The effects of palmar feedback in 200mm Reticle Standard Mechanical Interface (SMIF) Pod handles with respect to hand pressure distribution and user preference
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The primary objective of this study was to determine the preferred 200mm Reticle Standard Mechanical Interface (SMIF) Pod handle when comparing a handle with palmar feedback and a handle without palmar feedback. Objectively, ...
Seismic interpretation of hydrocarbon seep features, Garden Banks, Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this study was to interpret and characterize hydrocarbon seeps using a 3D seismic data set. The information gained from this interpretation was then used to develop an understanding of the processes that ...
Requirements for a common GUI architecture for ultrasound applications
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Different kinds of ultrasound equipment exist in the market today. But none of these offer features like interoperability and portability that is of very high importance (in certain situations like on the battlefield). It ...
Soil phosphorus status and fertilizer use in select agricutural soils in Nicaragua
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A survey of small, medium and large Nicaraguan producers indicated a heavy reliance on imported complete fertilizer. Analysis of soils sampled from the large-scale commercial producers found low P retention in the lowland ...
A pulsed electromagnet controller for prepolarized MRI
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a popular medical imaging modality that provides high resolution images with superior contrast. Conventional MRI systems rely on large magnets to generate the main magnetic field, B₀, ...
Use of neural networks to correlate enzymatic hydrolysis with biomass properties
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A neural network was used to correlate enzymatic digestibility with the following biomass properties: lignin content, acetyl content, and crystallinity index (CrI). The neural network model was not able to improve a ...
Economic viability of a commingled/backgrounded cattle sale
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Focusing on the increasing emphasis of value added to the beef industry, and the many different techniques being suggested, an economic investigation into the merits of such marginal programs is warranted. One such attempt ...
Stridulatory organ morphology, acoustics, and function in the red imported fire ant
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this research was to determine whether stridulation in the red imported fire ant (RIFA) serves a significant communicative function. Three general objectives were developed. 1) Characterize the stridulatory ...
Effects of hydrodynamic coefficients on the global motion characteristics of spar structures
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
A number of studies have already discussed the influence of various nonlinear effects on the response of a spar and the variation of the results with different approaches. In this work, the effects of the values of the ...
Mental mapping abilities in domestic swine
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The presence of the mental mapping abilities, documented in animals such as chimpanzees, squirrels, and birds, was investigated in domestic pigs. Sixteen young, weanling, Landrace x Yorkshire crossbred pigs were selected ...
