Multiscalar line measurements in nonisobaric high-pressure underexpanded supersonic jets using rotational-vibrational raman spectroscopy
(2009-05-15)
This work describes the development of a Raman spectroscopy system for
measuring aerothermochemistry in high-speed jets and flames. A transmissive grating
spectrometer was newly developed for capturing pure rotational Raman ...
Male-female interaction among different geographic strains of the Gulf Coast tick Amblyomma maculatum Koch
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The overall goal of this research was to examine the interactions of adult
Amblyomma maculatum Koch, the Gulf Coast tick, with respect to their utilization of
hosts and to male-female cross strain interaction. Historical ...
The subunit exchange rate of the cyanobacterial circadian clock component kaic is independent of phosphorylation state
(2009-05-15)
The study of the in vitro circadian oscillator of the cyanobacterium
Synechococcus elongatus has uncovered a complex interplay of its three protein
components. Synchronization of the clock's central oscillatory component, ...
A comparison of a Klockenburg style split keyboard and a standard PC keyboard on typing speed and posture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The current study compares biomechanical and productivity outcomes
related to the use of a Klockenburg (split and angled) style keyboard as opposed
to the use of a standard PC 101 style keyboard among office workers. The ...
Examining the application of conway-maxwell-poisson models for analyzing traffic crash data
(2009-05-15)
Statistical models have been very popular for estimating the performance of highway
safety improvement programs which are intended to reduce motor vehicle crashes. The
traditional Poisson and Poisson-gamma (negative binomial) ...
Effects of prebiotics on growth performance, nutrient utilization and the gastrointestinal tract microbial community of hybrid striped bass (Morone chrysops x M. saxatilis) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus)
(2009-05-15)
A series of experiments examined the effects of four potential prebiotics--
GroBiotic®-A (a mixture of partially autolyzed brewers yeast, dairy components and
dried fermentation products), mannanoligosaccharide (MOS), ...
Electric field manipulation of polymer nanocomposites: processing and investigation of their physical characteristics
(2009-05-15)
Research in nanoparticle-reinforced composites is predicated by the promise for
exceptional properties. However, to date the performance of nanocomposites has not
reached its potential due to processing challenges such as ...
Developing a tight gas sand advisor for completion and stimulation in tight gas reservoirs worldwide
(2009-05-15)
As the demand for energy worldwide increases, the oil and gas industry will need to
increase recovery from unconventional gas reservoirs (UGR). UGRs include Tight Gas
Sand (TGS), coalbed methane and gas shales. To economically ...
Cement fatigue and HPHT well integrity with application to life of well prediction
(2009-05-15)
In order to keep up with the world’s energy demands, oil and gas producing companies have taken the initiative to explore offshore reserves or drill deeper into previously existing wells. The consequence of this, however, ...
Associations between hydrological connectivity and resource partitioning among sympatric gar species (Lepisosteidae) in a Texas river and associated oxbows
(2009-05-15)
The middle Brazos River, located in east central Texas, is a meandering lowland
river that contains many oxbow lakes on its floodplain. Flood dynamics of the Brazos
River are aseasonal, and faunal exchange during lateral ...
