Wall-pressure and PIV analysis for microbubble drag reduction investigation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The effects of microbubbles injection in the boundary layer of a turbulent channel flow are investigated. Electrolysis demonstrated to be an effective method to produce microbubbles with an average diameter of 30 ??m and ...
Physically based simulation of explosions
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This thesis describes a method for using physically based techniques to model an explosion and the resulting side effects. Explosions are some of the most visually exciting phenomena known to humankind and have become ...
Survival, seasonal movements, and cover use by lesser prairie chickens in the Texas Panhandle
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) numbers have
declined considerably in Texas since the early 1900s. As with other prairie chicken
species, reasons for declining ranges and numbers have been attributed ...
Theory versus experiment of the rotordynamic and leakage characteristics of smooth annular bushing oil seals
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This thesis provides a comparison of experimental rotordynamic coefficients for
laminar, smooth bushing oil seals to theoretical predictions from XLLubeGT and
XLAnSeal. The experimental results come from a new test rig ...
A comparison of traditional and web-based floral design courses
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
As technology has advanced, corporations, government entities, and institutions of higher education have all begun experimenting with online classes and training. In colleges and universities around the world, everything ...
Bulk-Flow analysis for force and moment coefficients of a shrouded centrifugal compressor impeller
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
An analysis is developed for a compressible bulk-flow model of the leakage path
between a centrifugal compressor's impeller shroud and housing along the front and back
side of the impeller. This is an extension of analysis ...
Characterization and assessment of uncertainty in San Juan Reservoir Santa Rosa Field
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study proposes a new, easily applied method to quantify uncertainty in production forecasts for a volumetric gas reservoir based on a material balance model (p/z vs. Gp). The new method uses only observed data and ...
Developing a web accessible integrated database and visualization tool for bovine quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is the location of a gene that affects a trait that is measured on a quantitative (linear) scale. Many important agricultural traits such as weight gain, milk fat content and intramuscular ...
Dynamics of marine pelagic bacterial communities on the Texas-Louisiana shelf
(2009-05-15)
Microbial community interactions within many ecosystems are still relatively
unknown. Investigating links between environmental dynamics and shifting pelagic
bacterial community structures on the Texas-Louisiana shelf, ...
Spatio-temporal distribution of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) relative to prescribed burns on rangeland in South Texas
(2009-05-15)
Overgrazing and fire suppression has left much rangeland in poor condition for
various wildlife species. Prescribed fire is one range improvement practice used to
restore degraded wildlife habitat. I determined the effect ...
