Experimental evaluation of wire mesh for design as a bearing damper
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Wire mesh vibration dampers have been the subject of some very encouraging experiments at the Texas A&M Turbomachinery laboratories for the past several years and have emerged as an excellent replacement for squeeze film ...
Using ordered partial decision diagrams for manufacture test generation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Because of limited tester time and memory, a primary goal of digital circuit manufacture test generation is to create compact test sets. Test generation programs that use Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams (OBDDs) as their ...
Evaluation of moisture damage within asphalt concrete mixes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Pavements are a major part of the infrastructure in the United States. Moisture damage of these pavements is a significant problem. To predict and prevent this kind of moisture damage a great deal of research has been ...
Robustness analysis of linear estimators
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Robustness of a system has been defined in various ways and a lot of work has
been done to model the system robustness , but quantifying or measuring robustness
has always been very difficult. In this research we consider ...
Experimental studies of oxygen isotope fractionation in the carbonic acid system at 15, 25, and 40 (degrees)C
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In light of recent studies that show oxygen isotope fractionation in carbonate minerals to be a function of HCO3 2-; and CO3 2- concentrations, the oxygen isotope fractionation and exchange between water and components ...
Evaluation of a statistical infill candidate selection technique
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Quantifying the drilling or recompletion potential in producing gas basins is often a challenging problem, because of large variability in rock quality, well spacing, and well completion practices, and the large number of ...
Two responses to a moment in the question of transcendence: a study of first boundaries in Plotinean and Kabbalistic cosmogonical metaphysics
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis contrasts the Plotinean attitude towards transcendence at the cosmological level with that of certain Kabbalistic authors of the 13th-17th century. Special emphasis is placed on the different approaches taken ...
Style and substance: Franklin D. Roosevelt and U.S.-French relations, 1938-1942
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Historians of American diplomatic history during the Roosevelt administration have long debated whether President Roosevelt tricked Americans into the Second World War. Historians have looked at the personalities of ...
Video looping of human cyclic motion
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In this thesis, a system called Video Looping is developed to analyze human cyclic motions. Video Looping allows users to extract human cyclic motion from a given video sequence. This system analyzes similarities from a ...
Cave and cliff swallows as indicators of exposure and effects of environmental contaminants on birds from the Rio Grande, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Cave (Petrochelidon fulva) and cliff swallows (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) were collected along the Rio Grande and evaluated as potential indicators of environmental contamination. The Rio Grande receives toxic substances ...
