Analysis of Advanced Actinide-Fueled Energy Systems for Deep Space Propulsion Applications
(2011-02-22)
The present study is focused on evaluating higher actinides beyond uranium that are capable of supporting power and propulsion requirements in robotic deep space and interstellar exploration. The central technology in this ...
Analyzing video compression for transporting over wireless fading channels
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Wireless video communication is becoming increasingly popular these days with new
applications such as TV on mobile and video phones. Commercial success of these
applications requires superior video quality at the receiver. ...
Potential impacts of vertical cable seismic: modeling, resolution and multiple attenuation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Vertical cable seismic methods are becoming more relevant as we require high quality and high resolution seismic data in both land and marine environments. Our goal in this thesis is to demonstrate the impacts of vertical ...
Retrofitting analysis of integrated bio-refineries
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A bio-refinery is a processing facility that produces liquid transportation fuels
and/or value-added chemicals and other products. Because of the dwindling resources
and escalating prices of fossil fuels, there are emerging ...
Losing Sight of Ourselves: Applying Durkheim. Giddens, Baudrillard and Vaknin to Reality Television
(2011-02-22)
An application of theory to various reality television shows in order to discuss the emergence and encouragement of the false self in our society is the focus of this work. Toddlers and Tiaras, Hoarders and Sister Wives ...
Ultracapacitor Boosted Fuel Cell Hybrid Vehicle
(2010-01-14)
With the escalating number of vehicles on the road, great concerns are drawn to
the large amount of fossil fuels they use and the detrimental environmental impacts from
their emissions. A lot of research and development ...
Discrete fracture modeling for fractured reservoirs using Voronoi grid blocks
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Fractured reservoirs are commonly simulated using the Dual Porosity model, but
for many major fields, the model does not match field results. For these cases, it is
necessary to perform a more complex simulation including ...
Upgrading and enhanced recovery of Jobo heavy oil using hydrogen donor under in-situ combustion
(2009-05-15)
In-situ upgrading of oil using hydrogen donors is a new process. In particular, very
little research has been conducted with respect to in-situ oil upgrading using hydrogen
donor under in-situ combustion. Several papers ...
Assessing the repeatability and validity of a questionnaire on pain and lameness in the canine
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The measurement of pain has had a growing importance in animals for both privately owned animals and those animals involved in clinical research. Lameness is considered to be 1 aspect of the pain experience. The ability ...
The effects of shinnery oak removal on lesser prairie chicken survival, movement, and reproduction
(2009-05-15)
The lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) has declined in
numbers since the late 1800s. Reasons for this decline have been attributed to habitat
degradation (decreased forb and grass cover and increased ...
