THE RELATIONSHIP OF FEED EFFICIENCY WITH PERFORMANCE, ULTRASOUND, CARCASS AND NON-CARCASS TRAITS IN BEEF CATTLE
(2010-07-14)
The first objective was to estimate total internal fat in beef cattle based on a technique that measures kidney fat (uKFd) using real-time ultrasound (RTU). Data were obtained from 109 cattle from four studies, and animals ...
TORQUE AND DRAG CALCULATIONS IN THREE-DIMENSIONAL WELLBORES
(2010-07-14)
Torque and drag (T&D) modeling is regarded as extremely helpful in well planning because it helps to predict and prevent drilling problems that might occur during the drilling process. Although T&D software has existed ...
Comparing Methods for Measuring the Volume of Sand Excaveted by a Laboratory Cutter Suction Dredge Using an Instrumented Hopper Barge and a Laser Profiler
(2010-07-14)
The research focuses on the various methods that could be used in the laboratory
to determine the values of production from a model cutter suction dredge. The values of
production obtained from different methods are compared ...
Lithic Analysis at a Late Prehistoric Coastal Site in the Samoan Archipelago
(2010-07-14)
This thesis presents a lithic attribute and geochemical analysis of the lithic material
recovered from coastal site of Fatumafuti, on Tutuila Island, in the Samoan archipelago
during 1050-520 BP. The goal of this thesis ...
Aquifer Management for CO2 Sequestration
(2010-07-14)
Storage of carbon dioxide is being actively considered for the reduction of green
house gases. To make an impact on the environment CO2 should be put away on the
scale of gigatonnes per annum. The storage capacity of deep ...
Assessment of Cerebellar and Hippocampal Morphology and Biochemical Parameters in the Compound Heterozygous, Tottering/leaner Mouse
(2010-07-14)
Due to two different mutations in the gene that encodes the a1A subunit of
voltage-activated CaV 2.1 calcium ion channels, the compound heterozygous
tottering/leaner (tg/tgla) mouse exhibits numerous neurological deficits. ...
Factors Affecting Carbohydrate Production and Loss in Salt Marsh Sediments of Galveston Bay
(2010-10-12)
Benthic microalgae (BMA) living within the surface sediment of salt marshes are
highly productive organisms that provide a significant proportion of organic carbon
inputs into estuarine systems. BMA secrete extracellular ...
Control of a 3DOF Birotor Helicopter Using Robust Control Methods
(2010-07-14)
The main topic of this thesis is to exhibit how robust control techniques can be
applied to real time systems. Presently, the control techniques used in the industry are
very simple even when applied to complex systems; ...
Extreme Hurricane Surge Estimation for Texas Coastal Bridges Using Dimensionless Surge Response Functions
(2010-10-12)
Since the devastating hurricane seasons of 2004, 2005, and 2008, the stability
and serviceability of coastal bridges during and following hurricane events have become
a main public concern. Twenty coastal bridges, critical ...
Real-Time Networked Control with Multiple Clients
(2010-01-14)
In this thesis closed-loop control strategies over a communication network with multiple clients are developed. To accomplish this objective, a steel-ball magnetic-levitation system, a DC motor speed-control system, and ...
