The effect of subsurface temperature variability on the predictability of SST in the tropical Atlantic Ocean
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The role of thermocouple variability and its effects on tropical Atlantic SST is investigated through the generation of SST predictions using a linear inverse modeling technique developed by Penland (1989). In order to ...
Homological algebra in categories of Banach spaces
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In this paper I wish to develop basic algebraic concepts, category theory, and homology theory in the world of Banach spaces. We begin by defining such terms as morphisms and exact sequences, and considering what these ...
Field distribution and genetic variability of Panicum mosaic virus satellite RNAs in St. Augustine decline
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
'St. Augustine decline' is a viral disease associated with St. Augustinegrass, Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze, a turfgrass common to the Gulf Coast region of the United States. A survey of 204 plants from two ...
Biochemical regulation of circadian 2-125 I-iodomelatonin binding in chick optic tectum
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The avian optic tectum (Teo), a visual relay area, exhibits specific binding of 2-[1211]iodomelatonin (IMEL) in a circadian rhythmic fashion. Samples of Teo representing different circadian times (CTs) (CT2, CT6, CTIO, ...
Investigation of moisture effects on interfacial properties of an epoxy matrix composite by dynamic mechanical analysis
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The interfacial properties of polymer matrix composites are critical to the retention of the mechanical properties of the composites in a wet environment. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of moisture ...
Source-verification process: testing the system and determining consumer attitude
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Cattle representing three different methods of grouping cattle for marketing were implanted with Electronic Identification Numbers. Of these groups of cattle, the 308 Select carcasses were followed through the packinghouse ...
Experimental evaluation of rotordynamic coefficients for hybrid metal mesh pocket damper seals in turbomachinery
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This research was dedicated toward measuring the potential of a new hybrid seal design between a two-bladed PDS and a metal mesh element, which is used as the exit blade of this PDS. The goals were to reduce leakage of the ...
Automated 3D reconstruction of neuronal structures from serial sections
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A fast automated system for tracing neurons in parallel is described, adequate to support a quantitative analysis of neuron morphology. The system described here automates digitized neuron feature extraction and reconstruction, ...
The basis for the determination that the abandoned cold recovery system is a non-fissle operation
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Application of strict NRC regulation to older nuclear facilities raises safety concerns that would otherwise have been overlooked. This paper looks at a specific operation that has been abandoned for thirty years. The ...
The rhetoric of the NEA/AFT merger: managing conflicting conceptualizations of identity and democracy
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
After many years of negotiations, the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers were poised to merge, but the 1998 Representative Assembly failed to approve this merger. This thesis examines ...
