Effect of droplet size on the behavior and characteristics of emulsified acid
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Emulsified acids have been extensively used in the oil industry since 1933. Most
of the available research and publications discussed mainly the application of emulsified
acid in the field. A fair number of the published ...
Particle flux transformation in the mesopelagic water column: process analysis and global balance
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Marine aggregates are an important means of carbon transfers downwards to the deep ocean as well as an important nutritional source for benthic organism communities that are the ultimate recipients of the flux. During these ...
Detection of bacterial endospores by means of ultrafast coherent raman spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This work is devoted to formulation and development of a laser spectroscopic technique
for rapid detection of biohazards, such as Bacillus anthracis spores. Coherent anti-Stokes
Raman scattering (CARS) is used as an ...
Fission-fusion sociality in dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus), with comparisons to other dolphins and great apes
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
I examined fission-fusion sociality in dusky dolphins (Lagenorhynchus obscurus), and investigated aspects of social convergence between dolphins and great apes. I used boat-based group focal follows and photo-identification ...
Crew resource management training's effect on railroad crews' perceptions of task interdependence and teamwork
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The accuracy and similarity of team members' perceptions regarding the
interdependencies of their task as well as the criticality of teamwork behaviors is
essential to team performance. Unfortunately, these perceptions ...
Mechanical characterisation and structural analysis of normal and remodeled cardiovascular soft tissue
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Characterization of multiaxial mechanical properties of cardiovascular soft tissue
is essential in order to better understand their growth and remodeling in homeostatic
conditions and in response to injury or pathological ...
Shape memory alloy for vibration isolation and damping
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This work investigates the use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) for vibration isolation
and damping of mechanical systems. The first part of this work evaluates the nonlinear
dynamics of a passive vibration isolation and ...
Constitutive modeling for biodegradable polymers for application in endovascular stents
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting stent
implantation has been of great benefit in coronary applications, whereas in peripheral
applications, success rates remain low. Analysis of healing ...
Performance analysis and network path characterization for scalable internet streaming
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Delivering high-quality of video to end users over the best-effort Internet is a
challenging task since quality of streaming video is highly subject to network conditions. A fundamental issue in this area is how real-time ...
Progesterone regulation of endometrial factors supporting conceptus growth and development in the ovine uterus
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Progesterone is unequivocally required for the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in all mammals studied. Its known functions are complex and encompass global changes in gene expression. Therefore, studies were ...
