A numerical study of steady-state vortex configurations and vortex pinning in type-II superconductors
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In part I, a numerical study of the mixed states in a mesoscopic type-II superconducting
cylinder is described. Steady-state configurations and transient behavior of
the magnetic vortices for various values of the applied ...
Effects of federal risk management programs on investment, production, and contract design under uncertainty
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Agricultural producers face uncertain agricultural production and market
conditions. Much of the uncertainty faced by agricultural producers cannot be controlled
by the producer, but can be managed. Several risk management ...
Analysis of oil-pipeline distribution of multiple products subject to delivery time-windows
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation defines the operational problems of, and develops solution methodologies for, a distribution of multiple products into oil pipeline subject to delivery time-windows constraints. A multiple-product oil ...
Early pregnancy diagnosis and embryo/fetus mortality in cattle
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Pregnancy diagnosis by transrectal ultrasonography (using a 5 MHZ linear
probe) presented the maximum sensitivity and negative predictive values at day 26 and
day 29 after estrus in heifers and cows, respectively.
Palpation ...
Lattice Boltzmann equation simulations of turbulence, mixing, and combustion
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
We explore the capability of lattice Boltzmann equation (LBE) method for complex
fluid flows involving turbulence, mixing, and reaction.
In the first study, LBE schemes for binary scalar mixing and multi-component
reacting ...
The impacts of urbanization on endangered florida key deer
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Conservation of native wildlife is becoming increasingly difficult due to
continued human population growth and expansion. As the human population continues
to increase, so does the rate of consumption of our natural ...
Short-term and long-term reliability studies in the deregulated power systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The electric power industry is undergoing a restructuring process. The major goals
of the change of the industry structure are to motivate competition, reduce costs and
improve the service quality for consumers. In the ...
Analyses of power system vulnerability and total transfer capability
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Modern power systems are now stepping into the post-restructuring era, in which utility industries as well as ISOs (Independent System Operators) are involved. Attention needs to be paid to the reliability study of power ...
Design techniques for graph-based error-correcting codes and their applications
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In ShannonÂs seminal paper, ÂA Mathematical Theory of CommunicationÂ, he defined ÂChannel Capacity which predicted the ultimate performance that transmission systems can achieve and suggested that capacity is ...
Mitochondrial-DNA variation and the evolutionary affinities of the Peromyscus maniculatus complex from western North America
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Intraspecific phylogeography and the phylogenetic relationships of recently-diverged taxa are best assessed with the use of a genetic marker that coalesces rapidly and thus provides phylogenetically informative characters ...
