Human skeletal remains of the ancient Maya in the caves of Dos Pilas, Guatemala
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study focuses on the assessment of the depositional activity that occurred in six caves of the Petexbatun region of the Peten, Guatemala through a quantitative analysis of the human skeletal material recovered from ...
Analysis of site structure and post-depositional disturbance at two Early Holocene components, Richard Beene site (41BX831), Bexar County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Two deeply buried, well-stratified, and well-dated components dating to the Early Holocene period were excavated at the Richard Beene site (41BX831) in Bexar County, Texas. This thesis utilizes both qualitative (interpretation ...
The impact of an environmental education program on third graders' knowledge, attitudes and behavioral intentions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to measure whether an after-school environmental education program based on modified Project Wild materials, positively impacted third graders environmental knowledge, attitudes and behavioral ...
The impact of social stress on acute Theiler's murine encephalitis virus infection.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Stress is known to alter immune function, both in positive and negative ways. The disparate effects of stress on immune function remains an active area of investigation. This thesis investigates how the application of ...
Identification of pore type and origin in a Lower Cretaceous carbonate reservoir using NMR T2 relaxation times
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Determining the distribution of porosity and permeability is one of the main challenges in carbonate petroleum reservoir characterization and requires a thorough understanding of pore type and origin, as well as their ...
Simulation of naturally fractured reservoirs using empirical transfer function
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research utilizes the imbibition experiments and X-ray tomography results for modeling fluid flow in naturally fractured reservoirs. Conventional dual porosity simulation requires large number of runs to quantify ...
Analysis of the Pass Cavallo shipwreck assemblage, Matagorda Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A survey conducted in February of 1998 located an anomaly originally believed to be the remains of L'Aimable. L'Aimable was one of four ships utilized by Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, for his voyage to colonize ...
Histological, physical, and chemical factors of various lamb muscles
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Muscles (n = 18) were dissected from each side of twenty lamb carcasses. Muscles from the right sides of the carcasses were used to determine weight, length, width, minimum and maximum thickness, objective color measurements, ...
Design and construction of a precision tubular linear motor and controller
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A design for a novel tubular high-precision direct-drive brushless linear motor has been developed. The novelty of the design lies in the orientation of the magnets in the mover. In conventional linear motors the magnets ...
Beamfilling correction study for retrieval of oceanic rain from passive microwave observations
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Beamfilling error is one of the main error sources for microwave oceanic rainfall retrieval. An accurate beamfilling correction can improve the rainfall retrieval accuracy significantly. Quantitative understanding of the ...
