Validation of the Highway Performance Monitoring System for forecasting levels of traffic
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis documents the results and studies conducted when determining the accuracy of the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT) methodology of forecasting future levels of traffic demand. The data that was used was ...
Computer aided analysis for residual stress measurement using ultrasonic techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Critically refracted longitudinal (Lcr) waves have been investigated with a computerized data acquisition and analysis technique to evaluate residual stresses present in a residual stress reference standard. This measurement ...
Quadratic voltage profiles in lead acid cells during slow, steady processes
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
It is standard lore that the voltage profile varies linearly in space within the electrolyte of a lead acid cell under slow, steady discharge. However, this hypothesis has never been put to the test. A recent theory predicts ...
The use of Doppler radar to predict cloud-to-ground lightning
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
If the National Weather Service could forecast the occurrences of cloud-toground lightning strikes, it would benefit the authorities that are served by the WSR-88Ds. In this thesis I will examine the WSR-88D level 11 archive ...
Brown is the color of many things: a collection of short stories
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The purpose of my thesis is to demonstrate a grasp of the techniques covered in Creative Writing workshops and lectures. The thesis consists of two parts-the critical introduction and the creative body. In the critical ...
Gene structure and regulation of cryparin, a hydrophobin of the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Cryphonectria parasitica is a filamentous fungus that causes a disease in chestnut trees called chestnut blight. Hypovirulence and decreased sporulation by the fungus are caused by the presence of a unique double-stranded ...
A framework for assembly sequence planning for computer aided design of mechanical assemblies
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a framework for interactive assembly sequence panning for mechanical assemblies. Realizing the utility of such a tool that will enable the product engineer to evaluate the assemblability of his designs ...
Effects of ultraviolet light on aerobic plate counts, Salmonella typhimurium, and Escherichia coli levels on eggshell surface
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The effects of 254nm ultraviolet light (UV) radiation on aerobic plate counts (APC), and populations of Salmonella typhimurium, and Escherichia coli on eggshells surfaces were investigated. In the first experiment, eggs ...
Ground beef shelf life assessment as influenced by sodium lactate, sodium propionate, sodium diacetate, and soy protein concentrate
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In phase I all-beef and soy-added ground beef patties containing sodium lactate, sodium propionate, and sodium diacetate at various levels and combinations were stored for nine months at -10°C. Upon cooking, the addition ...
GIS: a web-based genomics information system for efficiently manipulating and accessing genome physical maps
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Biological science has entered the genome era. Global genome integrative physical and genetic mapping promises to revolutionize modern genomics research. To facilitate manipulation and applications of the results from ...
