Exchangeable sodium accumulation and replacement in Southeast Texas soils under turfgrass
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Many municipal water supplies in Southeast Texas have a relatively high level of Na+ and low total dissolved solids. Most soils of this area are dominated by smectitic clays that respond to wetting by swelling, especially ...
Thin film growth and characterization of Potassium-Tantalate-Niobate room temperature ferroelectric
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The primary objective in fabricating ferroelectric thin films is to duplicate the polar properties and characteristics of the corresponding bulk material. Potassium Tantalate-Niobate (KTN), KTa(,-,)Nb,03-, is a continuous ...
Peach is Dead: the infusion of comedy into contemporary American drama
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
This thesis consists of an original play written in the tradition of contemporary seriocomic American drama. Peach is Dead explores a disintegrating friendship between four complex women. Although the subject and outcome ...
Design and implementation of a large integrated crossbar switch for a 256 x 256 x 8 interconnection network
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Crossbar switches provide the maximum possible bandwidth and minimum possible latency of all interconnect structures. Due to the large area required for large switches, monolithic crossbars have usually been limited to 64 ...
A genetic study of mycelial compatibility groups of Sclerotium rolfsii
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Sclerotium rolfsii isolates from Texas peanut fields were grouped according to mycelial compatibility; 262 isolates arbitrarily-collected from plants showing symptoms of southern blight in four central Texas fields, and ...
Studies of the Al2O3:C thermoluminescent dosimeter
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Versatile thermoluminescent dosimetry systems have always been essential in radiation protection programs. Recent sensitivity, fade rate, and energy response studies have shown A'201:C to be very promising for applications ...
Allylboration of allylsilanes with allyldichloroboranes
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
A number of allylsilanes were synthesized and their reactions with allyldichloroboranes were studied. The stereochemistry and scope of this new allylboration reaction have been determined. These new allylboration reagents ...
A study of the augmented Lagrangian method for open loop and closed loop constrained multibody dynamic systems
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The primary objective of this thesis is to study the augmented Lagrangian method for open and closed loop constrained multibody dynamic systems. Much research has been carried out for the performance of the augmented ...
Design of a low-cost worm-gear system as teaching tool for controller design
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
In this thesis, we designed and developed a teaching tool based on a worm gear system and a general controller test environment. The experimental apparatus consists of three parts: an armature controlled DC motor with a ...
Effect of dimethylsulphoxide on fertilization of Bovine oocytes matured in vitro
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this research was to test the sensitivity of in vitro matured bovine oocytes to the addition of the cryoprotectant, DMSO, at room temperature and at O C. In the first experiment, oocytes were randomly ...
