in one of its various forms, making it the seventh most common form of cancer in the United States. Currently the only method to diagnose suspicious lesions ...
The effect of food restriction and simulated microgravity on the rat skeleton
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Bone loss commonly occurs during space flight, creating an increased risk for fractures. It is also known that undereating commonly occurs on space flight missions, and ingesting insufficient calories has been shown to ...
Experimental study of fracture development in multilayers of contrasting strength and ductility
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The effect of mean ductility, interlayer thickness, and magnitude of shortening on fracture development in bedded rock was investigated by shortening multilayer cylinders (5 cm dia.) 4 to 14% normal to layering in a triaxial ...
Classification of skin abnormalties using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes a study for the classification of skin abnormalities using oblique incident diffuse reflectance spectroscopy as part of the goal to provide a computer-assisted tool to dermatologists for lowering the ...
