The inheritance and genetic relationships of the resistance to Phytophthora capsici in two chile pepper (Capsicum annum) genotypes
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The inheritance of two resistant genotypes, Criollo de Morelos 334 and Fidel, to P. capsici seems to be controlled by two recessive genes, with epistatic and additive effects respectively. Both resistant genotypes could ...
Experimental and simulation studies of water-alternating-enriched gas injection for San Francisco Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis presents a complete investigation involving experimental and compositional reservoir simulation studies into enriched gas injection as a method to enhance oil recovery from the San Francisco field in Colombia. ...
Quantify shape, angularity and surface texture of aggregates using image analysis and study their effect on performance
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
There is a consensus among researchers that the aggregate shape properties affect performance, but a debate has risen over the suitability of these physical tests to quantify the related shape property. Most of these ...
Effect of homogenization pressure and whey protein source on rheological properties of heat-set whey protein emulsion gels
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Emulsions with 10% protein and 20% butter oil were prepared by dispersing sweet whey protein concentrate (SWPC), acid whey protein concentrate (AWPC), or AWPC + glycomacropeptide (GMP) in distilled water with butteroil. ...
Stacking Pima S-6 fiber length alleles in a Tamcot 2111 background
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Molecular markers can be used to stack fiber quality alleles among recombinant inbred lines and thus, aid in the development of unique genotypes. The objective of this study was to determine the potential for stacking ...
A defense of Kantian internalism against Aristotelian approaches to practical reasoning
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Kantian internalism was developed in part as a response to objections to Kantian ethical theory leveled by philosophers such as Bernard Williams and Michael Stocker. Their arguments are evaluated in light of Kantian ...
Simulation studies of steam-propane injection for the Hamaca heavy oil field
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Simulation studies were performed to evaluate a novel technology, steam-propane injection, for the heavy Hamaca crude oil. The oil has a gravity of 9.3⁰API and a viscosity of 25,000 cp at 50⁰C. Two types of simulation ...
Communicating about feminism and implementing feminist practices in research methodology
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This research project is an interdisciplinary study, intersecting the humanities with the social sciences and incorporating aspects of discourse analysis, sociology, and women's studies into a unified project. The study ...
Performance based evaluation of the seismic resistance of structures with concrete diaphragms
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Under seismic loading, floor and roof systems in reinforced concrete (RC) buildings act as diaphragms to transfer earthquake loads to the vertical lateral force resisting system (LFRS). In current practice, horizontal ...
Reconstructing the past: architectural analysis of communal structures at the NAN Ranch ruin (LA2465), Grant County, New Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Eleven seasons of field work at the NAN Ranch ruin (LA 2465), a multicomponent Mimbres site in Grant County, New Mexico, have allowed researchers to reconstruct a detailed sequence of architectural development stretching ...
