Thermal and lighting performance of toplighting systems in the hot and humid climate of Thailand
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This study evaluated the potential of toplighting systems in the hot and humid tropics by using Bangkok, Thailand (latitude 13.7ðN) as a test location. The analysis tested both the thermal and lighting performance of ...
Improved steamflood analytical model
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The Jeff Jones steamflood model incorporates oil displacement by steam as described by
Myhill and Stegemeier, and a three-component capture factor based on empirical
correlations. The main drawback of the model however is ...
Sensitivity analysis of modeling parameters that affect the dual peaking behaviour in coalbed methane reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Coalbed methane reservoir (CBM) performance is controlled by a complex set of
reservoir, geologic, completion and operational parameters and the inter-relationships
between those parameters. Therefore in order to understand ...
Facies architecture of the upper Calvert Bluff Formation exposed in the highwall of Big Brown Mine, Fairfield, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The facies architecture and geometry of stratigraphic surfaces within a lignite
bearing interval of the Paleocene upper Calvert Bluff Formation is mapped on a
photomosaic of the 150 ft (50 m) high and 12,000 ft (4km) long ...
The time course of discourse priming in the interpretation of conceptual combinations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
People often create novel lexical expressions to efficiently communicate their
thoughts to others. Noun-noun phrases, also known as conceptual
combinations, serve as an example of these novel expressions. Most of the
research ...
The effects of inlet velocity and barrel diameter on cyclone performance
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Cyclone separators are widely used in agricultural processing industries as air
pollution abatement devices. The performance of cyclones is a function of the geometry
of the cyclone, operating parameters, and the particle ...
Deep-tow study of magnetic anomalies in the Pacific Jurassic Quiet Zone
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The Jurassic Quiet Zone (JQZ) is a region of low amplitude, difficult-to-correlate magnetic anomalies located over Jurassic oceanic crust. We collected 1200 km of new deep-tow magnetic anomaly profiles over the Pacific JQZ ...
Improving liquid chemical intervention methods to control pathogens on fresh-cut fruits and vegetables
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Factors that affect liquid chemical intervention methods of controlling pathogens
on fresh-cut produce were investigated. The relationship between produce tissue
structure (intercellular space, cell size, and cell distribution) ...
Cholesterol lowering effects of bovine serum immunoglobulin in human participants with mild hypercholesterolemia
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Interestingly, the consumption of dairy products, namely milk, has been shown to lower
cholesterol. The mechanism of action surrounding this ...
Configuration adjustment potential of the Very High Temperature Reactor prismatic cores with advanced actinide fuels
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Minor actinides represent the long-term radiotoxicity of nuclear wastes. As one
of their potential incineration options, partitioning and transmutation in fission reactors
are seriously considered worldwide. If implemented, ...
