A preference-based extension for the scalable consensus-based bandwidth allocation protocol in a multicast video conference environment
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis develops a protocol extension, the Preference-based Allocation eXtension for Layered Sources (PAXLS), to complement the existing Scalable ConsensUs based Bandwidth Allocation (SCUBA) protocol used in allocation ...
Sediment water exchange of trace metals and nutrients in Galveston Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The benthic fluxes of several trace metals and nutrients were determined for three stations along the salinity gradient in the Trinity Bay region of Galveston Bay, Texas, using whole core squeezing techniques in conjunction ...
Arthropod population and community dynamics in turfgrass
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Non-target arthropod and nematode populations in ographics. fungal and nematode treated bermudagrass were contrasted with populations in a chlorpyrifos and an untreated control treatment. Fifty-five arthropod families or ...
Growth of yearling fillies fed alfalfa or soybean meal
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Sixteen Quarter Horse yearling fillies were used in a 112-d randomized, block experiment to determine the efficacy of alfalfa hay protein to support growth in young horses. The yearlings were paired according to weight and ...
Design Studio Organizer: software development to facilitate architectural design studio activities
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Computer-aided design is active in architectural practice. Thus, it has become required training in architectural education. While offering accuracy and effectiveness for computer-aided architectural design, computer ...
Oxygen isotope records of carboniferous seasonality on the Russian platform
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Seven isotopic and eight trace element (TE) profiles across shell growth lines are presented, based on over 1000 stable isotope and electron microprobe analyses on six brachiopod shells (Gigantoproductus), to quantify ...
A potential vorticity diagnostic approach to upper-level frontogenesis within a devloping baroclinic wave
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
According to the traditional approach, upper-level frontogenesis results from a geostrophic forcing and its ageostrophic response acting in concert to tighten the horizontal temperature gradient. Particular focus is placed ...
Simulation of operational transients in a VVER-1000 nuclear power plant using the RELAP5/MOD3.2 computer program
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A RELAP5/MOD3.2 nodalization model of a VVER-1OOO (V-320) nuclear power plant was updated, improved and validated against available experimental data. The data included integrated test results obtained from actual power ...
Educational patterns of the marginalized: an integrated model of Mexican American performance on cognitive tests
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The explanations for Mexican American underachievement in education have been centered on the cultural deficit paradigm. However, studies of this nature have failed to utilize the multilevel approach to account for the ...
Interactions of gallium with zircaloy cladding
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A mastering system was constructed and installed on the current low energy accelerator of the Ion Beam Laboratory in the Department of Nuclear Engineering. Galium was implanted into heated zircaloy targets at nuances of ...
