Near-infrared approaches for cell culture monitoring
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Current techniques for monitoring glucose and lactate concentrations in cell culture media require invasive and tedious handling of the sample for sterile media removal and nutrient replacement. Even though in situ or ex ...
Experimental studies of steam-propane and enriched gas injection for the Minas light crude oil
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Experimental studies were carried out to compare the benefits of propane as an additive in steam injection and in lean gas injection to enhance production for the Minas light crude oil (34⁰API). The studies on steam-propane ...
3D seismic interpretation, reservoir characteristics and petroleum prospects for South Marsh Island OCS Blocks, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The South Marsh OCS Blocks, located approximately 150 miles southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, contain a 100-million-barrel oil field. In recent years, exploration in this area has focused on plays in Pleistocene ...
Interpreting slavery at plantation museums and historic sites
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Interpreting slavery can be a difficult and controversial task. Recent literature has shown that the majority of plantation museums and historic sites, which historically enslaved African-Americans, are currently ignoring ...
Using a cloud resolving model to generate the beam-filling correction for microwave retrieval of oceanic rainfall
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Estimating rain rate from microwave emission is hampered by several difficulties. One of these difficulties is known as the beam-filling error. This error stems from the fact that the relationship between microwave brightness ...
Virtual Edition Reader's Interface: initial design and implementation
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis describes the design and implementation of the initial version of an interactive Electronic Variorum Edition Reader's Interface to serve the needs of various users from multiple backgrounds. The critical goals ...
A motion planner for a redundant mobile manipulator using the inverse kinematics
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis is an effort to develop a powerful motion-planning algorithm for the mobile manipulator. The mobile manipulator is expected to work in partially defined or unstructured environments. In global/local approach, ...
An Experimental Study on the Effects of an Upstream Gate Valve on the Accuracy of an Insertion Type Flowmeter
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Flowmeters measure the consumption of chilled water or hot water in buildings. Depending on the accuracy, cost consideration, and available space, the flowmeter selected could be an insertion type or fixed type such as ...
Texas agricultural science teachers' perceptions of the FFA leadership concepts
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The intent of this study was to analyze the leadership concepts developed for the National FFA Essential Learnings Project based on the analysis of high school agricultural science teachers' perceptions. The study's ...
Evaluation of Mixing Downstream of Tees in Duct Systems with Respect to Single Point Representative Air Sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Air duct systems in nuclear facilities must meet the requirements of ANSI N13.1-1999 and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the exhaust airflow be monitored with continuous sampling in case of an accidental ...
