Analyzing video compression for transporting over wireless fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Wireless video communication is becoming increasingly popular these days with new
applications such as TV on mobile and video phones. Commercial success of these
applications requires superior video quality at the receiver. ...
Managed pressure drilling techniques and tools
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The economics of drilling offshore wells is important as we drill more wells
in deeper water. Drilling-related problems, including stuck pipe, lost circulation,
and excessive mud cost, show the need for better drilling ...
Distinguishing carbonate reservoir pore facies with nuclear magnetic resonance as an aid to identify candidates for acid stimulation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The determination of reservoir quality and its spatial distribution is a key objective in
reservoir characterization. This is especially challenging for carbonates because, due to
the effects of diagenesis, quality rarely ...
The rotavirus nonstructural protein 4 (NSP4) interacts with both the N- and C- termini of caveolin-1
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Rotavirus (RV) is an etiologic agent of viral gastroenteritis in children and infants
worldwide, accounting for an estimated 500,000 deaths annually. NSP4, the first
described viral enterotoxin, contributes to RV pathogenesis ...
Optimizing the efficiency of cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators for field applications
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Problems associated with the use of compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid (CCGL)
separators can be attributed to two physical phenomena: gas carry-under and liquid carryover
(LCO). Inadequate understanding of the complex ...
Incorporating salinity considerations in water availability modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research focused on expanding the capabilities of the Water Rights Analysis
Package (WRAP) for incorporating salinity considerations in assessments of water
availability. A simulation modeling approach was used to ...
An abstract expression of September 11, 2001
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Historical events captured in an abstract manner have the ability to produce a
profound effect on the emotions. The purpose of this research is to create a time-based
computer media work, using dialogue from playwright ...
Faculty perceptions about attributes and barriers impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs) at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, Legon
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The purpose of this study was to determine faculty perceptions about factors
impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs)
at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, ...
Design of high speed low voltage data converters for UWB communication systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
For A/D converters in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems, the flash
A/D type is commonly used because of its fast speed and simple architecture. However,
the number of comparators in a flash A/D converter exponentially ...
Formation evaluation using wavelet analysis on logs of the Chinji and Nagri Formations, northern Pakistan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The relatively new method of using wavelets in well log analysis is a powerful tool for
defining multiple superimposed scales of lithic trends and contacts. Interpreting
depositional processes associated with different ...
