Optimal command generation for maneuvering the space station
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of this research is to obtain near minimum-fuel and minimum-time maneuver commands for large-angle maneuvers for the international space station. Attitude and angular velocity waypoints are generated using ...
Experimental investigation of the condensation phenomenon in micro-grooved plates
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The addition of micro-grooves to a condensing surface has been proposed with the aim of reducing the film thickness so that the condensation heat transfer coefficient is increased. Micro-grooves promote the removal of ...
Evaluation of whole cottonseed consumption on growth and reproductive function in male cervids
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Twenty-four fallow bucks were randomly allotted by body weight, body condition score and age to one of two treatment groups: control (C; 4:1 corn:soybean meal) and whole cottonseed (WCS; 1.14% free gossypol), to evaluate ...
Situating a Kierkegaardian community: transcending solidarity and difference
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this project, a Kierkegaardian concept of community is developed despite Kierkegaard's emphasis on the individual over and against the collective. It will require a new reading of Kierkegaard that moves beyond Kierkegaard ...
Communication synthesis for on chip networks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The modern day System on Chip (SoC) is made up of a large number of heterogeneous cores with varied communication requirements. On chip networks are the scalable, global interconnection solutions for these explicitly ...
Study of approaches to quality in the architectural profession
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Quality, as defined by the researcher, is a holistic concept of satisfaction of all the participants in architectural design: clients, users and professionals. This thesis analyzes what quality implies to architects. At ...
Fabrication and characterization of porous NiTi Shape Memory Alloy by elevated pressure sintering
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have emerged as a class of materials with unique thermal and mechanical properties that have found numerous applications in various engineering fields. Even beyond the shape memory characteristics ...
Structured Adaptive Model Inversion control with fault tolerance and actuator position limits
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Structured Adaptive Model Inversion (SAMI) is a model reference adaptive control formulation that takes advantage of the dynamical structure of the state-space descriptions of a large class of systems. Most dynamic systems ...
Supplementation of DETA/NO attenuates cold stress induced pulmonary hypertension syndrome in broilers
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The anatomical and physiological structure of avians increases the broiler chicken's susceptibility to pulmonary hypertension syndrome (PHS). This has been a continual problem in the poultry industry costing millions of ...
Localization of the production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and its conversion to ethylene during the rhythmic production of the gas in Sorghum bicolor seedlings
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Studies were conducted to determine where in the plant 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is made and converted to ethylene in Sorghum bicolor seedlings producing the gas in circadian rhythms. For the first time, ...
