Experimental measurement and analysis of wall pressure distribution for a 50% eccentric whirling annular seal
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In any rotating machinery, the geometry of the seal influences the extent of systemleakage. The path taken by the flow in the clearance volume is dependent on the seal and rotor profile. The clearance between a new ...
Perception Based Character Modeling and Animation
(Texas A&M University, 1999-12)
This thesis explores how humans identify sex (male or female) and judge gender (masculine or feminine) and attractiveness of a computer animated walker. Hip and shoulder movements during the walk cycle and waist-to-hip ...
YOUTUBE, POWERPOINT, AND TUTORS: THE IMPACT OF OUT-OF-CLASS LEARNING OPTIONS ON STUDENT PERFORMANCE
(2010-01-16)
This research project sought to measure how students in large-classroom
environments respond to supplemental, out-of-class learning options. Is their
performance positively impacted by tutoring or by online, always-accessible ...
Flow cytometric evaluation of acrosome function/dysfunction in the stallion
(2009-06-02)
The objective of this study was to establish a rapid and efficient assay
that would assess acrosomal status and function of the stallion acrosome.
Ejaculates from fertile and subfertile stallions were extended to 25x106/mL ...
Simulation of bilinear flow in single matrix block drainage
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This thesis presents modeling of bilinear flow in tight gas wells and its behavior on single matrix block drainage. The objectives of this research are to: simulate a tight gas well using matrix block drainage under constant ...
Dynamic interactions between electricity prices and the regional economy
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
In this thesis we study characterize the dynamic relationships among two electricity
price variables (residential and commercial) and six regional economic variables in order
to examine each individual variable??s role in ...
Determination of applied stresses in rails using the acoustoelastic effect of ultrasonic waves
(2009-05-15)
This research develops a procedure to determine the applied stresses in rails using the acoustoelastic effect of ultrasonic waves. Acoustoelasticity is defined as the stress dependency of ultrasonic wave speed or wave ...
Young drivers and the efficacy of the Texas drug and alcohol driving awareness program
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of the Texas Drug and Alcohol Driving Awareness Program (TDADAP) in relation to alcohol-related offenses among young drivers. Participants in this study were students ...
Assessment of grouts for constructability and durability of post-tensioned bridges
(2010-01-16)
Post-tensioned (PT) bridge technology was first introduced in France in the 1930?s as
described in the post-tensioned concrete bridges: Anglo-French liaison report by
Highway Agency and is widely used in Europe and the US. ...
Simulation of Three-Dimensional Laminar Flow and Heat Transfer in an Array of Parallel Microchannels
(2009-05-15)
Heat transfer and fluid flow are studied numerically for a repeating microchannel
array with water as the circulating fluid. Generalized transport equations are discretized
and solved in three dimensions for velocities, ...
