A Comparison of Least-Squares Finite Element Models with the Conventional Finite Element Models of Problems in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics
(2010-07-14)
In this thesis, least-squares based finite element models (LSFEM) for the Poisson equation and Navier-Stokes equation are presented. The least-squares method is simple, general and reliable. Least-squares formulations offer ...
Performance Analysis of Dispersed Spectrum Cognitive Radio Systems
(2011-02-22)
Dispersed spectrum cognitive radio systems represent a promising approach to exploit the utilization of spectral resources to full extent. Therefore, the performance analysis of such systems is conducted in this research. ...
Macrobenthic community structure and total sediment respiration at cold hydrocarbon seeps in the northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Cold seeps are areas of high biomass in the deep-sea, the impacts of these food-rich environments upon the sediment community is unknown in the Gulf of Mexico. The structure and function of benthic communities was ...
Ancient ships of Japan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Ancient ships of Japan, which are little known outside of Japan, are presented
based on the studies of past researchers, as well as a comprehensive analysis of
archaeological remains. The process of development from logboats ...
Evaluation of compost specifications for stormwater management
(2009-05-15)
Urban development will continue to increase in Texas because of population growth and urban sprawl. Despite the desire for urbanization and expansion of the economy, this growth increases the amount of construction, which, ...
The cost-effectiveness of retrofitting sanitary fixtures in restrooms of a university building
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study measured the actual water consumption of sanitary fixtures installed in restrooms of a university building while most studies have been based on the manufacturer's reported flow rate. Furthermore, this study ...
Single-event kinetic modeling of the hydrocracking of hydrogenated vacuum gas oil
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The primary objective of the research project was to further develop a computer program
modeling the hydrocracking of partially hydrogenated vacuum gas oil (HVGO), and to use the
model to compare the theoretical product ...
The relationship between BMI and asthma is a significant health concern among pre-adolescent and adolescent children
(2009-06-02)
In the U.S., the prevalence rates of obesity and asthma have increased over the past 20 years and led to speculation that a correlation exists between them. Most of the research that has been conducted on the association ...
Phytoplankton biomass and community structure at frontal zones in the surface waters of the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Satellite images of chlorophyll concentration in the surface waters of the Gulf of
Mexico suggest a high degree of heterogeneity in the phytoplankton biomass. The
causes of this variability and the amount of variability ...
Genetic pore typing as a means of characterizing reservoir flow units: san andres, sunflower field, terry country, texas
(2009-05-15)
Carbonate reservoirs are characteristically heterogeneous in reservoir quality and
performance owing to the variety of processes that influence pore formation.
Additionally, porosity and permeability do not conform to ...
