Optical absorption of pure water in the blue and ultraviolet
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The key feature of the Integrating Cavity Absorption Meter (ICAM) is that it produces an
isotropic illumination of the liquid sample and thereby dramatically minimizes scattering
effects. The ICAM can produce ...
Bayesian methods in bioinformatics
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This work is directed towards developing flexible Bayesian statistical methods
in the semi- and nonparamteric regression modeling framework with special focus on
analyzing data from biological and genetic experiments. This ...
Recovery and evaluation of the solid products produced by thermocatalytic decomposition of tire rubber compounds
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A thermal catalytic decomposition process has been developed to recycle used tire rubber. This process enables the recovery of useful products, such as hydrocarbons and carbon blacks. During the catalytic decomposition ...
Novel visualization and algebraic techniques for sustainable development through property integration
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The process industries are characterized by the significant consumption of fresh
resources. This is a critical issue, which calls for an effective strategy towards more
sustainable operations. One approach that favors ...
The relationship of male socialization and personality pathology in male batterer subtypes
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This study examined the role that rigid sex-role stereotyping and male
socialization played in differentiating the three typologies of male batterers. The first
purpose was to utilize a cluster analysis to determine whether ...
Model reduction of systems exhibiting two-time scale behavior or parametric uncertainty
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Model reduction is motivated by the fact that complex process models may pre-
vent the application of model-based process control. While extensive research on
model reduction has been done in the past few decades, model ...
Seal inlet disturbance boundary conditions for rotordynamic models and influence of some off-design conditions on labyrinth rotordynamic instability
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Systematic parametric studies were performed to better understand seal-inlet rotordynamics.
A CFD-perturbation model was employed to compute the seal-inlet flow
disturbance quantities. Seal inlet disturbance boundary ...
Small-world characteristics in geographic, epidemic, and virtual spaces : a comparative study
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation focuses on a comparative study of small-world characteristics in
geographical, epidemic, and virtual spaces. Small-world network is the major
component of the âÂÂnew science of networksâ that ...
Rational design of organophosphorus hydrolase for the degradation and detection of neurotoxic pesticides and chemical warfare agents
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
It is critical to consider the balance between the catalytic capabilities of an enzyme and the inherent structural stability of the protein when developing enzymes for specific applications. Rational site directed mutagenesis ...
Development of prototype guidelines for risk management against terror attack in the tourism industry: a Delphi study
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The purpose of the study was to gather strategies and factors from tourism security professionals from which terrorism risk management policies can be developed. This study utilized the Delphi method in order to provide ...
