Micro-fluidic flow control using the electroosmosis
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of the proposed thesis is the introduction and development of micro-scale particle image velocimetry ([u]-PIV) to study the micro-scale flow field in the electroosmotic flow, which is the flow produced by the ...
Computation of the maximum loadability of a power system using nonlinear optimization
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In recent years, power systems have undergone radical changes by becoming deregulated. Many electric companies have met new requirements and found ways to keep up with the changes in power systems. Issues of transfer ...
Delay analysis of bursty tasks using workload arrival functions
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A real-time application must satisfy timing requirements meaning that hard deadlines must be enforced. It is largely dependent on the defined resources and workload characteristics. In large-scale distributed real-time ...
Radiation fog forecasting using a 1-dimensional model
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The importance of fog forecasting to the aviation community, to road transportation and to the public at large is irrefutable. The deadliest aviation accident in history was in fact partly a result of fog back on 27 March ...
American racism and African diplomats: race and American Cold War policy in West Africa
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Two of the most significant influences on post-World War II American society were Cold War ideology and the struggle over civil rights. The Kennedy years provide a special opportunity to examine the relationship between ...
Functional and taxonomic diversity of microbial communities in reclaimed East Texas lignite mine soils
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A two-year study was conducted at Big Brown lignite mine in Freestone County, Texas, to determine the influence of surface mining and reclamation on the functional and taxonomic diversity in soil microbial communities. ...
A regression model predicting the compressive strength of concrete by means of nondestructive, acoustic measurements
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A sample size of 81, 4" diameter concrete standard cylinders were tested using nondestructive means. These cylinders were collected from three different ready-mix plants across Texas located in Houston, San Antonio and ...
A method for developing visually intelligent construction scheduling data
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The integration of methods, materials, and manpower is the basis for planning the activities of a construction project. The scheduling of these resources used during the construction of buildings is a critical factor that ...
Global P-Delta effects in seismic demand evaluation of vibration controlled steel frames
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The goal of the research was to investigate the effect of global P-Delta on the seismic response of structures. A SAC II three story structure and a reduced order portal frame were the focus of study. The motivation to ...
Dynamic address allocation protocols for Mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Address allocation is an important issue in Mobile ad hoc networks. This thesis proposes solutions to assign unique IP addresses to nodes participating in Mobile ad hoc networks and evaluates the proposed solutions. Address ...
