An evaluation of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test at a .08 blood alcohol concentration for the State of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This study investigated the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) predictions of above or
below the .08 per se level by Texas peace officers in the field based on the scoring of the National Highway Traffic Safety ...
Trade, piracy, and naval warfare in the central Mediterranean: the maritime history and archaeology of Malta
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Located approximately in the middle of the central Mediterranean channel, the Maltese Archipelago was touched by the historical events that effected the political, economic and cultural environment of Europe, North Africa, ...
Safety assured financial evaluation of maintenance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Management decisions in complex industrial facilities usually consider both the economic and environmental aspects of the plant's performance. For nuclear power plants (NPPs), safety is also a very substantial issue. The ...
Defining and determining the impact of a freshman engineering student's approach to learning (surface versus deep)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
When an engineering student attends four or five years of college to become a professional engineer one makes the assumption that they approach this learning process in such a way to gain the most knowledge possible. The ...
Relationships between student achievement and levels of computer technology integration by Texas agriscience teachers
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The purpose of this study was to determine if agriscience teacher integration of instructional technology was related to student achievement. Knowledge of these correlations will assist teacher educators in offering more ...
A motion planning approach to protein folding
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Protein folding is considered to be one of the grand challenge problems in biology. Protein folding refers to how a protein's amino acid sequence, under certain physiological conditions, folds into a stable close-packed ...
Optimal shape design for a layered periodic structure
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A multi-layered periodic structure is investigated
for optimal shape design in diffraction gratings. A periodic dielectric material is used as the scattering profile for a planar incident wave.
Designing optimal ...
Modeling defective part level due to static and dynamic defects based upon site observation and excitation balance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Manufacture testing of digital integrated circuits is essential for high quality. However, exhaustive testing is impractical, and only a small subset of all possible test patterns (or test pattern pairs) may be applied. ...
The monitoring and multiplexing of fiber optic sensors using chirped laser sources
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A wide band linearly chirped erbium-doped fiber laser has been developed. The erbium-doped fiber laser using a rotating mirror/grating combination as one of the reflectors in a Fabry-Perot laser cavity has been tuned over ...
Microstructural viscoplastic continuum model for asphalt concrete
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation presents the development of an anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model to describe the permanent deformation of asphalt pavements. The model is developed to account for several phenomena that ...
