Rock climbing sub-worlds: a segmentation study
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Rock climbing participation is growing throughout the United States. Information on the participation patterns and preferences of groups of climbers can be used to help mangers make better informed decisions, allowing them ...
Validation of computer-generated results with experimental data obtained for torsional vibration of synchronous motor-driven turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Torsional vibration is an oscillatory angular twisting motion in the rotating members of a system. It can be deemed quite dangerous in that it cannot be detected as easily as other forms of vibration, and hence, subsequent ...
Video dithering
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In this work, we present mathematical and artistic techniques for the easy creation of artistic screening animations in video resolution by extending the artistic screening technique of adapting various patterns as screen ...
Role of leptin in regulating the bovine hypothalamic-gonadotropic axis
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The physiological mechanisms through which nutrition mediates its effects in controlling reproduction are not well characterized. Both neural and endocrine components have been implicated in the communication of nutritional ...
The role of grain sorghum in conservation of predatory arthropods of Texas cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Four separate but complimentary studies investigated the role of grain sorghum as a predator source for Southern Rolling Plains cotton in 2001 and 2002. Objectives were to: (1) determine the timing and magnitude of predator ...
An evaluation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test at a .08 blood alcohol concentration for the State of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study investigated the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) predictions of above or
below the .08 per se level by Texas peace officers in the field based on the scoring of the National Highway Traffic Safety ...
Short time scale thermal mechanical shock wave propagation in high performance microelectronic packaging configuration
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The generalized theory of thermoelasticity was employed to characterize the coupled thermal and mechanical wave propagation in high performance microelectronic packages. Application of a Gaussian heat source of spectral ...
Trade, piracy, and naval warfare in the central Mediterranean: the maritime history and archaeology of Malta
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Located approximately in the middle of the central Mediterranean channel, the Maltese Archipelago was touched by the historical events that effected the political, economic and cultural environment of Europe, North Africa, ...
Safety assured financial evaluation of maintenance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Management decisions in complex industrial facilities usually consider both the economic and environmental aspects of the plant's performance. For nuclear power plants (NPPs), safety is also a very substantial issue. The ...
Experimental investigation of a stratified buoyant wake
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
An existing water channel facility at Texas A&M University is used to experimentally study a stratified, buoyant wake. A cylindrical obstruction placed at the centerline of a developing Rayleigh-Taylor mixing layer serves ...
