Identification of powered parafoil-vehicle dynamics from modelling and flight test data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
During the final approach and landing phase of the X-38/Crew Return Vehicle, a
steerable parafoil is used to maneuver and land at a targeted ground base under
autonomous control. To simulate and verify performance of the ...
Entanglement generation and applications in quantum information
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation consists of three sections. In the first section, we discuss the generation
of arbitrary two-qubit entangled states and present three generation methods.
The first method is based on the interaction of ...
Methodology for designing the fuzzy resolver for a radial distribution system fault locator
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The Power System Automation Lab at Texas A&M University developed a fault location scheme that can be used for radial distribution systems. When a fault occurs, the scheme executes three stages. In the first stage, all ...
Studies of phase separable soluble polymers
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The technique of phase labeling has the ability to greatly enhance synthetic
protocol by simplifying purification and increasing efficiency. Traditional insoluble
supports offer efficient and simple recovery of the Âphase ...
Using cognitive measures to predict the achievement of students enrolled in an introductory course of geographic information systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The cognitive factors of spatial ability, human-computer interaction, problem
solving ability, and geographic attitude have been recognized as relevant to teaching and
learning GIS. The goal of this research was to examine ...
Enzyme catalyzed synthesis of structured phospholipids with conjugated linoleic acid and plant sterols
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Structured phospholipids with functional ingredients like conjugated linoleic acid
(CLA) and plant sterols to deliver their physiological effects in different food
formulations were synthesized. The lipase and phospholipase ...
Genetic evaluation of the ovine and bovine prion protein genes (PRNP)
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), or prion diseases, are a
group of inevitably fatal neurodegenerative diseases that occur in mammalian species.
Ovine susceptibility to scrapie, the prototypical TSE, is ...
Improvements in in vitro rearing methods of Toxoneuron nigriceps (viereck) (Hymenoptera:Braconidae), a larval endoparasitoid of Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This project focused on improving the in vitro rearing methods of Toxoneuron
nigriceps, an important biological control agent of Heliothis virescens, by supplementing
the rearing media with the host hemolymph. T. nigriceps ...
Rapid assessment of infill drilling potential using a simulation-based inversion approach
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
It is often difficult to quantify the drilling and recompletion potential in producing gas fields, due
to large variability in rock quality, well spacing, well completion practices, and the large number
of wells involved. ...
Effects of dietary fat and fiber on the oxidative status of the small intestine and colon of rats
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Colon cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the US, yet small intestine cancer is a rare event. While there are many similarities between these two tissues, inherent differences such as redox status, may ...
