Current characteristics of faculty development in public two-year colleges in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study measured the current characteristics of faculty development in public
two-year colleges in Texas. Current characteristics were determined by an electronic
questionnaire completed by the responding staff or faculty ...
Economic investigation of discount factors for agricultural greenhouse gas emission offsets
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This dissertation analyzes the basis for and magnitudes of discount factors based on the characteristics of greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) offsets that are applied to the GHGE reduction projects, concentrating on agricultural ...
Investigating cotranslational protein integration into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
During co-translational integration, the transmembrane (TM) sequence of a nascent membrane protein moves laterally into the ER lipid bilayer upon reaching the translocon. Our lab has previously shown that this movement ...
Developing Standards for Undergraduate University Construction Education Internship Programs
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Personally observed variability among construction education internship programs prompted this investigation. The schools of construction that form the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) encourage its members to ...
Heterosis and heterosis retention for reproductive and maternal traits in Brahman - British crossbred cows
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Reproductive, maternal, and weight traits were analyzed for Angus (A), Brahman
(B), and Hereford (H) straightbred cows; F1 and F2 BA and BH cows; and 3/8 B 5/8 A
first (Bn) and second (Bn2) generation cows in Central ...
Modification of turbulent structure in channel flows by microbubble injection close to the wall
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
An investigation of turbulent structure modification of a boundary layer for a fully developed channel flow by microbubble injection close to the upper wall was carried out using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). Two-dimensional ...
The modeling of arsenic removal from contaminated water using coagulation and sorption
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
To achieve predictive capability for complex environmental systems with coagulation and arsenic sorption, a unified improved coagulation model coupled with arsenic sorption was developed. A unified coagulation model coupled ...
Synthesis,structures and reactivities of bis(triarylmethylium) dications and related diboranes
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The primary goal of the research described in this thesis concern the synthesis,
characterization and study of 1,8-bis(diarylmethylium)naphthalenediyl dications. Such
dications have been prepared from the corresponding ...
Preconditioning for the mixed formulation of linear plane elasticity
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
In this dissertation, we study the mixed finite element method for the linear plane elasticity problem and iterative solvers for the resulting discrete system. We use the Arnold-Winther Element in the mixed finite ...
Nonlinear analysis of smart composite plate and shell structures
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Theoretical formulations, analytical solutions, and finite element solutions for laminated composite plate and shell structures with smart material laminae are presented in the study. A unified third-order shear deformation ...
