Laboratory-scale fracture conductivity created by acid etching
(2009-05-15)
Success of acid fracturing treatment depends greatly on the created conductivity
under closure stress. In order to have sufficient conductivity, the fracture face must be
non-uniformly etched while the fracture strength ...
Studies on the molecular epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis
(2009-05-15)
We investigated the molecular epidemiology, differential susceptibility to infection and
disease, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis in captive ringneck
doves (Streptopelia risoria) and in the ...
Speed estimation using single loop detector outputs
(2009-05-15)
Flow speed describes general traffic operation conditions on a segment of roadway. It is also used to diagnose special conditions such as congestion and incidents. Accurate speed estimation plays a critical role in traffic ...
Heat release effects on decaying homogeneous compressible turbulence
(2009-05-15)
High Mach-number compressible flows with heat release are inherently more
complicated than incompressible flows due to, among other reasons, the activation
of the thermal energy mode. Such flow fields can experience ...
Modeling, image processing and attitude estimation of high speed star sensors
(2009-05-15)
Attitude estimation and angular velocity estimation are the most critical components
of a spacecraft's guidance, navigation and control. Usually, an array of tightlycoupled
sensors (star trackers, gyroscopes, sun sensors, ...
The impact of school facilities on student achievement, attendance, behavior, completion rate and teacher turnover rate in selected Texas high schools
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to explore the possible relationship between school
facility conditions and school outcomes such as student academic achievement,
attendance, discipline, completion rate and teacher turnover ...
The role of transfer-appropriate processing in the effectiveness of decision-support graphics
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The current project is an examination of the effectiveness of decision-support graphics in a simulated real-world task, and of the role those graphics should play in training. It is also an attempt to apply a theoretical ...
The logic of regionalism: a comparative study of regionalism in Europe and Asia
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Why do some states develop deeper regionalism while others do not? Comparing European and Asian regionalism, this study provides an alternative explanation of different types of regionalism and the national variations in ...
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 ...
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. ...
