Two photon luminescence from quantum dots using broad and narrowband ultrafast laser pulses
(2009-05-15)
Nonlinear optical microscopy (NLOM) offers many advantages when imaging
intact biological samples. By using ultrafast lasers in the near infrared and two photon
excitation (TPE), signal production is limited to the focal ...
Performance evaluation of an active filter non-regenerative AC drive
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this work is to evaluate the performance of a specific ac drive topology that is of current interest in industry. With the increasing pressure for compliance with IEEE–519 and other international harmonic ...
Multi-stage linear slot virtual impactor for concentration of bioaerosols
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Two linear slot virtual impactor arrangements were developed and investigated in this study. Both arrangements encompassed two-stage impaction for concentration of bioaerosols. The first arrangement consisted of eight ...
Mold susceptibility of rapidly renewable materials used in wall construction
(2009-05-15)
Since 1998, the United States Green Building Council, via the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design (LEED) standards, has established the premiere set of guidelines
for construction ethics from the standpoint of ...
A new graphical user interface for a 3D topological mesh modeler
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
In this thesis, I present a new platform-independent, open source, intuitive
graphical user interface for TopMod, an application designed for interacting with
3-dimensional manifold meshes represented by a Doubly Linked ...
Effect of Daylighting on Energy Consumption and Daylight Quality in an Existing Elementary School
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This research investigates the effects of daylighting in an existing elementary
school in College Station, Texas. The conclusions are generalizable to similar school
designs in hot and humid climates. This study focuses ...
Economic feasibility of ethanol production from sweet sorghum juice in Texas
(2009-05-15)
Environmental and political concerns centered on energy use from gasoline have
led to a great deal of research on ethanol production. The goal of this thesis is to
determine if it is profitable to produce ethanol in Texas ...
Cost of being a Mexican immigrant and being a Mexican non-citizen in California and Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The purpose of this thesis is to examine hourly wage differences across different
groups of Mexican-origin workers. First, I assess the cost of foreign-born status by
comparing the hourly wages of Mexican immigrant workers ...
First Law Energy Balance as a Data Screening Tool
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This thesis defines the Energy Balance Load ( BL E ) as the difference between the
heating requirements plus the electric gains in the building and the cooling coil loads. It
then applies a first law energy balance in ...
Using Local Information for Compositing CG Into Traditional Art
(2010-01-16)
I describe a procedure for compositing digital graphics into traditional artwork based
on local characteristics of the art. This is based on understanding that variations
in pictorial characteristics such as perspective, ...
