CMOS temperature sensor utilizing interface-trap charge pumping
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The objective of this thesis is to introduce an alternative temperature sensor
in CMOS technology with small area, low power consumption, and high resolution
that can be easily interfaced. A novel temperature sensor utilizing ...
Novel applications of data mining methodologies to incident databases
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Incident databases provide an excellent opportunity to study the repeated situations of incidents in the process industry. The databases give an insight into the situation which led to an incident, and if studied properly ...
Revisiting Copano Bay, Texas: an exceptional long-term record of ecological communities and their associated death assemblages
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Thanks to previous work conducted by Staff et al. (1986), Copano Bay on the
Texas coast presents an exceptional research area for studying 1) the effect of living
volatility on death assemblage diversity and composition ...
Invasive interactions of Monomorium minimum (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) infected with Thelohania solenopsae (Microsporida: Thelohaniidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Alan, and Hazard is an internal microsporidian
that parasitizes the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren. This experiment
studied the invasive interactions between the native United ...
Real-time metaphorical visualization of multi-dimensional environmental data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research explores the process of reformulating multiple data sets into metaphorical
representations. The representations must coherently intertwine into a multi-level
metaphor that constrains their forms. A working ...
Kinetics of acrylamide formation in potato chips
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Acrylamide is considered a carcinogen in animals and a possible carcinogen in
humans. It has been found in starch rich foods cooked at high temperatures. Vacuum
frying (10 Torr) was studied as a possible alternative to ...
Adequate description of heavy oil viscosities and a method to assess optimal steam cyclic periods for thermal reservoir simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A global steady increase of energy consumption coupled with the decline of conventional oil resources points to a more aggressive exploitation of heavy oil. Heavy oil is a major source of energy in this century with a ...
Prediction of gas-hydrate formation conditions in production and surface facilities
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Gas hydrates are a well-known problem in the oil and gas industry and cost millions of
dollars in production and transmission pipelines. To prevent this problem, it is important
to predict the temperature and pressure under ...
