Vision based navigation system for autonomous proximity operations: an experimental and analytical study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This dissertation presents an experimental and analytical study of the Vision Based Navigation system (VisNav). VisNav is a novel intelligent optical sensor system invented by Texas A&M University recently for autonomous ...
Identifying nonlinear variaiton patterns in multivariate manufacturing processes
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This dissertation develops a set of nonlinear variation pattern identification methods that are intended to aid in diagnosing the root causes of product variability in complex manufacturing processes, in which large amounts ...
An experimental investigation of turbine blade heat transfer and turbine blade trailing edge cooling
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This experimental study contains two points; part1 turbine blade heat transfer
under low Reynolds number flow conditions, and part 2 trailing edge cooling and
heat transfer. The effect of unsteady wake and free stream ...
The long-term development of a watershed: spatial patterns, streamflow, and sustainability
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study examines the relationship between the developing landscape and the water flowing through it. The study area was an 86 sq. mi. watershed located in the coastal plains in Harris County, Texas. Daily streamflow ...
Control of rhythmic output from the circadian clock in Neurospora crassa
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Circadian rhythms are visible as daily oscillations in biochemical,
physiological, or behavioral processes. These rhythms are produced by an
endogenous clock that maintains synchrony with the external environment
through ...
Expression of the bovine DNA (cytosine 5) methyltransferase family during preimplantation development and aberrations induced by somatic cell nuclear transfer
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Bovine preimplantation embryos derived from nuclear transfer experiments exhibit a global state of genomic hypermethylation that likely account for the large number of developmental abnormalities observed to date. The ...
Attending to opportunity: an attention-based model of how boards of directors impact strategic entrepreneurship in established enterprise
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Using the attention-based view, this study is concerned with two levels of board of directors interaction relating to strategic entrepreneurship: (1) how individual board members may affect the attention of the entire ...
Development of dual phase magnesia-zirconia ceramics for light water reactor inert matrix fuel
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dual phase magnesia-zirconia ceramics were developed, characterized, and evaluated as a potential matrix material for use in light water reactor inert matrix fuel intended for the disposition of plutonium and minor actinides. ...
Design guidelines and evaluation of an ergonomic chair feature capable of providing support to forward-leaning postures
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This research investigated the need, design, and evaluation of a product capable of providing support to forward-leaning postures. Due to the high occurrence of low-back pain in industry potentially due to workers performing ...
In vitro assembly of an infectious cDNA clone of infectious bronchitis virus and its application as a gene transfer vector
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
An infectious cDNA clone of Vero cell adapted Beaudette strain of IBV was constructed using in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments. The entire genome of IBV was RT-PCR amplified into seven fragments, with each piece overlapping ...
