Cooperative self-localization in a multi-robot-no-landmark scenario using fuzzy logic
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this thesis, we develop a method using fuzzy logic to do cooperative localization. In a group of robots, at a given instant, each robot gives crisp pose estimates for all the other robots. These crisp pose values are ...
Evaluation of high strength concrete prestressed bridge girder design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research study focuses on evaluating the design of HSC prestressed bridge
girders. Specifically there were three major objectives. First, to determine the current state of practice for the design of HSC prestressed ...
Discovering relationships in genetic regulatory networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The development of cDNA microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expression status of thousands of genes. A natural use for this vast amount of information would be to try and figure ...
Seasonal analysis of abiotic factors impacting phytoplankton assemblages in Offatts Bayou, Galveston, Texas
(2009-05-15)
The aim of this investigation in Offatts Bayou was to quantify natural shifts in
distributions and abundances of algal groups and to examine spatio-temporal patterns of
abiotic and biotic characteristics in the water column ...
Control of new follicular wave emergence and rate of follicular maturation in bos indicus-influenced cattle with estradiol benzoate, temporary calf removal and progesterone
(2009-05-15)
Objectives were to determine: 1) whether estradiol benzoate (EB) provides a superior alternative to GnRH for synchronizing emergence, growth and maturation of a new follicular wave for fixed timed AI (TAI) in Bos ...
Global performance analysis of floating harbor and container ship for loading and offloading operation
(2009-05-15)
The feasibility and general performance of a floating harbor system is studied with regard to the
relative motion of a floating quay and a container ship. A 350[m]× 160[m] box-type barge is
selected as the floating harbor ...
Role of AI-2 in oral biofilm formation using microfluidic devices
(2009-05-15)
Biofilms are highly organized bacterial structures that are attached to a surface.
They are ubiquitous in nature and may be detrimental, causing numerous types of
illnesses in living organisms. Biofilms in the human oral ...
Noise reduction control strategy of a permanent magnet synchronous machine for vehicle applications
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this work was to investigate a permanent magnet synchronous machine
which will be produced by an industry partner of the Institut für Stromrichtertechnik und
Elektrische Antriebe (ISEA) an institute of the ...
Analyzing risk and uncertainty for improving water distribution system security from malevolent water supply contamination events
(2009-05-15)
Previous efforts to apply risk analysis for water distribution systems (WDS) have
not typically included explicit hydraulic simulations in their methodologies. A risk
classification scheme is here employed for identifying ...
The effect of censorship on American film adaptations of Shakespearean plays
(2009-05-15)
From July 1, 1934, to November 1, 1968, the Production Code Administration
(PCA) oversaw the creation of American motion pictures, in order to improve
Hollywood’s moral standing. To assist in this endeavor, the studios ...
