The ultra-high lime with aluminum process for removing chloride from recirculating cooling water
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Chloride is a deleterious ionic species in cooling water systems because it is important in promoting corrosion. Chloride can be removed from cooling water by precipitation as calcium chloroaluminate using ultra-high lime ...
Transportation system modeling using the High Level Architecture
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation investigates the High Level Architecture (HLA) as a possible distributed simulation framework for transportation systems. The HLA is an object-oriented approach to distributed simulations developed by ...
Dynamics of multinational rivalry
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Drawing insights from strategic management and international business literature, the present study develops an integrated model to explain the competitive actions between multinational firms in a global context. Accordingly, ...
The development of a bovine interspecies model for the analysis of genomic imprinting in normal and nuclear transfer derived fetuses
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The advent of somatic cell nuclear transfer in cattle has provided the opportunity for researchers to generate genetically identical animals as well as animals that possess precise genetic modifications for agriculture and ...
Nonconforming formulations with spectral element methods
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A spectral element algorithm for solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes and heat transfer equations is developed, with an emphasis on extending the classical conforming Galerkin formulations to nonconforming spectral ...
Ro(g)-graded equivariant cohomology theory and sheaves
(2009-05-15)
If G is a nite group and if X is a G-space, then a Bredon RO(G)-graded equivariantcohomology theory is dened on X. Furthermore, if X is a G-manifold, thereexists a natural Čech hypercohomology theory on X. While Bredon ...
Analysis of linear elasticity and non-linearity due to plasticity and material damage in woven and biaxial braided composites
(2009-05-15)
Textile composites have a wide variety of applications in the aerospace, sports,
automobile, marine and medical industries. Due to the availability of a variety of textile
architectures and numerous parameters associated ...
Community, leadership, and mass-elite relations: an investigation into political leadership in the chinese villages in the reform era
(2009-05-15)
What is the role of political leadership in the mechanisms that bind general masses and political elites behind a certain policy program? And what factors account for the changes in political leadership? The mechanisms ...
Object-oriented software development effort prediction using design patterns from object interaction analysis
(2009-05-15)
Software project management is arguably the most important activity in modern
software development projects. In the absence of realistic and objective management, the
software development process cannot be managed in an ...
Cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate olfactory rhythms in drosophila melanogaster
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation is focused on how circadian control of olfactory responses are
regulated at the cellular and molecular level in Drosophila. Electrophysiological
approaches consisting of Electroantennogram (EAG), single ...
