The inventory, seasonality and stoichiometry of the major phosphorus pools in the Sargasso Sea
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Between 1995 and 1997 samples were gathered on 31 cruises at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Site (BATS) for the measurement of soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP), dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and particulate organic ...
Native and exotic freshwater turtle and tortoise trade in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Because the commercial trade in turtles has been considered one of the most dangerous and rapid causes of turtle population declines, it needs to be closely monitored and managed. To quantitatively describe the turtle trade ...
Shear capacity of dapped ended steel plate girders
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of the project was to investigate the shear capacity of dapped ended steel plate girders. Dapped girders with no intermediate transverse-stiffeners between the bearing stiffener and the first interior diaphragm ...
Turbulent heat transfer in rotating rectangular cooling channels with angled ribs and dimples
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An investigation into determining the effect of rotation on heat transfer in smooth, rib-roughened, and dimpled rectangular channels with aspect ratio of 4:1 is detailed in this thesis. Internal cooling channels are ...
The construction and characterization of three genomic libraries of trichoderma virens strain Tv29-8
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Three genomic libraries (lambda, cosmid, and bacterial artificial chromosome) were constructed from Trichoderma virens strain Tv29-8. These libraries have been characterized and used to isolate a full-length copy of a ...
New beam splitter structure with relaxed constraints for electrooptic tunable filter
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Directional couplers with relaxed design requirements for applications in guided wave Electro-Optic Tunable Filters (EOTFs) have been proposed and fabricated in x-cut LiNbO₃ using the Ti-indiffusion technique. The fabricated ...
Buckling and vibration of orthotropic plates with an internal line hinge
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study presents analytical solutions for the buckling and vibration of uniaxially/biaxially loaded orthotropic thin and thick rectangular plates with an internal line hinge. The plate is taken to be flat, rectangular, ...
The impact of cattle grazing on salt marsh and elevated hummock vegetation communities of a Texas barrier island
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
To assess the effects of cattle herbivory on vegetation community structure and composition in a Texas coastal salt marsh, data measuring several vegetation parameters were collected in four distinct habitats within a ...
Carbon flow and ecosystem dynamics in the Mississippi River plume described by inverse analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Planktonic ecosystem dynamics in the buoyant Mississippi River plume were investigated using inverse analysis, a technique that incorporates data describing ecosystem processes and calculates rates of unknown trophic flows ...
Iron acquisition and utilization by Rhodococcus equi: potential virulence factors
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The course of any infection depends upon the pathogenicity of a particular organism and the status of the host's defense mechanisms. Because most bacterial pathogens need iron to multiply, they must develop mechanisms to ...
