Orbit design and estimation for surveillance missions using genetic algorithms
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The problem of observing a given set of Earth target sites within an assigned time
frame is examined. Attention is given mainly to visiting these sites as sub-satellite
nadir points. Solutions to this problem in the ...
Compactness of the dbar-Neumann problem and Stein neighborhood bases
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation consists of two parts. In the first part we show that for 1 k 1, a complex manifold M of dimension at least k in the boundary of a smooth
bounded pseudoconvex domain
in Cn is an obstruction to compactness ...
Millimeter-wave sensors
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
New millimeter wave interferometric, multifunctional sensors have been studied for
industrial sensing applications: displacement measurement, liquid-level gauging and
velocimetry. Two types of configuration were investigated ...
Analytical modeling of a fracture-injection/falloff sequence and the development of a refracture-candidate diagnostic test
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Fracture-injection/falloff sequences are routinely used as pre-frac well tests to estimate reservoir pressure
and transmissibility, but the current interpretation methods are limited to analyzing specific and very ...
Review of the genus popilius and preliminary phylogeny of Passalidae (Coleoptera)
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Preliminary phylogenetic analyses of Passalidae and the genus Popilius are presented
based on 207 characters for the family level part of this study and 232 characters for the generic
portion. The strict consensus and ...
Attributes influencing the adjustment of white faculty at selected historically black colleges and universities in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The purpose of this study was to examine the attributes that possibly influence the adjustment of white faculty at selected Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Texas. The results of this study may ...
Development of an interleukin 2 receptor targeted gene therapy vehicle
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The effectiveness of most chemotherapeutic regimens is limited by the toxicity of
the therapy to normal healthy cells. Therapies to selectively modulate abnormal T cells
bearing the interleukin 2 receptor (IL-2R) have been ...
An investigation of online environments supporting follow-up to professional development for Texas school librarians
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
At the beginning of the 2004-2005 school year, school librarians participated in
a face-to-face workshop during in-service training. The workshop dealt with the
process of creating a TAKS Support Plan, a plan for the library ...
Global oceanic rainfall estimation from AMSR-E data based on a radiative transfer model
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
An improved physically-based rainfall algorithm was developed using AMSR-E data based on a radiative transfer model. In addition, error models were designed and embedded in the algorithm to assess retrieval errors ...
Development of the School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The goal of this project was to develop a self-report inventory designed to assess
constructs associated with academic motivation and various learning strategies including
study strategies, time management, organizational ...
