Texas A&M University at Qatar Undergraduate Catalog 2008-2009, Edition 131Q
(Texas A&M University at Qatar, 2008)
An investigation of a professional development program using industry partnerships and student achievement
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This investigation examined the impact on student achievement of teachers who participated in a professional development program using industry partnerships. One treatment and one non-treatment school in a large urban ...
A simulation study to verify Stone's simultaneous water and gas injection performance in a 5-spot pattern
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Water alternating gas (WAG) injection is a proven technique to enhance oil
recovery. It has been successfully implemented in the field since 1957 with recovery
increase in the range of 5-10% of oil-initially-in-place ...
Ion exchange behavior among metal trisilicates: probing selectivity, structures, and mechanism
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
One model system for the investigation of selectivity in inorganic ion exchangers
is a group of synthetic analogues of the mineral umbite. Hydrothermally synthesized
trisilicates with the general form A2BSi3O9.H2O, where ...
A shader based adaptation of selected sixteenth century maps
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This research develops a technique focused on shading and texturing, with an emphasis on line work and color, to emulate the unique qualities of copperplate line-engraving from 16th century cartography. A visual analysis ...
Whispering gallery modes in quantum dot-embedded dielectric microspheres for tagless remote refractometric sensing
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis presents the development of a refractometric sensor based on
quantum dot-embedded polystyrene microspheres. The technique uses optical
resonances within a microsphere, known as Whispering-Gallery Modes (WGMs), ...
Model minority mothering: biculturalism in action
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This thesis traces the immigration of "model minority" mothers: Chinese,
Japanese, and Korean, from their home countries to the United States. It examines the
reasons women immigrate to the United States, the situations ...
Vegetative covers for sediment control and phosphorus sequestration from dairy waste application fields
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Excessive phosphorus (P) in runoff contributes to eutrophication of fresh water
bodies. Studies have shown that manure and effluent applied from animal feeding
operations to waste application fields (WAFs) have contributed ...
Experimental investigation of in situ upgrading of heavy oil by using a hydrogen donor and catalyst during steam injection
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Experiments were conducted to investigate the feasibility of in situ upgrading of
heavy oil by the use of an orgametallic catalyst and a hydrogen donor (tetralin). The
experiments used a vertical injection cell into which ...
The relationship between small learning communities and student performance as identified by the Academic Excellence Indicator System at Robert E. Lee High School in North East Independent School District, San Antonio, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The purpose of this research was to investigate the relationship of small learning
communities (SLCs) and student performance for ninth grade students at Robert E. Lee
High School in North East Independent School District ...
