The morphological development of a wood burl shader
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
In the field of computer graphics, shaders provide an interface between lights and surfaces, giving the appearance of metal, plastic, wood, etc. As the field progresses, more and more shaders are required to simulate a ...
Mortuary practice in sociohistorical and archaeological contexts: Texas, 1821-1870
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Historical accounts of mortuary display during the 19th-century and evidence from archaeological investigations at historic cemeteries can contribute substantially to our understanding of related chronological and social-status ...
The Mica shipwreck: deepwater nautical archaeology in the Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to describe the investigation of the Mica shipwreck. The objectives of the investigation, as identified by nautical archaeologists from the United States Minerals Management Service and the ...
Optimization of composite tubes for a thermal optical lens housing design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis describes the manufacturing, structural analysis and testing of a composite cylinder for space application. This work includes the design and fabrication of a reusable multicomponent mandrel made of aluminum ...
Evaluation and heritability of ergot resistance derived from sorghum germplasm IS8525.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench) is fifth among the major cereal crops in the world in terms of production area and total production. Grain sorghum can be successfully produced in a wide range of environments, its ...
Modeling of cryogen leakage through composite laminates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Cryogenic composites find critical application in the manufacture of fuel tanks for reusable launch vehicles due to significant reduction in overall structural weight of the tank. These fuel tanks contain ...
Evaluation and design of double-skin facades for office buildings in hot climates
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The main objectives of this research are (a) to investigate the thermal effect of double skin facades in office buildings in hot climates and (b) to propose guidelines for their efficient design based on this evaluation. ...
Rapid assessment of redevelopment potential in marginal oil fields, application to the cut bank field
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Quantifying infill potential in marginal oil fields often involves several challenges. These include highly heterogeneous reservoir quality both horizontally and vertically, incomplete reservoir databases, considerably ...
Mastery of sixth grade TEKS objectives through integrated learning
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
