Evaluation of high strength concrete prestressed bridge girder design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research study focuses on evaluating the design of HSC prestressed bridge
girders. Specifically there were three major objectives. First, to determine the current state of practice for the design of HSC prestressed ...
Discovering relationships in genetic regulatory networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The development of cDNA microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expression status of thousands of genes. A natural use for this vast amount of information would be to try and figure ...
Gas condensate damage in hydraulically fractured wells
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This project is a research into the effect of gas condensate damage in hydraulically fractured wells. It is the result of a problem encountered in producing a low permeability formation from a well in South Texas owned by ...
Imbibition assisted oil recovery
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Imbibition describes the rate of mass transfer between the rock and the fractures. Therefore, understanding the imbibition process and the key parameters that control the imbibition process is crucial. Capillary imbibition ...
The significance of organic carbon and sediment surface area to the benthic biogeochemistry of the slope and deep water environments of the northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The bioavailability of metabolizable organic matter within marine sediments is one of the more important driving mechanisms controlling benthic pelagic communities. Interactions between organic material and mineral surfaces ...
A moment in the pragmatic political style: the rhetoric of Louis D. Brandeis
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This thesis examines the rhetoric of Louis D. Brandeis in light of pragmatism-specifically, the philosophical pragmatism of William James and John Dewey. While a number of scholars claim that pragmatism has nothing to offer ...
A shader based approach to painterly rendering
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a texture-based painterly shader that would render computer generated objects or scenes with strokes that are visually similar to paint media like watercolor, oil paint or dry media ...
Low voltage vertical recording preamplifier for hard disk drives
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Higher data rate hard disk drives(HDD) and improved read channel electronics are demanding preamplifier performance be extended well beyond 1 Gb/s. Historically, preamplifier power requirements were of low ...
Adaptive control of real-time media applications in best-effort networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Quality of Service (QoS) in real-time media applications can be defined as the
ability to guarantee the delivery of packets from source to destination over best-effort
networks within some constraints. These constraints ...
Two phase mixing comparison, oil contamination comparison and manufacturing accuracy effect on calibration of slotted orifice meters
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In previous studies the slotted orifice plate has demonstrated superior performance characteristics to those of the standard orifice plate. In this study, these comparisons are investigated further. The response characteristics ...
