Nonlinear classification of Banach spaces
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
We study the geometric classification of Banach spaces via Lipschitz, uniformly continuous, and coarse mappings. We prove that a Banach space which is uniformly homeomorphic to a linear quotient of lp is itself a ...
A numerical study of heat and momentum transfer over a bank of flat tubes
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The present study considers steady laminar two-dimensional incompressible flow over both in-line and staggered flat tube bundles used in heat exchanger applications. The effects of various independent parameters, such as ...
Fluorescence enhanced optical tomography on breast phantoms with measurements using a gain modulated intensified CCD imaging system
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Fluorescence-enhanced optical imaging using near-infrared (NIR) light developed for in-vivo molecular targeting and reporting of cancer provides promising opportunities for diagnostic imaging. However, prior to the ...
Cyanide clusters of ReII with 3d metal ions and their magnetic properties: incorporating anisotropic ions into metal-cyanide clusters with high spin magnetic ground states
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Clusters of metal ions that possess large numbers of magnetically coupled unpaired electrons have attracted much interest in recent years due to their fascinating magnetic behavior. With an appreciable component of magnetic ...
Constitutive modelling of shape memory alloys and upscaling of deformable porous media
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) are metal alloys which are capable of changing
their crystallographic structure as a result of externally applied mechanical or thermal
loading. This work is a systematic effort to develop a ...
The relation between extracurricular activities with academic and social competencies in school age children: a meta-analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
There has been a growing discussion in the fields of education and psychology about the relationship between social skill proficiency and academic excellence. However, the presence of extracurricular involvement as promoting ...
Asymptotic expansions of the regular solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes equations and applications to the analysis of the helicity
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A new construction of regular solutions to the three dimensional Navier{Stokes equa-
tions is introduced and applied to the study of their asymptotic expansions. This
construction and other Phragmen-Linderl??of type ...
The cost of dying on Medicare: an analysis of expenditure data
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Roughly one third of Medicare expenditures are made on behalf of beneficiaries in
their terminal year, though only five percent of the Medicare-covered population dies
annually. Per-capita spending on decedents is as much ...
Characterization of dense suspensions using frequency domain photon migration
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Interparticle interactions determine the microstructure, stability, rheology, and optical properties of concentrated colloidal suspensions involved in paint, paper, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, etc. Frequency ...
Struggling to set the campaign agenda: candidates, the media, and interest groups in elections
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Democracy is best described as a struggle over competing ideals and values. One of the most important places where this struggle takes place is in the electoral arena. My dissertation examines the struggle between candidates ...
