Dynamic leakage from laboratory safety hoods
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate hood leakage by measuring face velocity and turbulence during a volume generating process designed to simulate a hot process, defined here as any operation producing ...
Effects of simulated microgravity on vasoconstrictor and mechanical properties of the rat abdominal aorta
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In humans and rats, microgravity induces adaptations within the cardiovascular system that appear to include modifications in peripheral vascular reactivity. Rodent hindlimb unweighting (HU) has been used to model putative ...
Internal structure of the Kern Canyon Fault, California: a deeply exhumed strike-slip fault
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Deformation and mineral alteration adjacent to a 2 km long segment of the Kern Canyon fault near Lake Isabella, California are studied to characterize the internal structure of the fault zone and to understand the development ...
Design of a fast-settling OTA for high frequency switched-capacitor applications
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The ever-growing technology has enabled switched-capacitor (SC) circuits to operate at the MHz frequency range. The equally increasing demand for high speed signal processing using SC technique dictates the need of high ...
A subnet based approach to reducing traffic in peer-to-peer systems
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis describes the motivation for devising a technique to control the network traffic generated in order to maintain the functioning of a decentralized peer-to-peer system. It details the features and implementation ...
Analysis of genes regulated by the peroxide response regulator PerR in Borrelia burgdorferi using real-time RT-PCR
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, the etiologic agent of Lyme disease, is a spirochetal bacterium that is transmitted to mammals via the bite of an Ixodes tick. The environments that the bacterium is exposed to when it ...
Homesite attendance as a measure of alloparental and parental care by gray wolves (Canis lupus) in northern Yellowstone National Park
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Cooperative breeding in mammals is quite rare. Helping with care of young by alloparents tends to be associated with monogamous family groups where dispersal of alloparents is delayed. This study focused on homesite ...
Software branch prediction via inter-procedural path profiling
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The technique of predicting branch directions before execution is defined as branch prediction. Conditional branches pose a hazard to the instruction flow since the instruction that executes after the branch is not known. ...
Mimbres rock art: a graphic legacy of cultural expression
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Rock art abounds along the Mimbres River banks and drainage tributaries reflecting the rich cultural remains of the ancient Mimbres people. The Mimbres are a well established cultural group who lived in southwest New Mexico ...
