Cosmology and gravity in the brane world
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The cosmology in the Hubble expansion era of the Horava-Witten M-theory
compactified on a Calabi-Yau threefold is studied in the reduction to five-dimensions
where the effects of the Calabi-Yau manifold are summarized by ...
Two essays on monetary policy under the Taylor rule
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
In this dissertation, two questions concerning monetary policy under the Taylor rule have been addressed. The first question is on, under the Taylor rule, whether a central bank should be responsible for both bank ...
Aspect ratio effect on heat transfer in rotating two-pass rectangular channels with smooth walls and ribbed walls
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This study experimentally investigates the effects of rotation, the buoyancy force,
and the channel aspect ratio on heat transfer in two-pass rotating rectangular channels.
The experiments are conducted with two surface ...
Nonlinear and distributed sensory estimation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Methods to improve performance of sensors with regard to sensor nonlinearity, sensor noise and sensor bandwidths are investigated and new algorithms are developed. The necessity of the proposed research has evolved from ...
Interactive eshopping experience: an empirical investigation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Utilizing an experimental design, the study investigates the effects of eshopping behavior (experiential, utilitarian, or mixed) and interactivity level (low or high) on the consequences of eshopping (site attitude and ...
Multi-area network analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
After the deregulation of the power systems, the large-scale power systems may contain
several areas. Each area has its own control center and each control center may have its
own state estimator which processes the ...
Domain analysis for estrogen receptor/Sp1-mediated transactivation and detection of estrogen receptor/Sp1 protein interactions in living cells
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Estrogen Receptor ? (ER?)/Sp1 activation of GC-rich gene promoters in breast cancer cells is dependent, in part, on the activation function 1 (AF1) of ER?. This study investigates contributions of the DNA binding domain ...
Charmonium absorption and charmed hadron production in hadronic reactions
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A gauged SU(4) flavor symmetric hadronic Lagrangian with empirical hadron masses is constructed to study charmonium absorption and charmed hadron production in hadronic reactions. For the coupling constants, empirical ...
Real-time analysis of aggregate network traffic for anomaly detection
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The frequent and large-scale network attacks have led to an increased need for
developing techniques for analyzing network traffic. If efficient analysis tools were
available, it could become possible to detect the attacks, ...
Rotordynamic force coefficients of pocket damper seals
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The present work describes experiments conducted on several pocket damper seal
(PDS) designs using a high pressure annular gas seal test rig. Both rotating and non-rotating
tests were conducted for a 12, 8, and 6 bladed ...
