Modeling and simulation of stable human locomotion using five degree-of-freedom gait model
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Human locomotion involves a highly sophisticated and complex locomotive system. In order to understand how models of such system are built, it is useful to consider the meaning and implication of modeling and simulation ...
Recolonization of surface-mined lands by pocket gophers (Geomys breviceps) in East Texas Post Oak Savannah
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Surface mining involves the use of heavy equipment that would theoretically create underground vibrations sensed by pocket gophers. To determine if vibrations cause pocket gopher movement away from areas being mined, ...
Analysis of the dynamics of saturation and pressure close to the wellbore for condensate reservoirs as a tool to optimize liquid production
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Gas condensate reservoirs often exhibit a rapid decline in production with depletion. During early production, liquid dropout accumulates in the near wellbore area and this liquid dropout reduces the effective permeability ...
Design considerations for band-pass sigma-delta modulators
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Traditionally, the design of band-pass sigma-delta modulators is composed of two steps, the first at the system level and the second at the transistor level. The transition from the system level to the transistor level ...
Development of a neural network model for the prediction of liquid holdup in two-phase horizontal flow
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Accurate prediction of liquid holdup associated with multiphase flow is a critical element in the design and operation of modern production systems. This prediction is complicated by the complexity in the distribution of ...
Is degradation of the herbicide atrazine enhanced in turfgrass pond sediments
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
To further understand the fate of atrazine, a herbicide of public concern in the environment, this study was undertaken to determine if atrazine degradation potential is increased in turfgrass ponds having a history of ...
Experimental determination of dynamic force coefficients of a pocket damper seal at higher frequencies
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Experimental results are presented for a two-bladed pocket damper seal (PDS) with eight partition walls on a high-speed test rig. The objective of these experiments is to measure damping coefficients, stiffness coefficients ...
Review and validation of exposure assessment methods
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this research is twofold, to standardize and to validate exposure assessment methods. First, the attempt is made to standardize the manner in which exposure assessment methods are developed. Literature on ...
Temperature calibration of Gulf of Mexico corals
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
High-resolution proxy records of climate are limited and have poor coverage of the tropical ocean-atmosphere system. One particular area in which climate records are lacking is the northern Gulf of Mexico. Four coral cores ...
Analysis of three-dimensional frames using shear-locking free beam elements based on the third-order shear-deformation theory
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In the present research, space frames are studied by incorporating shear-locking-free beam finite element based on the third-order shear deformation theory. Currently, the beam element used in the analysis of frames is ...
