An investigation into the use of biokinetic models when assessing intakes of plutonium
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The goal of internal dosimetry is to assess the dose to an individual from an intake of a radionuclide. This usually encompasses assessing the intake amount based on some form of bioassay measurement used with a biokinetic ...
A column based variance analysis approach to static reservoir model upgridding
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The development of coarsened reservoir simulation models from high resolution geologic models is a critical step in a simulation study. The optimal coarsening sequence becomes particularly challenging in a fluvial channel ...
How trehalose protects DNA in the dry state: a molecular dynamics simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted on a system consisting of a
decamer DNA solvated by trehalose and water (molecular ratio= 1:2), to mimic a
relatively dry state for the DNA molecule. Simulations were performed ...
Simulation study of areal sweep efficiency versus a function of mobility ratio and aspect ratio for staggered line-drive waterflood pattern
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Pattern geometry plays a major role in determining oil recovery during waterflooding
and enhanced oil recovery operations. Although simulation is an important tool for
design and evaluation, the first step often involves ...
Design techniques for high intermediate frequency bandpass (sigma/delta) modulator.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The focus of the present thesis is the circuit-level implementation of an excess
loop delay compensation scheme which optimizes excess loop delay in Analog-to-Digital Converter(ADC) by using a programmable delay block and ...
Toward an understanding of the possibility of a religious leap in Kierkegaard's a literary review
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In his work A Literary Review, Kierkegaard bemoans much about "the present age" and in the text he presents an extremely bleak picture of the potential for one to
live an authentically religious life. However, he also ...
Measurement and analysis of BitTorrent
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
BitTorrent is assumed and predicted to be the world's largest Peer to Peer (P2P)
network. Previous studies of the protocol mainly focus on its file sharing algorithm,
and many relevant aspects of the protocol remain ...
Improvements in communication complexity using quantum entanglement
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Quantum computing resources have been known to provide speed-ups in computational complexity in many algorithms. The impact of these resources in communication, however, has not attracted much attention. We investigate the ...
Eternal recurrence and nature
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Nietzsche has often been interpreted as the champion of heroic, self-sufficient
individuals, who manage to fashion some order out of the raw material of Nature
through the exercise of free will. On the face of things, ...
Towards a characteristic equation for permeability
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The characterization of reservoir permeability (k) remains the elusive challenge in reservoir engineering.
This work considers prior developments in an evolutionary sense, and, as with prior work, our goal is the
development ...
