Diet composition and performance of female collegiate soccer players
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Optimal nutrition for soccer athletes facilitates adaptation to the metabolic and energy demands of training and competition. Limited data have examined habitual dietary practices of female players, especially at the ...
Evaluation of mechanical properties of high strength concrete for prestressed concrete bridge design
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
High strength concrete (HSC) are widely used in prestressed concrete bridges in Texas. However, current design provisions for prestressed concrete bridge structures such as the AASHTO LRFD Specifications (2000) were ...
Virtual representation and analysis of structural systems, presented with a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The main goal of this thesis is to establish and define the necessary procedures for a proposed method of analytical simulation for complex structural systems. In order to illustrate the required steps of the simulation ...
Effects of flow paths on tight gas well performance
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This thesis is a collection of models, solutions and analysis equations or type curves useful in analyzing the production behavior of tight gas wells. Variety of flow solutions is adapted to yield pressure response for ...
Neon time-of-flight backscattering spectrometry for surface analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Several time-of-flight backscattering spectrometry experiments using singly ionized neon for purposes of analyzing a bismuth coated silicon target were conducted. This work builds upon prior work, done with lighter ions, ...
Implementation of a cut flower and seed production garden at Monticello
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The restored gardens of Monticello fulfill multiple roles, including the enhancement of the architectural and historical aspects of Thomas Jefferson's estate, a botanical garden, a site for historic plant preservation and ...
Multiple prey traits, multiple predators: keys to understanding complex species interactions
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Species interactions generate both natural selection and ecological community structure. Among the more interesting species interactions are those that create adaptive tradeoffs-where phenotypes conferring improved ...
Small livestock farmer participation in the making of agricultural policy decisions in Trinidad and Tobago
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Farmer participation in policy decision-making has been widely hypothesized to be a critical success factor for policy, program, and project development. Bottom-up approaches build on farmers' capacities and capabilities ...
Automatic Calibration of a Building Energy Performance Model and Remote Fault Detection For Continuous Commissioning Using a Global Optimization Program
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Building simulation models have been used for many years to forecast and analyze a building's energy consumption. Over the past several decades, building energy simulation programs and input techniques have been developed ...
The role of apolipoprotein VLDL-II in regulating the diameter of VLDLy
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The physiological function of each class of lipoproteins is dictated in part by the structural biology of the lipoprotein particle. Proteins embedded in the superficial phospholipid monolayer (apolipoproteins) facilitate ...
