Linear analysis of surface temperature dynamics and climate sensitivity
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Spectral properties of global surface temperature and uncertainties of global climate sensitivity are explored in this work through the medium of Energy Balance Climate Models (EBCMs) and observational surface temperature ...
The use of Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for biomedical applications
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Recent advances in nanotechnology and the biotechnology revolution have
created an immense opportunity for the use of noble metal nanoparticles as Surface
Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) substrates for biological sensing ...
Pesticides and amphibian declines in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla) hatchlings were translocated and placed in cages in sites (~2,200 m elevation) located in Lassen, Yosemite, and Sequoia National Parks. DDE was found in 97% of Yosemite National ...
Genetic diversity and combining ability among sorghum conversion lines
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L] Moench) was first introduced to the United States
in the 1800s. These introductions consisted of tropical varieties with a short day
photoperiod response that limited their use in temperate ...
Study on spatio-temporal properties of rainfall
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation describes spatio-temporal properties of rainfall. Rainfall in space was
modeled by a precipitation areal reduction factor (ARF) using a NEXRAD image. The storms
are represented as ellipses, which are ...
Effects of operating damage of labyrinth seal on seal leakage and wheelspace hot gas ingress
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The labyrinth seal is widely used in turbomachinery to minimize or control
leakage between areas of different pressure. The present investigation numerically
explored the effect of damage and wear of the labyrinth seal on ...
A conceptual model to estimate the nitrogen requirement of corn (Zea mays L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The objectives of this work were to evaluate the vegetative parameters used to estimate crop N demand and to estimate the accuracy and precision of the conceptual model of fertilization using an error propagation method. ...
High performance RF and baseband building blocks for wireless receivers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Because of the unique architecture of wireless receivers, a designer must
understand both the high frequency aspects as well as the low-frequency analog
considerations for different building blocks of the receiver. The ...
Mechanism design for distributed task and resource allocation among self-interested agents in virtual organizations
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The aggregate power of all resources on the Internet is enormous. The Internet can
be viewed as a massive virtual organization that holds tremendous amounts of information
and resources with different ownerships. However, ...
Reconstruction and attributes of jets observed in (square root of s) = 200 GeV proton-proton and deuteron-gold collisions at STAR
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The STAR collaboration recorded s =200 GeV per nucleon d+Au and p+p
collision events during the year 2003 RHIC run. In the p+p and the d+Au data samples, it
is possible to reconstruct jets and make comparisons between them. ...
