Comparative Cost Analysis of Alternative Animal Tracing Strategies Directed Toward Foot and Mouth Disease Outbreaks in the Texas High Plains
(2010-07-14)
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the industry impact of a
hypothetical Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak in the Texas High Plains using
alternative animal tracing levels. To accomplish this objective, ...
Chemopreventive Potential of Sorghum with Different Phenolic Profiles
(2010-07-14)
Epidemiological evidence has correlated consumption of sorghum with reduced
incidences of gastrointestinal (GI) tract cancer, especially esophageal cancer. There is
little evidence on how phenols of sorghum may affect ...
Investigation Of The Friction Factor Behavior for Flat Plate Tests Of Smooth And Roughened Surfaces With Supply Pressures Up To 84 Bars
(2010-10-12)
Annular gas seal clearances were simulated with closely spaced parallel plates
using a Flat?Plate tester. The device is designed to measure the pressure gradient along
the test specimen. The main function of the Flat?Plate ...
Correlations Among Gender, Career Interests, Conservation Issues, And Curriculum Choice By Students In Wildlife And Fisheries Sciences At Texas A&M University From 2000 To 2008
(2010-10-12)
It is important to develop and assess student learning outcomes in order to
determine whether academic department goals and standards are being reached. One
aspect of this process involves alignment of learning outcomes ...
Nondestructive Testing of Overhead Transmission Lines: Numerical and Experimental Investigation
(2011-02-22)
Overhead transmission lines are periodically inspected using both on-ground and helicopter-aided visual inspection. Factors including sun glare, cloud cover, close proximity to power lines and the rapidly changing visual ...
Analysis of No-Flow Boundaries in Mixed Unconfined-Confined Aquifer Systems
(2010-07-14)
As human population increases, demand for water supplies will cause an increase in pumping rates from confined aquifers which may become unconfined after long-term pumping. Such an unconfined-confined conversion problem ...
Overpressure prediction by mean total stress estimate using well logs for compressional environments with strike-slip or reverse faulting stress state
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Predicting correct pore-pressure is important for drilling applications. Wellbore stability
problems, kicks, or even blow-outs can be avoided with a good estimate of porepressure.
Conventional pore-pressure estimation ...
Robust Optimization of Nanometer SRAM Designs
(2011-02-22)
Technology scaling has been the most obvious choice of designers and chip
manufacturing companies to improve the performance of analog and digital circuits.
With the ever shrinking technological node, process variations ...
Effect of Omega 3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) on Markers of Inflammation in Young Horses in Training
(2011-02-22)
Sixteen horses (2 to 4 yr; 357 to 439 kg BW) were utilized in a randomized complete block design for a 140 d trial to determine effect of omega 3 PUFAs (n-3) supplementation on markers of inflammation in young horses in ...
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide (NO) with ammonia over vanadia-based and pillared interlayer clay-based catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide (NO) with ammonia over vanadia-based (V2O5-WO3/TiO2) and pillared interlayer clay-based (V2O5/Ti-PILC) monolithic honeycomb catalysts using a laboratory laminar-flow ...
