African American citizen soldiers in Galveston and San Antonio, Texas, 1880-1906
(2009-05-15)
The Texas Volunteer Guard, created by the Militia Law of 1879, continued to
allow African Americans to serve as citizen soldiers. From 1880 to 1906 over six
hundred black men faithfully served in the various state militia ...
A p-cell approach to integer gate sizing
(2009-05-15)
Standard-Cell-library-based design
ow is widely followed in the Application Specific
Integrated Circuit(ASIC) industry. Most of the realistic cell libraries are geometrically
spaced introducing significant sparseness in ...
Defect analysis using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy
(2009-05-15)
This thesis demonstrates the practicability of using Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS) in combination with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to determine the size and location of a defect in a material of known geometry ...
Monomethylmercury concentrations on the eastern Texas-Louisiana shelf during the formation, peak, and disappearance of hypoxia
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
A study of monomethylmercury (MMHg) concentrations in the water and sediment of
the hypoxic zone in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico was conducted on several cruises
between April 2004 and May 2005. Surface water MMHg ...
Ambient pH signaling influences phosphate transport in Neurospora crassa
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In the course of our efforts to resolve Pi transport mechanisms in the model fungus
Neurospora crassa we identified a null mutant, par-1, that displays enhanced Pi
transport activity specifically under alkaline growth ...
The aesthetic principles of soundscape in architectural design and built environment
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis is an attempt to establish a practical way for architectural designers to take advantage of the relationship between soundscape and architectural aesthetics. The whole study aides in providing a structural ...
Autonomous robotic wheelchair with collision-avoidance navigation
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The objective of this research is to demonstrate a robotic wheelchair moving in an
unknown environment with collision-avoidance navigation. A real-time path-planning
algorithm was implemented by detecting the range to ...
Design of high speed low voltage data converters for UWB communication systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
For A/D converters in ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems, the flash
A/D type is commonly used because of its fast speed and simple architecture. However,
the number of comparators in a flash A/D converter exponentially ...
Analysis, comparison and modification of various Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) algorithms
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A program based on particle tracking velocimetry (PTV) was developed in this work. The
program was successfully validated by means of artificial images where parameters such as radius,
concentration, and noise were varied ...
Remote sensing for site-specific management of biotic and abiotic stress in cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study evaluated the applicability of remote sensing instrumentation for site- specific management of abiotic and biotic stress on cotton grown under a center pivot. Three different irrigation regimes (100%, 75%, and ...
