Automatic history matching in Bayesian framework for field-scale applications
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Conditioning geologic models to production data and assessment of uncertainty is generally done in a Bayesian framework. The current Bayesian approach suffers from three major limitations that make it impractical for ...
Investigation of an unusual metal-RNA cluster in the P5abc subdomain of the group I intron
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation focuses on the spectroscopic and thermodynamic characterization of the unusual metal-RNA cluster found in the P5abc subdomain of the Tetrahymena group I intron. The P5abc subdomain is a part of the P4-P6 ...
Analog-to-digital interface design in wireless receivers
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
As one of the major building blocks in a wireless receiver, the Analog-to-Digital Interface (ADI) provides link and transition between the analog Radio Frequency (RF) frontend and the baseband Digital Signal Processing ...
Community assembly of xeric-adapted anurans at multiple spatial scales
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The distribution and abundance of organisms is influenced by historical, abiotic,
and biotic factors. The goal of my dissertation was to determine the distribution of
anurans in the Big Bend region of the Chihuahuan Desert ...
Segmentation, registration,and selective watermarking of retinal images
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In this dissertation, I investigated some fundamental issues related to medical image
segmentation, registration, and watermarking. I used color retinal fundus images to
perform my study because of the rich representation ...
Measurement of the Michel parameter rho in muon decay
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The TWIST Collaboration has measured the Michel parameter rho in normal muon
decay,u+ -> e+VeVu. In the standard model of particle physics,rho = 3/4. Deviations
from this value require mixing of left- and right-handed muon ...
Feedback control of flow separation using synthetic jets
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The primary goal of this research is to assess the effect of synthetic jets on flow separation
and provide a feedback control strategy for flow separation using synthetic jets.
The feedback control synthesis is conducted ...
Docosahexaenoic acid differentially modulates plasma membrane targeting and subcellular localization of lipidated proteins in colonocytes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Correct localization of lipidated cytosolic proteins to the plasma membrane (PM) is mediated by interactions between lipid anchors of proteins and cell membranes. Previously, dietary fish oil and its major n-3 polyunsaturated ...
Telomerase activator1: a zinc-finger protein that acts synergistically with auxin to control telomerase expression in Arabidopsis thaliana
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Telomerase is the key enzyme synthesizing telomeric DNA in most eukaryotic organisms. In mammals, telomerase expression is abundant in the germline cells but is undetectable in most other differentiated organs. Intensive ...
Evaluation of various dietary supplements and strategies to enhance growth and disease management of hybrid striped bass Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The US hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis) industry has been
negatively impacted by infectious diseases because there are very few approved drugs
and vaccines. Therefore, a series of experiments was conducted ...
