In vitro growth of immature peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batsch] embryos as related to carbohydrate source and pH
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Carbohydrate source and pH of peach embryo culture media affect embryo growth and survival. The objectives of this study were to 1) determine the effect of five carbohydrates (fructose, glucose, maltose, sorbitol, and ...
An on-line human signature verification system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A study on human signature verification is presented. A literature survey of current and past methodologies for on-line signature verification is followed by a new approach to the problem of on-line signature verification. ...
The Lake Champlain sailing canal boat
(2000-08)
The nineteenth century witnessed profound developments in North American inland vessel construction. The story of the steamboat is familiar, but other vessels have not received adequate attention. In particular, canal boats ...
Formation damage studies of lubricants used with drill-in fluids systems on horizontal open-hole wells
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Tests were conducted to evaluate the effect of lubricants in formation damage. Two types of lubricants were tested along with two types of drill-in fluids. The DIF's tested included a sized-calcium carbonate (SCC) and a ...
Study of distributed Fair Scheduling in wireless local area networks
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A Fair Scheduling policy is required to support differentiated QoS requirements of contending flows in a wireless channel. This thesis presents a study of the Distributed Fair Scheduling (DFS) algorithm proposed for wireless ...
Economic viability of rangeland based ranching enterprises
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Ranch management's ability to cope with climate variability, especially drought, critically impacts the economic viability of rangeland based ranching enterprise alternatives. In rangeland ecosystems, drought is not ...
Vibration suppression of laminated composite plates using embedded smart material layers
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this study, a complete theoretical formulation of laminated composite plates with integrated smart material layers that serve as sensors and/or actuators is presented for the vibration suppression of laminated composite ...
The viscoelastic properties of linear-star blends
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In order to understand the nature of polydispersity and characterize the effect of branching architecture, the model blend of linear and star polymer, which is the simplest branched polymer, is contrived. In this blend ...
Vertical composition gradient effects on original hydrocarbon in place volumes and liquid recovery for volatile oil and gas condensate reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Around the world, volatile oil and retrograde gas reservoirs are considered as complex thermodynamic systems and even more when they exhibit vertical composition variations. Those systems must be characterized by an equation ...
The effect of competition by chloride and sulfate anions on the adsorption of arsenate ion onto activated alumina
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Interactions of arsenate ions with sulfate and chloride anions in aqueous solutions containing various amounts of activated alumina were studied in the laboratory on a batch mode basis with the goal of understanding the ...
