A shader based approach to painterly rendering
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a texture-based painterly shader that would render computer generated objects or scenes with strokes that are visually similar to paint media like watercolor, oil paint or dry media ...
Error-in-variables for failure criteria applied to the near -wellbore region
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The development of a methodology to improve the parametric representation of the failure criteria used to characterize rock strength of a reservoir rock in the near-wellbore region is the focus of this study. We adopted a ...
Low voltage vertical recording preamplifier for hard disk drives
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Higher data rate hard disk drives(HDD) and improved read channel electronics are demanding preamplifier performance be extended well beyond 1 Gb/s. Historically, preamplifier power requirements were of low ...
Permeability characterization of shear zones in the Hickory sandstone member, Riley Formation, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Reservoir compartments, typical targets for new infill locations, are commonly created by faults that may reduce or enhanced permeabilities. Faults often contain narrow zones of intense shear comprised of geometrically ...
Adaptive control of real-time media applications in best-effort networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Quality of Service (QoS) in real-time media applications can be defined as the
ability to guarantee the delivery of packets from source to destination over best-effort
networks within some constraints. These constraints ...
Two phase mixing comparison, oil contamination comparison and manufacturing accuracy effect on calibration of slotted orifice meters
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In previous studies the slotted orifice plate has demonstrated superior performance characteristics to those of the standard orifice plate. In this study, these comparisons are investigated further. The response characteristics ...
Factors influencing Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) distribution in nearshore waters and implications for management
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Post-pelagic juvenile and subadult Kemp's ridley sea turtles (Lepidochelys kempii) (20-40 cm straight carapace length) utilize nearshore waters of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico as nursery or developmental feeding grounds. ...
Severe plastic deformation of difficult-to-work alloys
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The present work aims to reveal the microstructural evolution and post-processing mechanical behavior of difficult-to-work alloys upon severe plastic deformation. Severe plastic deformation is applied using equal channel ...
Applications of demand analysis for the dairy industry using household scanner data
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study illustrates the use of ACNielsen Homescan Panel (HSD) in three
separate demand analyses of dairy products: (1) the effect of using cross-sectional data
in a New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) study ...
Genomic organization of chromosomal centromeres in the cultivated rice, Oryza sativa L., and its wild progenitor, O. rufipogon Griff.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Centromeres are responsible for sister-chromatid cohesion, kinetochore formation, and
accurate transmission of chromosomes. Rice provides an excellent model for
organizational and functional studies of centromeres since ...
