Experimental response of gas hybrid bearings for high speed oil-free turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The present investigation advances the analysis and experimental validation of simple gas bearing configurations with static and dynamic force characteristics desirable in high-speed turbomachinery. Comprehensive experiments ...
Bone growth and development in weanling horses given forced exercise
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This study was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of different management techniques to grow weanling horses, focusing on bone growth and development. Horses were put into two management regimens, the first in semi-confinement ...
Chloroplast symbiosis: organization and expression of chloroplast genes and maintenance of chloroplast activity in a foreign host
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The observation of maintenance of photosynthesis by endosymbiotic Vaucheria litorea chloroplasts in the foreign mollusc host Elysia chlorotica over at least seven months indicates a functional genetic apparatus is present ...
Generation of high peak power pulse using 2 stage erbium-doped fiber amplifier
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents the results obtained from generation of high repetition rate, high power output pulse using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA). Two stage amplification was employed. The first stage setup used 980nm ...

Factors affecting the permanence of livestock projects undertaken by Heifer International-Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Heifer International-Mexico (HI-M), a hunger-relieving non-profit organization, collaborates with the Direccin̤ General de Educacin̤ Tecnolg̤ica Agropecuaria-Durango (DGETA) to establish livestock projects involving ...
Re-examination of the current architectural curriculum at Kuwait University
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
As we enter the twenty-first century, it is impossible to ignore that society is growing increasingly more complex. As each year passes, this increasingly complex world requires architects who can contribute to larger, ...
Use of a portable electronic nose to detect off-flavor peanuts
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The feasibility of using a commercial, portable electronic nose to detect off-flavor in peanuts was evaluated in two phases. In phase one, the sensitivity of the electronic nose to headspace humidity was tested by exposing ...
A genetic approach to the study of population structure in white-tailed deer :: evidence from the Noble Foundation Wildlife Unit
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A panel of DNA microsatellite markers was developed in order to simultaneously analyze multiple genetic loci in the white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). These markers were multiplexed and visualized on an automated ...
Verification of the WRF model during a high ozone event over Houston, TX
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
High ozone values were observed in Houston, TX during August 25 - September 1, 2000. A comparison of WRF data with observations and MM5 data was conducted to determine the WRF model's performance in simulating the ...
