Analysis of Brand Recognition Associated with the Texas SuperstarTM and Earth-KindTM Programs in Texas
(2010-10-12)
The environmental horticulture industry, also known as the “Green Industry”, is the second most important sector in the United States’ agricultural economy in terms of economic output and one of the fastest growing segments ...
Managed pressure drilling techniques and tools
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The economics of drilling offshore wells is important as we drill more wells
in deeper water. Drilling-related problems, including stuck pipe, lost circulation,
and excessive mud cost, show the need for better drilling ...
Real-time impluse-based rigid body simulation and rendering
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop and demonstrate a physically based rigid
body simulation with a focus on simplifications to achieve real-time performance.
This thesis aims to demonstrate that by improving the ...
Assessment of uranium-free nitride fuels for spent fuel transmutation in fast reactor systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this work is to investigate the implementation of nitride fuels containing little or no uranium in a fast-spectrum nuclear reactor to reduce the amount of plutonium and minor actinides in spent nuclear fuel ...
Lift-off performance in flexure pivot pad and hybrid bearings
(2009-05-15)
Three flexure pivot pad bearings (FPBs) with different preloads are evaluated for
use in high performance applications by comparing them to a hybrid hydrostatic bearing
(HHB). One application of these bearings is in ...
Impact of CAD on the submittal process
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The efficiency and accuracy of design is critical for construction success. The realization of design is dependent on complete and coordinated design documents that are finalized through the submittal process. This process ...
Distinguishing carbonate reservoir pore facies with nuclear magnetic resonance as an aid to identify candidates for acid stimulation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The determination of reservoir quality and its spatial distribution is a key objective in
reservoir characterization. This is especially challenging for carbonates because, due to
the effects of diagenesis, quality rarely ...
LIRIOMYZA LEAFMINERS, ASSOCITED PARASITOIDS AND INSECTICIDE EVALUATION IN SOUTH TEXAS
(2010-07-14)
In the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, dipterous leafminers cause damage to
pepper crop by destroying small plants (excessive mining), reduction of yield, and by
vectoring plant diseases. The objectives of the present ...
Comparison of computation methods for CBM production performance
(2009-06-02)
Coalbed methane (CBM) reservoirs have become a very important natural resource around the world. Because of their complexity, calculating original gas in place and analyzing production performance require consideration of ...
Reactivity of ethylene oxide in contact with contaminants
(2009-05-15)
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a very versatile compound with considerable energy in its ring
structure. Its reactions proceed mainly via ring opening and are highly exothermic.
Under some conditions, it is known to undergo a ...
