A case study of cost overruns in a Thai condominium project
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Construction managers confront many problems. Still, this industry plays a vital role in the
healthy growth of the economy of many countries throughout the developed and developing
world. Effective management of construction ...
Genetic and dietary effects on the physical properties, assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The physical properties (i.e., mass, particle diameter and composition) of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins (apoB-LP) are a major determinant of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. The ...
High temperature oxidation and NaCl-induced accelerated corrosion of hot-dip aluminized 9Cr-1Mo and 310 stainless steel
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The behaviors of high temperature corrosion on hot-dip aluminized on 9Cr-1Mo and 310 stainless steels when catalyzed by NaCl and cyclic heating environment were studied experimentally. The corrosion behavior and morphological ...
Historic building documentation in the united states, 1933-2000: the historic american buildings survey, a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The objective of the study was to gain new insight into archival building documentation
in the United States since 1933 focusing on Historic American Buildings Survey
(HABS) as a case study. It sought to help explain how ...
Analysis of the principal's perceptions of the implementation and impact of the accelerated reader and other selected reading strategies used by Texas gold performance elementary schools
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Knowledge of the implementation practices of successful elementary schools will
be beneficial to other elementary principals who seek to improve student success in
reading. This study examined perceptions of principals ...
Investigation of surface inhomogeneity and estimation of the GOES skin temperature assimilation errors of the MM5 implied by the inhomogeneity over Houston metropolitan area
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study developed a parameterization method to investigate the impacts of inhomogeneous land surfaces on mesoscale model simulations using a high-resolution 1-d PBL model. Then, the 1-d PBL model was used to investigate ...
Measurement calibration/tuning & topology processing in power system state estimation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
State estimation plays an important role in modern power systems. The errors in the telemetered measurements and the connectivity information of the network will greatly contaminate the estimated system state. This ...
Novel mechanisms for regulating polyphosphate metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
To ensure a continuous supply of phosphate, living organisms have devised complex mechanisms to regulate the uptake and subsequent utilization of this essential nutrient. An important aspect of phosphate metabolism is the ...
Metal catalyzed copolymerization processes involving carbon oxides as substrates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Studies concerning two different copolymerization processes are detailed in this
dissertation: propylene oxide/CO2 coupling to afford poly(propylene carbonate) and Nbutylaziridine/
CO coupling to afford poly-??-butylalanoid. ...
Two linear slot nozzle virtual impactors for concentration of bioaerosols
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Two experimental configurations of linear slot nozzle virtual impactors were
constructed and experimentally investigated for use as bioaerosol concentrators. In one
configuration, the Linear Slot Virtual Impactor (LSVI), ...
