Hardware Acceleration of Electronic Design Automation Algorithms
(2010-07-14)
With the advances in very large scale integration (VLSI) technology, hardware is going
parallel. Software, which was traditionally designed to execute on single core microprocessors,
now faces the tough challenge of taking ...
Systematic Approach for Chemical Reactivity Evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Under certain conditions, reactive chemicals may proceed into uncontrolled chemical reaction pathways with rapid and significant increases in temperature, pressure, and/or gas evolution. Reactive chemicals have been ...
A prediction of meander migration based on large-scale flume tests in clay
(2009-05-15)
Meander migration is a complex and dynamic process of the lateral movement of
a river due to erosion on one bank and deposition on the opposite bank. As a result, the
channel migrates in a lateral direction, which might ...
The Effect of Ethical Signals on Recruitment Outcomes: Two Studies with Convergent Results
(2010-10-12)
The applicant decision making process is a complex one. During the recruitment
process, signals from the organization provide information to the candidates and affect
important recruitment outcomes. Ethics is one area the ...
Energy efficiency in wireless networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Energy is a critical resource in the design of wireless networks since wireless devices are
usually powered by batteries. Battery capacity is finite and the progress of battery technology
is very slow, with capacity expected ...
Multi-resolution methods for high fidelity modeling and control allocation in large-scale dynamical systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation introduces novel methods for solving highly challenging model-
ing and control problems, motivated by advanced aerospace systems. Adaptable, ro-
bust and computationally effcient, multi-resolution ...
The experiences of select university presidential partners with traditional role expectations
(2009-05-15)
This study focused on 24 female and male respondents. The literature on presidential partners was lacking. The literature available was over 20 years out of date, had been conducted by university presidential partners on ...
Biomechanics of the Lens Capsule from Native to After Cataract Surgery
(2010-01-16)
The primary function of the lens capsule of the eye unfolds during the process of
accommodation; wherein, tension imposed onto its equator is released, allowing the
elastic capsule to mold the underlying lens nucleus and ...
Enhancement of a fluorescent sensor for monitoring glucose concentration in diabetic patients
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The need for overnight and continuous monitoring of glucose levels in diabetic
patients is profound, especially among juveniles. Implantation of a chemical assay
which responds optically to changes in glucose concentration ...
Remote sensing studies and morphotectonic investigations in an arid rift setting, Baja California, Mexico
(2009-05-15)
The Gulf of California and its surrounding land areas provide a classic example
of recently rifted continental lithosphere. The recent tectonic history of eastern Baja
California has been dominated by oblique rifting that ...
