Linear demultiple solution based on bottom-multiple generator (BMG) approximation: subsalt example
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Significant quantities of hydrocarbons are found in complex salt environments.
One of the modern challenges of exploration and production activities is to image below
salt. This challenge arises from the complexities of ...
Population genetic structure of Conophthorus ponderosae Hopkins (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) inferred from mitochondrial DNA haplotypes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Pine cone beetles (Conophthorus sp.) are serious pests of many forest ecosystems
since they burrow into pine cone tissues for egg deposition, causing the death of the
seeds. Management of these beetles in natural and ...
Effect of once-daily suckling and parity on follicular dynamics in postpartum Brahman cows
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Changes in follicular dynamics were monitored in forty-four Brahman multiparous (n=30) and primiparous (n=14) cows randomly assigned to control (n=22) and once-daily suckling (n=22) treatments. Daily transrectal ultrasonography ...
Evaluation of the Relationship Between Stress Response and the Fecal Shedding of Escherichia Coli O157:H7
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This study was conducted to determine if a relationship exists between
temperament, stress response, and the shedding of Escerhichia coli O157:H7. Cattle (n
= 150) were evaluated for disposition and stress response before ...
Multi-stage linear slot virtual impactor for concentration of bioaerosols
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Two linear slot virtual impactor arrangements were developed and investigated in this study. Both arrangements encompassed two-stage impaction for concentration of bioaerosols. The first arrangement consisted of eight ...
First Law Energy Balance as a Data Screening Tool
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This thesis defines the Energy Balance Load ( BL E ) as the difference between the
heating requirements plus the electric gains in the building and the cooling coil loads. It
then applies a first law energy balance in ...
An Analysis of Maximum Residential Energy-Efficiency in Hot and Humid Climates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Energy-efficient building design involves minimizing the energy use and optimizing the
performance of individual systems and components of the building. The benefits of energyefficient
design, in the residential sector, ...
Bioaccumulation of mercury in pelagic fishes in NW Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Total mercury (Hg) levels were determined in the tissues of ten taxa of pelagic
fishes, with a special emphasis on apex predators (large vertebrates). Highest Hg levels
were observed in blue marlin (Makaira nigricans), ...
A prototype of a new class of oversampling adc
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Analog-to-digital (A/D) and digital-to-analog (D/A) converters are important
blocks in signal processing system because they provide the link between the analog
world and digital systems. Compared with Nyquist-rate data ...
A physiological and morphological analysis of the effects of nitrogen supply on the relative growth rates of nine loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) clones
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The influence of nitrogen supply on relationships of relative growth rate (RGR) to leaf physiology, structural and non-structural carbon partitioning, and nitrogen- and water-use efficiencies were examined in loblolly pine ...
