Mating flight initiation and nutritional status of Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) alates infected with Thelohania solenopsae (Microsporida: Thelohaniidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Allen and Hazard, is a microsporidian pathogen that infects the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren. This four part study examined the effects that T. solenopsae had on fire ant ...
Tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser using an intra-cavity filter
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Linear tuning the frequency of an erbium-doped fiber ring laser using both a Fabry-Perot filter and an electro-optic tunable filter has been experimentally demonstrated. The rate of frequency change is determined by ...
Landowner survey of a cost-share brush management program in two Texas watersheds
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
With the expanding population of Texas and the resulting increase in demand for water, the scarcity of water is becoming an increasingly urgent issue and research is being conducted to find ways to improve water yield, the ...
Opening the closed shop: the Galveston Longshoremen's Strike, 1920-1921
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Beginning in March of 1920, the Galveston coastwise longshoremens strike against the Morgan-Southern Pacific and Mallory steamship lines was a pivotal moment in the history of organized labor in Texas. Local and statewide ...
Cooperative self-localization in a multi-robot-no-landmark scenario using fuzzy logic
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this thesis, we develop a method using fuzzy logic to do cooperative localization. In a group of robots, at a given instant, each robot gives crisp pose estimates for all the other robots. These crisp pose values are ...
Evaluation of high strength concrete prestressed bridge girder design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research study focuses on evaluating the design of HSC prestressed bridge
girders. Specifically there were three major objectives. First, to determine the current state of practice for the design of HSC prestressed ...
Discovering relationships in genetic regulatory networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The development of cDNA microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expression status of thousands of genes. A natural use for this vast amount of information would be to try and figure ...
Seasonal analysis of abiotic factors impacting phytoplankton assemblages in Offatts Bayou, Galveston, Texas
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this investigation in Offatts Bayou was to quantify natural shifts in
distributions and abundances of algal groups and to examine spatio-temporal patterns of
abiotic and biotic characteristics in the water column ...
Control of new follicular wave emergence and rate of follicular maturation in bos indicus-influenced cattle with estradiol benzoate, temporary calf removal and progesterone
(2009-05-15)
Objectives were to determine: 1) whether estradiol benzoate (EB) provides a superior alternative to GnRH for synchronizing emergence, growth and maturation of a new follicular wave for fixed timed AI (TAI) in Bos ...
Global performance analysis of floating harbor and container ship for loading and offloading operation
(2009-05-15)
The feasibility and general performance of a floating harbor system is studied with regard to the
relative motion of a floating quay and a container ship. A 350[m]× 160[m] box-type barge is
selected as the floating harbor ...
