Mechanics of nonlinear biomembranes: application to ophthalmology
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Changes in the mechanics of the lens capsule of the eye arising from alterations of
its native configuration can lead to undesirable clinical results. One example is the
surgical introduction of a hole into the lens capsule ...
Capacity-building: an inquiry into the local coastal program component of coastal zone management in Louisiana
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Social research specifically aimed at evaluating the efficacy of coastal zone management
programs at the parish (county) level in building local capacities has been meager in
academic literatures and absent from Louisiana ...
Data integrity for on-chip interconnects
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
With shrinking feature size and growing integration density in the Deep Sub-
Micron (DSM) technologies, the global buses are fast becoming the "weakest-links"
in VLSI design. They have large delays and are error-prone. ...
An examination of the perceived need and recommended body of knowledge for architectural internship programs in Kuwait
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This study stresses and reflects a professional concern for the state of architecture
in Kuwait, with a specific emphasis on the development of competence of architectural
students and recent graduates on professional ...
Supported phospholipid membranes as biometric labs-on-a-chip: analytical devices that mimic cell membrane architectures and provide insight into the mechanism of biopreservation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation focuses on the applications of solid supported phospholipid
membranes as mimics of the cellular membrane using lab-on-a-chip devices in order to
study biochemical events such as ligand-receptor binding ...
A non-continuum approach to obtain a macroscopic model for the flow of traffic
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Existing macroscopic models for the flow of traffic treat traffic as a continuum or
employ techniques similar to those used in the kinetic theory of gases. Spurious two-
way propagation of disturbances that are physically ...
Parallel algorithms for inductance extraction
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
In VLSI circuits, signal delays play an important role in design, timing verification and
signal integrity checks. These delays are attributed to the presence of parasitic resistance,
capacitance and inductance. With ...
Small sample feature selection
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
High-throughput technologies for rapid measurement of vast numbers of biolog-
ical variables offer the potential for highly discriminatory diagnosis and prognosis;
however, high dimensionality together with small samples ...
Protein folding and phylogenetic tree reconstruction using stochastic approximation Monte Carlo
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Recently, the stochastic approximation Monte Carlo algorithm has been proposed
by Liang et al. (2005) as a general-purpose stochastic optimization and simulation
algorithm. An annealing version of this algorithm was developed ...
Decomposition algorithms for multi-area power system analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
A power system with multiple interconnected areas needs to be operated coordinately
for the purposes of the system reliability and economic operation, although
each area has its own ISO under the market environment. In ...
