Analysis of WACSIS data using a directional hybrid wave model
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This study focuses on the analysis of measured directional seas using a nonlinear model,
named Directional Hybrid Wave Model (DHWM). The model has the capability of
decomposing the directional wave field into its free wave ...
The relationship between reading comprehension skill assessment methods and academic success for first semester students in a selected Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This retrospective descriptive study addressed the relationship between reading
comprehension skills as measured by the Nelson-Denny Reading Test and the Nurse
Entrance Test and indices of academic success (i.e., grade ...
Improving network routing performance in dynamic environments
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this dissertation, we study methods for improving the routing performance
of computer communication networks in dynamic environments. The dynamic environments
we considered in this work include both network topology ...
Evaluation of the relationship between animal temperament and stress responsiveness to M. longissimus lumborum tenderness in feedlot cattle
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Temperament effects on meat quality were investigated using three contemporary
groups consisting of Bonsmara-sired yearling-fed (n = 31), Angus-sired calf-fed (n =
49), and Angus-sired yearling-fed (n = 48) steers. To ...
Aquitard control of stream-aquifer interaction and flow to a horizontal well in coastal aquifers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation is composed of three parts of major contributions: In Chapter II, we developed a new conceptual model and derived a new semi-analytical model for flow to a horizontal well beneath a water reservoir. Instead ...
Robustness measures for signal detection in non-stationary noise using differential geometric tools
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
We propose the study of robustness measures for signal detection in non-stationary
noise using differential geometric tools in conjunction with empirical distribution analysis.
Our approach shows that the gradient can be ...
Assessment of the canine intestinal microflora using molecular methods and serum markers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Previous studies examining the canine intestinal microflora have focused on
cultivation of bacteria from intestinal content. Recently, it has been recognized that the
majority of bacteria cannot be identified using standard ...
Thunderstorm lightning and radar characteristics: insights on electrification and severe weather forecasting
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Total lightning mapping, along with radar and NLDN cloud-to-ground lightning
data, can be used to diagnose the severity of a storm. Analysis of the 13 October 2001
supercell event (Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas), some supercells ...
Systematics of cross sections for target K-vacancy production in heavy ion collisions
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Cross sections for K-shell ionization by heavy ions have been determined from the
measurements of target K x-ray yields. The measurements were performed with Ar, Kr,
and Xe ions at energies from 2.5 to 25 MeV/amu and ...
Rhizomatous motivational aspects of Hispanic/Latino students in regular high school programs
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
As mathematics teachers gain knowledge of what factors students perceive as motivating, they will be able to create a classroom environment that better increases motivation. Thus, the information gathered from this study ...
