Coastal Wave Generation and Wave Breaking over Terrain: Two Problems in Mesoscale Wave Dynamics
(2010-07-14)
Two problems in mesoscale wave dynamics are addressed: (i) wave-turbulence
interaction in a breaking mountain wave and (ii) gravity wave generation associated
with coastal heating gradients.
The mean and turbulent structures ...
Application of Advanced Laser and Optical Diagnostics Towards Non-Thermochemical Equilibrium Systems
(2010-07-14)
The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) research at Texas
A and M University is concerned with the experimental characterization of non-thermal and
non-chemical equilibrium systems in hypersonic (Mach ...
M-anomaly Analyses and its implications for the architecture of the upper oceanic crust
(2010-07-14)
My dissertation research consists of two themes: (a) the analysis of Middle
Jurassic - Early Cretaceous marine magnetic anomalies (M-anomalies) in order to
construct a comprehensive geomagnetic polarity timescale and (b) ...
DEVELOPMENT OF A COASTAL MARGIN OBSERVATION AND ASSESSMENT SYSTEM (CMOAS) TO CAPTURE THE EPISODIC EVENTS IN A SHALLOW BAY
(2010-07-14)
Corpus Christi Bay (TX, USA) is a shallow wind-driven bay which is designated
as a National Estuary due to its impact on the economy. But this bay experiences
periodic hypoxia (dissolved oxygen <2 mg/l) which threatens ...
The Safe Storage Study for Autocatalytic Reactive Chemicals
(2010-10-12)
In the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB) report,
Improving Reactive Hazard Management, there are 37 out of 167 accidents, which
occurred in a storage tank or a storage area. This fact demonstrates ...
Integration of Micro Patterning Techniques into Volatile Functional Materials and Advanced Devices
(2010-07-14)
Novel micro patterning techniques have been developed for the patterning of
volatile functional materials which cannot be conducted by conventional
photolithography. First, in order to create micro patterns of volatile ...
Search for Supersymmetry Using Diphoton Events in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at a Center of Mass Energy of 1.96 TeV
(2010-07-14)
This dissertation presents the results of a search for supersymmetry in protonantiproton
collisions with a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV studied with the Collider
Detector at Fermilab. Our strategy is to select collisions ...

Modeling of Shape Memory Alloys Considering Rate-independent and Rate-dependent Irrecoverable Strains
(2011-02-22)
This dissertation addresses new developments in the constitutive modeling and
structural analysis pertaining to rate-independent and rate-dependent irrecoverable
inelasticity in Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs). A new model for ...
A Comparative Analysis of the Perceptions of Special Education Teachers Regarding Educative Activities To Further Develop Teaching Skills
(2010-07-14)
A comparative analysis of the perceptions of special education teachers in the
San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) regarding the importance, comfort,
and frequency levels of educative activities to further ...
