Low cost fault detection system for railcars and tracks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A "low cost fault detection system" that identifies wheel flats and defective tracks is explored here. This is achieved with the conjunction of sensors, microcontrollers and Radio Frequency (RF) transceivers.
The objective ...
New inflow performance relationships for gas condensate reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In this work we propose two new Vogel-type Inflow Performance Relations (or IPR) correlations for gas-condensate reservoir systems. One correlation predicts dry gas production the other predicts condensate (liquid) ...
A multi-dimensional scale for repositioning public park and recreation services
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The goal of this study was to develop an instrument to assist public park and recreation agencies in successfully repositioning their offerings in order to garner increased allocations of tax dollars. To achieve this, ...
Methods for reduced platen compression (RPC) test specimen cutting locations using micro-CT and planar radiographs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study looks at improving reduced platen compression (RPC) specimen preparation procedures by developing a better method for locating the ideal RPC specimen on each bone. These improvements are aimed at decreasing the ...
Seismic vulnerability of older reinforced concrete frame structures in Mid-America
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research quantifies the seismic vulnerability of older reinforced concrete frame structures located in Mid-America. After designing a representative three-story gravity load designed reinforced concrete frame structure, ...
The morphological development of a wood burl shader
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In the field of computer graphics, shaders provide an interface between lights and surfaces, giving the appearance of metal, plastic, wood, etc. As the field progresses, more and more shaders are required to simulate a ...
Mortuary practice in sociohistorical and archaeological contexts: Texas, 1821-1870
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Historical accounts of mortuary display during the 19th-century and evidence from archaeological investigations at historic cemeteries can contribute substantially to our understanding of related chronological and social-status ...
The Mica shipwreck: deepwater nautical archaeology in the Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to describe the investigation of the Mica shipwreck. The objectives of the investigation, as identified by nautical archaeologists from the United States Minerals Management Service and the ...
Optimization of composite tubes for a thermal optical lens housing design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis describes the manufacturing, structural analysis and testing of a composite cylinder for space application. This work includes the design and fabrication of a reusable multicomponent mandrel made of aluminum ...
Evaluation and heritability of ergot resistance derived from sorghum germplasm IS8525.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is fifth among the major cereal crops in the world in terms of production area and total production. Grain sorghum can be successfully produced in a wide range of environments, its ...
