Fabrication of Niobium sheet for RF cavities
(2009-05-15)
This thesis investigated the microstructure and mechanical property of RRR( high
purity) and RG (low purity) niobium (Nb) sheet material. RRR Nb is used in the
fabrication RF cavities. Our method involves processing bulk ...
Effective fracture geometry obtained with large water sand ratio
(2009-05-15)
Shale gas formation exhibits some unusual reservoir characteristics: nano-darcy
matrix permeability, presence of natural fractures and gas storage on the matrix
surface that makes it unique in many ways. It’s difficult to ...
Modeling well performance in compartmentalized gas reservoirs
(2009-05-15)
Predicting the performance of wells in compartmentalized reservoirs can be quite
challenging to most conventional reservoir engineering tools. The purpose of this
research is to develop a Compartmentalized Gas Depletion ...
Describing the readiness for retention of students of color at state and land-grant colleges of agriculture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current demographics indicate that populations of color are on the rise across the United States. Although enrollments of students of color are increasing, first year retention rates are lower compared to their peers. ...
High resolution linkage and association study of quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
As a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite
markers are available, high resolution mapping employing multiple markers or
multiple allele markers is an important step to identify quantitative ...
Characterization of allantoinase from Eschericia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The purpose of this research was to characterize the Escherichia coli, E. coli,
allantoinase enzyme. Allantoinase catalyses the conversion allantoin to allantoate via
the hydrolysis of a cyclic amide bond and is coded for ...
Evaluation of a theoretical model of perceptual accuracy and self-management behavior in pediatric diabetes
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study evaluated a model of perceptual accuracy and self-management
behavior in pediatric diabetes. Participants were 169 children and adolescents (10-18
years) attending diabetes summer camps. Error grid analysis ...
Comparison of motor-based versus visual sensory representations in object recognition tasks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Various works have demonstrated the usage of action as a critical component in allowing
autonomous agents to learn about objects in the environment. The importance
of memory becomes evident when these agents try to learn ...
Leadership competencies and perceptions of students following a traditional or web-based graduate academic leadership course
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The intent of this study was to determine if leadership competency levels of the
students enrolled in a graduate level leadership course were different when taught in
Web-based versus traditional classroom settings. ...
Woodland development and soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics and storage in a subtropical savanna ecosystem
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Woody plant invasion of grasslands is prevalent worldwide, but the biogeochemical consequences of this vegetation shift remain largely unquantified. In the Rio Grande Plains, TX, grasslands and savannas dominated by C4 ...
