Influences of vegetation characteristics and invertebrate abundance of Rio Grande wild turkey populations, Edwards Plateau, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Since 1970, Rio Grande wild turkey (Meleagris gallapavo intermedia) numbers in the southern region of the Edwards Plateau of Texas have been declining. Nest-site characteristics and invertebrate abundance were hypothesized ...
The Vogelbarke of Medinet Habu
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The Sea Peoples are generally assumed to be a loose confederation of clans that first appeared in the historical record in the 14th century B.C.E. Over a century of scholarship has puzzled over whether they were responsible ...
Two algorithms for leader election and network size estimation in mobile ad hoc networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
We develop two algorithms for important problems in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). A MANET is a collection of mobile processors (nodes) which communicate via message passing over wireless links. Each node can communicate ...
Mating flight initiation and nutritional status of Solenopsis invicta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) alates infected with Thelohania solenopsae (Microsporida: Thelohaniidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Thelohania solenopsae Knell, Allen and Hazard, is a microsporidian pathogen that infects the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta Buren. This four part study examined the effects that T. solenopsae had on fire ant ...
Tunable erbium-doped fiber ring laser using an intra-cavity filter
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Linear tuning the frequency of an erbium-doped fiber ring laser using both a Fabry-Perot filter and an electro-optic tunable filter has been experimentally demonstrated. The rate of frequency change is determined by ...
Landowner survey of a cost-share brush management program in two Texas watersheds
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
With the expanding population of Texas and the resulting increase in demand for water, the scarcity of water is becoming an increasingly urgent issue and research is being conducted to find ways to improve water yield, the ...
Opening the closed shop: the Galveston Longshoremen's Strike, 1920-1921
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Beginning in March of 1920, the Galveston coastwise longshoremens strike against the Morgan-Southern Pacific and Mallory steamship lines was a pivotal moment in the history of organized labor in Texas. Local and statewide ...
Cooperative self-localization in a multi-robot-no-landmark scenario using fuzzy logic
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this thesis, we develop a method using fuzzy logic to do cooperative localization. In a group of robots, at a given instant, each robot gives crisp pose estimates for all the other robots. These crisp pose values are ...
Evaluation of high strength concrete prestressed bridge girder design
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This research study focuses on evaluating the design of HSC prestressed bridge
girders. Specifically there were three major objectives. First, to determine the current state of practice for the design of HSC prestressed ...
Discovering relationships in genetic regulatory networks
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The development of cDNA microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously monitor the expression status of thousands of genes. A natural use for this vast amount of information would be to try and figure ...
