Drilling optimization using drilling simulator software
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Drilling operations management will face hurdles to reduce costs and increase performance, and to do this with less experience and organizational drilling capacity. A technology called Drilling Simulators Software has shown ...
Community structure of deep-sea bivalve mollusks from the northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Density, species diversity, species richness, and evenness of bivalve mollusks were measured in the deep (0.2km to 3.7km) northern Gulf of Mexico to describe the community structure of benthic bivalve mollusks. Density ...
A divide-and-conquer method for 3D capacitance extraction
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis describes a divide-and-conquer algorithm to improve the 3D boundary element method (BEM) for capacitance extraction. We divide large interconnect structures into small sections, set new boundary conditions using ...
Does culture moderate the relationship between awareness and internalization of Western ideals and the development of body dissatisfaction in women?
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The sociocultural model of eating disorders suggests that awareness of a thin physical ideal directly affects internalization of that ideal, which in turn, directly affects body dissatisfaction. The current study evaluated ...
Grouping annotating and filtering history information in VKB
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
History mechanisms available in hypertext systems allow users access to past interactions with the system and help users incorporate those interactions into the current context. The history information can be useful to ...
Near real-time runoff estimation using spatially distributed radar rainfall data
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate variations of the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) curve number (CN) method for estimating near real-time runoff for naturalized flow, using high resolution radar ...
Consumer approval of genetic modification of food products: a comparison of United States and South Korean perspectives
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Genetic modification presents the potential to advance not only agricultural production but to increase quality of life as well. The potential this innovation presents will be irrelevant if the public is unwilling to ...
The coordination dynamics of bimanual circle drawing as a function of scaling movement amplitude
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of amplitude scaling on bimanual coordination in a circle drawing task. Eleven right-handed subjects traced the perimeter of 5 circles measuring 3, 6, 9, 12, and ...
Correlating mechanical properties of cancellous bone in the rat with various density measures
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study focussed on the reduced platen compression (RPC) testing of the cancellous bone of the proximal tibia. The objective of this study was to improve the current testing methods with an emphasis on the location of ...
Design and construction of a left ventricular cardiovascular assist device
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a debilitating condition that afflicts 4.8 million Americans with an increasing incidence. Each year, there are an estimated 400,000 new cases. The incidence is on the rise as the age of ...
