Transport synthetic acceleration methods for one-dimensional deterministic transport problems
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
We construct and analyze three transport synthetic acceleration schemes. Our goal is the development of a rapidly convergent acceleration scheme that is robust and computationally efficient even for thick, diffusive ...
Identification of dominant antigens recognized by sera of sheep and mice experimentally infected with Coxiella burnetii
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Q fever is a disease caused by the rickettsial organism Coxiella burnetii that affects mostly humans, cattle, sheep, and goats. Little is known about the epitopes of the organism that are recognized by the host after ...
Testosterone and 5HIAA in dogs with intraspecific aggression
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Intraspecific aggression is a common problem in dogs, with such aggression typically due to dominance, fear, and/or territoriality. Some dogs appear to perceive the mere presence of another dog as a challenge or threat. ...
INAA and distribution patterns of Classic Mimbres Black-on-white vessels during the Classic period
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Distribution patterns of Classic Mimbres Black-on-white (Style III) bowls and jars were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) to identify vessel movement between geographically defined regions and ...
The feasibility of ethanol production in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Agricultural interests across Texas are looking at the possibility of an ethanol industry in Texas. Continued conflict in the Middle East, the ban of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in California, and low commodity ...
What has Chihara's mathematical nominalism gained over mathematical realism?
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The indispensability argument, which claims that science requires beliefs in mathematical entities, gives a strong motivation for mathematical realism. However, mathematical realism bears Benacerrafian ontological and ...
In-between Southerners: European immigrants and racial violence in Brazos County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Five black men died in Brazos County, Texas, in a series of violent racial incidents in 1896, 1897, and 1900-01. At first glance, nothing seemed exceptional about their deaths. The causes were unremarkable: each of the ...
Method for the assessment of airborne off-target pesticide spray concentrations due to aircraft wing-tip vortex
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a method for assessing airborne concentrations caused by off-target pesticide drift. Concentrations are bounded by the worst credible circumstances within a normal aircraft pesticide ...
High pressure testing of see-through labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Detailed results are presented for teeth-on-stator labyrinth seals tested under high pressure of 70 bar-a (1015 psi-a) and 52 bar-a (754 psi-a) in the centered position. The seals were tested at pressure ratios of 0.52, ...
Production of high voltage by ion bombardment
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A beam of He+ ions was used to bombard a conductive target, allowing the target to build up a voltage. The voltage that built up on the target was measured by using a voltage divider circuit. The target was made out of ...
