Fiber optic intrusion sensor investigation
(1994)
A novel type of fiber optic intrusion sensor has been proposed and investigated theoretically and experimentally. The sensor is configured as a coherent optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with a highly coherent laser ...
Incorporation of line quantities in the continuum description for multiphase, multicomponent bodies
(1994)
In this thesis the continuum description for dynamic, multiphase, multicomponent systems with intersecting dividing surfaces, is developed. In this development, the contribution of line excess quantities (line mass density, ...
Mixed-signal processor for a Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor
(1994)
This dissertation presents the design and implementation of a novel mixed-signal processing method for recovering the pressure information obtained from a fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor. The sensor is ...
Rapid simulation of multiphase flow in heterogeneous reservoirs using 3D streamlines
(1997)
Geostatistical techniques generate fine-scale reservoir description that integrates data from cores, logs, and seismic traces. However, predicting dynamic behavior of fluid flow through multiple fine-scale realizations has ...
Modeling laminates using a layerwise finite element with enhanced strains for interlaminar stress recovery and delamination characteristics
(1997)
A layerwise finite element with enhanced strains is developed for the analysis of laminates with special emphasis on the recovery of interlaminar stresses and the study of delamination characteristics. A laminate interface, ...
Cold tolerance and thermal acclimation of juvenile blue tilapia, Tilapia aurea
(1995)
Cold resistance of blue tilapia (Tilapia aurea) was measured as the first step in development of a simulation model to predict acclimation state and mortality of tilapia exposed to varying low temperature. The model is ...
Securities underwriting by commercial banks : an analysis of Section 20 subsidiaries
(1995)
This study examines the wealth and risk changes of commercial banks following regulatory changes related to securities underwriting. Commercials banks were allowed to underwrite securities to a limited extent by a Federal ...
Bovine bacterial artificial chromosomes as tools for genetic and physical mapping
(1995)
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library has been constructed for use in bovine genome mapping using the pBeloBAC II vector. Currently, the library consists of 23,040 clones which achieves a 70% probability (P=0.70) ...
Effects of supplemental rumen stable methionine and lysine on growing calves grazing bermudagrass or ryegrass pastures
(1995)
A series of four experiments were conducted to assess the effects of supplemental amino acids on animal performance and forage utilization. European crossbred yearling steers (Exp. 1) and Brahman crossbred heifers (Exp. ...
Predictors of response to treatment for suicidal behavior
(1995)
Military personnel who had exhibited serious suicidal behavior participated in a controlled study to investigate the effects of an intensive cognitive behavioral, problem-solving treatment intervention administered in a ...
