Zirconium-doped tantalum oxide high-k gate dielectric films
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A new high-k dielectric material, i.e., zirconium-doped tantalum oxide (Zr-doped TaOx), in the form of a sputter-deposited thin film with a thickness range of 5-100 nm, has been studied. Important applications of this new ...
Examining solid waste management issues in the City of Bryan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Economic aspects of household recycling behavior and attitudes in City of Bryan are examined to improve solid waste management policies in the city. Using survey data collected by mail and personal interviews, residents ...
Fully nonlinear wave-body interactions by a 2D potential numerical wave tank
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A 2D fully nonlinear Numerical Wave Tank (NWT) is developed based on the potential theory, mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian (MEL) time marching scheme, and boundary element method (BEM). Nonlinear Wave deformation and wave forces ...
Visitor perceptions of alternative transportation systems and intelligent transportation systems in national parks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation examines the potential use of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and alternative transportation systems (ATS) in national parks. Visitors at two of the national park units in California, Golden ...
Fundamental study of evaporation model in micron pore
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
As the demand for high performance small electronic devices has increased, heat removal
from these devices for space use is approaching critical limits. A heat pipe is a promising
device to enhance the heat removal performance ...
Field scale history matching and assisted history matching using streamline simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In this study, we apply the streamline-based production data integration method to condition a multimillion cell geologic model to historical production response for a giant Saudi Arabian reservoir. The field has been under ...
Using manipulatives and visual cues with explicit vocabulary enhancement for mathematics instruction with grade three and four low achievers in bilingual classrooms
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A study was conducted to assess the effects of two instructional strategies: manipulative-based instruction and visual cues in mathematics (both enhanced by explicit vocabulary enrichment) in a small group setting with ...
Writing the life of the self: constructions of identity in autobiographical discourse by six eighteenth-century American Indians
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The invasion of the Western Hemisphere by empire-building Europeans brought European forms of rhetoric to the Americas. American Indians who were exposed to European-style education gradually adopted some of the cultural ...
The role of marital attributions in the relationship between life stressors and marital quality
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study examines the role that marital attributions may play in the relationship between the occurrence of stressful life events and marital quality. Specifically, it is suggested that within a crisis theory framework, ...
Vocal response times to acoustic stimuli in white whales and bottlenose dolphins
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Response times have been used to explore cognitive and perceptual processes since 1850 (Donders, 1868). The technique has primarily been applied to humans, birds, and terrestrial mammals. Results from two studies are ...
