Texas Latino knowledge and attitudes toward natural resources and the environment
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Latinos are one of the fastest growing ethnic minority group s in the United
States, and their influence on natural resource allocation and management, especially in
Texas to date, has been largely ignored. For this reason, ...
Inhibition and success of prymnesium parvum invasion on plankton communities in Texas, USA and prymnesium parvum pigment dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Prymnesium parvum Carter, a haptophyte species capable of forming harmful algal blooms (HABs), has been identified in fresh and brackish water habitats worldwide. In Texas, P. parvum blooms have diminished local community ...
On-line optical flow feedback for mobile robot localization/navigation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Open-loop position estimation methods are commonly used in mobile robot applications. Their strength lies in the speed and simplicity with which an estimated position is determined. However, these methods can lead to ...
Using a 3D finite element forward modeling code to analyze resistive structures with controlled-source electromagnetics in a marine environment
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Controlled-Source Electromagnetics (CSEM) is a method that has been used since the 1980s in the marine environment for determining electrical properties of the subsurface. Receivers on the seafloor collect total electric ...
Development of design tool for statically equivalent deepwater mooring systems
(2009-05-15)
Verifying the design of floating structures adequately requires both numerical
simulations and model testing, a combination of which is referred to as the
hybrid method of design verification. The challenge in direct scaling ...
Contemporary Terrorist Organizations and the Threat to Michael Walzer’s Defense of a Supreme Emergency Exemption from Jus in Bello
(2010-10-12)
Michael Walzer has forwarded an argument that defends an exemption from adherence to Jus in Bello when a state finds itself in a situation of "supreme emergency." The argument is morally problematic due to the fact that ...
Comparing the performace of f1 testers versus their inbred line parents in evaluating experimental sorghum b and r lines in testcrosses.
(2009-05-15)
An appropriate tester correctly identifies the relative performance of experimental
lines while maximizing the differences between lines. Most sorghum breeding programs
use elite inbred lines testers. Inbred line testers ...
Nonlinear quantum well photodetectors using frequency up conversion
(2009-05-15)
I describe mid/far-infrared photodetectors based on frequency upconversion in a
near-resonant cascade of interband and intersubband transitions in high optical non-linearity asymmetric quantum well structures. Such structures ...
Pharmacokinetics of albuterol and butorphanol administered intravenously and via a buccal patch
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Conventional routes of drug administration have several disadvantages. The rate and extent of absorption can vary greatly depending on the drug, its formulation, the presence or absence of food, drug interactions, and the ...
Pliocene to recent stratigraphy of the Cuu Long and Nam Con Son Basins, offshore Vietnam
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The Cuu Long and Nam Con Basins, offshore Vietnam, contain sediment dispersal systems, from up-dip fluvial environments to down-dip deep-water slope and basinal environments that operated along the southern continental ...
