Optimal fault location
(2009-05-15)
Basic goal of power system is to continuously provide electrical energy to the users.
Like with any other system, failures in power system can occur. In those situations it is
critical that correct remedial actions are ...
Charecterization of inertial and pressure effects in homogeneous turbulence
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The objective of the thesis is to characterize the linear and nonlinear aspects of inertial
and pressure effects in turbulent flows. In the first part of the study, computations of
Navier-Stokes and 3D Burgers equations ...
Docosahexaenoic acid and butyrate synergistically modulate intracellular calcium compartmentalization to induce colonocyte apoptosis
(2009-05-15)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) from fish oil, and butyrate, a short-chain
fatty acid fiber-fermentation product, protect against colon tumorigenesis in part by
coordinately inducing apoptosis. We have demonstrated ...
Amorphous silicon thin film transistor as nonvolatile device.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
n-channel and p-channel amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs)
with copper electrodes prepared by a novel plasma etching process have been fabricated
and studied. Their characteristics are similar to those ...
The use of PCR-based methodologies to characterize salmonella serotypes of poultry origin
(2009-05-15)
Three studies were conducted to investigate the use of molecular techniques to
identify Salmonella serotypes in poultry. In the first experiment, two polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based techniques: denaturing gradient ...
Novel mechanisms for regulating polyphosphate metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
To ensure a continuous supply of phosphate, living organisms have devised complex mechanisms to regulate the uptake and subsequent utilization of this essential nutrient. An important aspect of phosphate metabolism is the ...
CMOS RF front-end design for terrestrial and mobile digital television systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
With the increasing demand for high quality TV service, digital television (DTV) is
replacing the conventional analog television. DTV tuner is one of the most critical blocks
of the DTV receiver system; it down-converts ...
Metal catalyzed copolymerization processes involving carbon oxides as substrates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Studies concerning two different copolymerization processes are detailed in this
dissertation: propylene oxide/CO2 coupling to afford poly(propylene carbonate) and Nbutylaziridine/
CO coupling to afford poly-??-butylalanoid. ...
An analysis of casual carpool passenger behavior in Houston, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
In the last thirty years, determined travelers have developed a new method of travel that
allows them to receive the benefits of traveling on the HOV lane without forming
traditional carpools. This new mode is known as ...
Exact polynomial system solving for robust geometric computation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
I describe an exact method for computing roots of a system of multivariate
polynomials with rational coefficients, called the rational univariate reduction. This
method enables performance of exact algebraic computation ...
