Phase control in the synthesis of yttrium oxide nano and micro-particles by flame spray pyrolysis
(2009-05-15)
The project synthesizes phase pure Yttria particles using flame spray pyrolysis, and to experimentally determines the effect of various process parameters like residence time, adiabatic flame temperature and precursor ...
On improving performance and conserving power in cluster-based web servers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Efficiency and power conservation are critical issues in the design of cluster systems
because these two parameters have direct implications on the user experience and the
global need to conserve power. Widely adopted, ...
Turn-of-the-nut tightening of anchor bolts
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Double-nut anchor bolt systems are used in the erection of traffic signal poles, high-mast luminaries, and other highway appurtenances. An absence of a tightening standard for such systems decreases the confidence in their ...
Design and Implementation of High Performance Algorithms for the (n,k)-Universal Set Problem
(2010-01-14)
The k-path problem is to find a simple path of length k. This
problem is NP-complete and has applications in bioinformatics for
detecting signaling pathways in protein interaction networks and for biological subnetwork ...
Faculty perceptions about attributes and barriers impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs) at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, Legon
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The purpose of this study was to determine faculty perceptions about factors
impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs)
at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, ...
ASSOCIATION AMONG FLUID, GRAIN INTAKE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN HOLSTEIN BULL CALVES
(2010-07-14)
This study was conducted to determine water intake. Forty-four Holstein bull calves were evaluated to investigate the effects of starter intake, body weight, temperature and time to predict water intake. A model was developed ...
Analysis of Topological Chaos in Ghost Rod Mixing at Finite Reynolds Numbers Using Spectral Methods
(2011-02-22)
The effect of finite Reynolds numbers on chaotic advection is investigated for two
dimensional lid-driven cavity flows that exhibit topological chaos in the creeping flow
regime. The emphasis in this endeavor is to study ...
Reactor power history from fission product signatures
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this research was to identify fission product signatures that could be used to uniquely identify a specific spent fuel assembly in order to improve international safeguards. This capability would help prevent ...
Adaptive control for Mars atmospheric flight
(2009-05-15)
The new vision for space exploration will focus on sending humans to the moon and eventually to Mars. This endeavor presents new challenges that are critically different from the past experience with robotic missions to ...
Development of a Pre-Screening Methodology to Aid in Determining Potential Energy Savings in Commercial Building
(2009-05-15)
This thesis presents a methodology developed to aid in the determination of
potential sources and the potential scale of energy savings in commercial buildings. As
a pre-screening tool, the methodology is designed to ...
