Optimization studies on thermal and mechanical manufacturing processes for multifilament superconducting tape and wire
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
There are many parameters that significantly affect the electrical performance of ceramic-core superconducting composite wire and tapes, which remain ambiguous and require more labor on their optimization. BSCCO 2212 has ...
The development and application of a diode-laser-based ultraviolet absorption sensor for nitric oxide
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis describes the development of a new type of sensor for nitric oxide (NO) that can be used in a variety of combustion diagnostics and control applications. The sensor utilizes the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) ...
Predictions of monthly energy consumption and annual patterns of energy usage for convenience stores by using multiple and nonlinear regression models
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Thirty convenience stores in College Station, Texas, have been selected as the samples for an energy consumption prediction. The predicted models assist facility energy managers for making decisions of energy demand/supply ...
The Mepkin Abbey shipwreck: diving into Mepkin Plantation's past
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
When discovered by sport divers in 1970, the Mepkin Abbey shipwreck was immediately reported to the South Carolina Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology (SCIAA). The wreck was first investigated in 1980, and a preliminary ...
Effects of Shape and Size of Gold Nanoparticles on the Properties of Colloid and Nanocomposite
(2010-01-16)
For more than a decade nanomaterials have attained huge attraction owing to the exceptionally different and excellent characteristics as compared to their bulk form. In the present research, we focus on understanding the ...
Experimental Two-Phase Flow Characterization of Subcooled Boiling in a Rectangular Channel
(2010-01-16)
On the efforts to provide a reliable source of experimental information on turbulent
subcooled boiling ow, time resolved Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) experiments
were carried out using HFE-301 refrigerant ow through ...
Influences of vegetation characteristics and invertebrate abundance of Rio Grande wild turkey populations, Edwards Plateau, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Since 1970, Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallapavo intermedia) numbers in the southern region of the Edwards Plateau of Texas have been declining. Nest-site characteristics and invertebrate abundance were hypothesized ...
The Vogelbarke of Medinet Habu
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The Sea Peoples are generally assumed to be a loose confederation of clans that first appeared in the historical record in the 14th century B.C.E. Over a century of scholarship has puzzled over whether they were responsible ...
Two algorithms for leader election and network size estimation in mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
We develop two algorithms for important problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). A MANET is a collection of mobile processors (nodes) which communicate via message passing over wireless links. Each node can communicate ...
Filter Design Considerations for High Performance Continuous-Time Low-Pass Sigma-Delta ADC
(2011-02-22)
Continuous-time filters are critical components in the implementation of large bandwidth, high frequency, and high resolution continuous-time (CT) sigma-delta (ΣΔ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The loop filter defines ...
