Analysis and optimization of VLSI Clock Distribution Networks for skew variability reduction
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
As VLSI technology moves into the Ultra-Deep Sub-Micron (UDSM) era, manufacturing variations, power supply noise and temperature variations greatly affect the performance and yield of VLSI circuits. Clock Distribution ...
Sequence stratigraphy of the late Pleistocene - Holocene deposits on the northwestern margin of the South Caspian Basin
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Interpretation of 900 km of a closely spaced grid of high-resolution seismic profiles over the northwestern margin of South Caspian Basin (SCB) allows recognition and study of six late Pleistocene - Holocene depositional ...
Thin layer chromatography - flame ionization detection analysis of in-situ petroleum biodegradation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This research was initiated after a 100-year flood caused an oil spill on the San Jacinto River (Houston, Texas) in October of 1994. After the floodwaters subsided the released petroleum floating on the water was deposited ...
Impact of the red imported fire ant upon cotton arthropods
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Inclusion/exclusion field experiments demonstrated that the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, did not affect the abundance of 49 groups of insects and spiders collected in pitfall traps. However, arthropod ...
Cooperative control of autonomous underwater vehicles.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The proposed project is the simulation of a system to search for air vehicles which
have splashed-down in the ocean. The system comprises a group of 10+ autonomous
underwater vehicles, which cooperate in order to locate ...
Identifying soils with potential of expanding sulfate mineral formation using electromagnetic induction
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Sulfate-bearing soils are a problem in highway construction as they combine with materials used for lime stabilization to form minerals, particularly ettringite, that expand and induce heave in the stabilized soil. This ...
The relationship between cheliped color and body size in female Callinectes sapidus and its role in reproductive behavior
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Many species use color during courtship displays, with the more colorful individuals often selected as potential mates. Female blue crabs, Callinectes sapidus, display prominent red markings on their chelipeds, which is ...
Towards practical implementation of computational solution of the Kinematic -wave Model for simulating traffic-flow scenarios
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The Kinematic-wave model is one of the models proposed to simulate vehicular traffic. It has not received widespread use because of poor understanding of associated interface conditions and early use of incorrect numerical ...
Synopsis of the morphology and taxonomy of Carex section Glaucescentes in North America
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Field studies were used to characterize habitat and evaluate morphological characters of Carex glaucescens, C. joorii and C. verrucosa. Morphometric analysis of herbarium specimens along with field studies, Environmental ...
Morphological investigation of AFR-PEPA-N imide oligomers and their cured polyimides and the remodification of AFR-PEPA-N to achieve liquid-crystalline behavior
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The morphological investigation of AFR-PEPA-N and the development of a new polyimide have been established herein. AFR-PEPA-N is an imide oligomer that was created out of the need to attain a high temperature polyimide ...
