Design and analysis of modern three-phase AC/AC power converters for AC drives and utility interface
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Significant advances in modern ac/ac power converter technologies and demands
of industries have reached beyond standard ac/ac power converters with voltage-source
inverters fed from diode rectifiers. Power electronics ...
Combative creativity: resistance to cognitive fixation effects in an idea generation task
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study investigated whether individuals identified as highly creative can resist a cognitive fixation tendency brought upon by the introduction of examples prior to an idea generation task. Ninety-eight subjects, ...
Atomic and nuclear interference phenomena and their applications
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
In this work, interference and coherence phenomena, appearing in atomic and
molecular ensembles interacting with coherent light sources, as electromagnetically
induced transparency (EIT), coherent population trapping (CPT), ...
Coefficient of intrinsic dependence: a new measure of association
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
To detect dependence among variables is an essential task in many scientific
investigations. In this study we propose a new measure of association, the coefficient
of intrinsic dependence (CID), which takes value in [0,1] ...
Physical mapping and characterization of the equine lymphocyte antigen (ELA) complex
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a genomic region comprised of a linked
cluster of genes and gene families that play an important role in both the adaptive and
innate immune responses. Genes within the MHC ...
Characterization of the plankton community in the lower Rincon Delta: Investigations regarding new approaches to management
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In light of increasing harmful algal blooms and the need to protect human health and aquatic resources, proactive management approaches merit further study. For this purpose I conducted field samplings to characterize ...
Mechanisms of transition-metal catalyzed additions to olefins
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Transition metal catalyzed reactions have an important place in synthetic chemistry, but the
mechanistic details for many of these reactions remain undetermined. Through a combination of
experimentally determined 13C kinetic ...
Achievement goals among high school students in physical education
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Achievement goal research in physical education (PE) settings relies heavily on the traditional dichotomous achievement goal framework. Few studies use the trichotomous or 2*2 achievement goal model to explore and examine ...
Wideband two-dimensional and multiple beam phased arrays and microwave applications using piezoelectric transducers
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Modern satellite, wireless communication, and radar systems often demand
wideband performance for multi-channel operation and the ability to steer multiple
beams for multiple moving targets. This dissertation covers a ...
Ecological significance of the genetic variation in Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.)Torr.
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The two most common varieties of the grass Bouteloua curtipendula (Michx.)Torr. in North America use different strategies of clonal growth and have contrasting continental distributions. Variety caespitosa (phalanx form) ...
