Use of partner agents in training systems for complex tasks
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Complex tasks are an important part of the world today, but training people to perform complex tasks is difficult. These kinds of tasks usually have variable cognitive loads on the trainee, and, once trained, different ...
U.S. consumers' acceptance and willingness to buy irradiated food
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A consumer intercept survey was conducted to evaluate consumers' attitude and awareness, as well as their willingness to accept irradiated food products. The primary data for this analysis were collected in Spring 2001. A ...
Optimizing well-stimulation treatment size using mixed integer linear programming
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents a model for optimum sizing of well stimulation treatments. The optimization scheme is based on a combination of a well stimulation type selection and treatment size, therefore determining the optimum ...
Stiffness-Mass Ratios Method for a baseline determination and damage assessment of a benchmark structure
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A new method based on ratios between stiffness and mass values from the eigenvalue problem is introduced and applied to the benchmark structure to obtain baseline modal parameters utilizing damaged state information of the ...
The effects of added wheat proteins on processing and quality of wheat flour tortillas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Specific proteins improve quality of flour for breadmaking but protein composition in tortilla flour has not been investigated. Selected wheat protein fractions can separately modify dough resistance and extensibility. ...
Consolidation of zirconium-based metallic glass powder by equal channel angular extrusion
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this study, amorphous Zr₅₈.₅Nb₂.₈Cu₁₅.₆Ni₁₂.₈Al₁₀.₃ (Vitreloy 106a) gas-atomized powder was consolidated by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE). Several copper cans were filled with the powder, vacuum encapsulated ...
A system for catheter tracking using magnetic resonance
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
MRI guidance of surgical and diagnostic tools is a topic of active research. This thesis describes a system developed in a collaborative effort between BioTex, the MD Anderson Cancer Center and Texas A&M to monitor the ...
Prolonged lipoprotein half-life: effect on oxidative stability and physical features of lipoprotein particles
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is responsible for two out of the three leading causes of death in the United States. Oxidatively modified apolipoprotein B-containing lipoprotein (apoB-LPs) are known to ...
Brown is the color of many things: a collection of short stories
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The purpose of my thesis is to demonstrate a grasp of the techniques covered in Creative Writing workshops and lectures. The thesis consists of two parts-the critical introduction and the creative body. In the critical ...
A framework for assembly sequence planning for computer aided design of mechanical assemblies
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a framework for interactive assembly sequence panning for mechanical assemblies. Realizing the utility of such a tool that will enable the product engineer to evaluate the assemblability of his designs ...
