The cost of agriculturally based greenhouse gas offsets in the Texas High Plains
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The broad objective of this thesis involves investigation of the role agriculture might play in a society wide greenhouse gas emissions reduction effort. Specifically, the breakeven price for carbon emission offsets is ...
Crystallization and mutational studies of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase from moorella thermoacetica
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Carbon Monoxide Dehydrogenase (CODH), also known as Acetyl-CoA synthase (ACS), is one of seven known Ni containing enzymes. CODH/ACS is a bifunctional enzyme which oxidizes CO to CO2 reversibly and synthesizes acetyl-CoA. ...
Construction of a 1014.8nm fiber amplifier for quadrupling into the UV
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A fiber amplifier is constructed at 1014.8nm and then frequency doubled to produce 507.4nm. This could then be frequency doubled again to produce 253.7 radiation. The fiber amplifier consists of Ytterbium doped double-clad ...
Modeling of D/C motor driven synthetic jet acutators for flow separation control
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The objective of this research is to present a theoretical study of the compressibility effects on the performance of an electric D/C motor driven synthetic jet actuator for flow separation control. Hot wire anemometer ...
Increasing the CO tolerance of PEM fuel cells via current pulsing and self-oxidation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
An investigation was conducted to determine and compare the effect of cell current pulsing and "self-oxidation" in increasing the CO tolerance of a PEM fuel cell. The most effective pulsing parameter values were also ...
Data aggregation for capacity management
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis presents a methodology for data aggregation for capacity management. It is assumed that there are a very large number of products manufactured in a company and that every product is stored in the database with ...
Flight characteristics of pen-reared and wild prairie-chickens and an evaluation of a greenhouse to rear prairie-chickens
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The introduction of pen-reared Attwater's prairie-chickens (APC, Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) into the wild to supplement existing populations has met with marginal success. Flight characteristics, predator avoidance ...
Solving the broken link problem in Walden's Paths
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
With the extent of the web expanding at an increasing rate, the problems caused by broken links are reaching epidemic proportions. Studies have indicated that a substantial number of links on the Internet are broken. User ...
Characterization of the 3-D Properties of the Fine-Grained Turbidite 8 Sand Reservoir, Green Canyon 18, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Understanding the internal organization of the Lower Pleistocene 8 Sand reservoir in the Green Canyon 18 field, Gulf of Mexico, helps to increase knowledge of the geology and the petrophysical properties, and hence contribute ...
Distributed real-time control via the internet
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The objective of this research is to demonstrate experimentally the feasibility of using the Internet for a Distributed Control System (DCS). An algorithm has been designed and implemented to ensure stability of the system ...
