Numerical modeling of species transport in turbulent flow and experimental study on aerosol sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Numerical simulations were performed to study the turbulent mixing of a scalar
species in straight tube, single and double elbow flow configurations. Different Reynolds
Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) and Large Eddy Simulation ...
Action of manganese on puberty
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Manganese (Mn) is considered important for normal growth and reproduction. Because Mn can cross the blood brain barrier and accumulate in the hypothalamus, and because it has been suggested that infants and children are ...
The development of N2S2 metal complexes as bidentate ligands for organometallic chemistry
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Electronic and steric parameters for square planar NiN2S2 complexes as bidentate, S-donor ligands have been established. According to the (CO) stretching frequencies and associated computed Cotton-Kraihanzel force constants ...
Source-channel coding for robust image transmission and for dirty-paper coding
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this dissertation, we studied two seemingly uncorrelated, but conceptually
related problems in terms of source-channel coding: 1) wireless image transmission
and 2) Costa ("dirty-paper") code design.
In the first part ...
Factors influencing the failure to graduate from the PACE dropout prevention and recovery program as identified by selected students in the Humble Independent School District
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
There has been a lack of information and research as to the reasons
students did not graduate from high school with a diploma, or GED certificate, or
certificate of completion, even though they were given the opportunity ...
General schedulability bound analysis and its applications in real-time systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Real-time system refers to the computing, communication, and information system with deadline requirements. To meet these deadline requirements, most systems use a mechanism known as the schedulability test which determines ...
Understanding the genetics of aging: a canine model
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
As life expectancy in the United States increases each year, the percentage of the
population that is comprised of aged individuals rises also. Researchers expect the
largest increase in population to occur in the segment ...
A quantitative man-machine model for cyber security efficiency analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The analysis of security defense processes is of utmost importance in the
management of various cyber-security attacks, which are increasing in scope and
rapidity. Organizations need to optimize their resources based on a ...
A branch, price, and cut approach to solving the maximum weighted independent set problem
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The maximum weight-independent set problem (MWISP) is one of the most
well-known and well-studied NP-hard problems in the field of combinatorial
optimization.
In the first part of the dissertation, I explore efficient ...
An external dose reconstruction involving a radiological dispersal device
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Recent events have underscored the need for the United States government to provide streamlined emergency response procedures and subsequent dose estimations for personnel responding to incidents involving radioactive ...
