Lift-off performance in flexure pivot pad and hybrid bearings
(2009-05-15)
Three flexure pivot pad bearings (FPBs) with different preloads are evaluated for
use in high performance applications by comparing them to a hybrid hydrostatic bearing
(HHB). One application of these bearings is in ...
Impact of CAD on the submittal process
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The efficiency and accuracy of design is critical for construction success. The realization of design is dependent on complete and coordinated design documents that are finalized through the submittal process. This process ...
Distinguishing carbonate reservoir pore facies with nuclear magnetic resonance as an aid to identify candidates for acid stimulation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The determination of reservoir quality and its spatial distribution is a key objective in
reservoir characterization. This is especially challenging for carbonates because, due to
the effects of diagenesis, quality rarely ...
Comparison of computation methods for CBM production performance
(2009-06-02)
Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs have become a very important natural resource around the world. Because of their complexity, calculating original gas in place and analyzing production performance require consideration of ...
Analysis of the principal's perceptions of the implementation and impact of the accelerated reader and other selected reading strategies used by Texas gold performance elementary schools
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Knowledge of the implementation practices of successful elementary schools will
be beneficial to other elementary principals who seek to improve student success in
reading. This study examined perceptions of principals ...
Investigation of surface inhomogeneity and estimation of the GOES skin temperature assimilation errors of the MM5 implied by the inhomogeneity over Houston metropolitan area
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study developed a parameterization method to investigate the impacts of inhomogeneous land surfaces on mesoscale model simulations using a high-resolution 1-d PBL model. Then, the 1-d PBL model was used to investigate ...
Analysis and computation of multiple unstable solutions to nonlinear elliptic systems
(2009-05-15)
We study computational theory and methods for finding multiple unstable solutions
(corresponding to saddle points) to three types of nonlinear variational elliptic
systems: cooperative, noncooperative, and Hamiltonian. We ...
Mood, food, traits, and restraint: an experimental investigation of negative affect, borderline personality, and disordered eating
(2009-05-15)
Eating disorders and borderline personality disorder involve several overlapping
features, such as impulsivity, negative affectivity, and dissociation. However, few
studies have specifically assessed how eating pathology ...
Essays on monetary policy and international trade
(2009-05-15)
The dissertation consists of three essays. Chapter II examines the asymmetric
effects of monetary policy on stock prices by using an unobserved components model
with Markov-switching. My results show that monetary policy ...
Reactivity of ethylene oxide in contact with contaminants
(2009-05-15)
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a very versatile compound with considerable energy in its ring
structure. Its reactions proceed mainly via ring opening and are highly exothermic.
Under some conditions, it is known to undergo a ...
