Capacity dynamics of feed-forward, flow-matching networks exposed to random disruptions
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
While lean manufacturing has greatly improved the efficiency of production operations,
it has left US enterprises in an increasingly risky environment. Causes of
manufacturing disruptions continue to multiply, and today, ...
A new structural subclass of constrained geometry catalysts for the polymerization of olefins
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The sterically expanded octamethyloctahydrodibenzofluorene moiety, C29H38
(Oct), has been incorporated into ansa-metallocenes and constrained geometry catalysts
(CGC's). Utilization of this sterically expanded version of ...
Development of tandem time-of-flight instrumentation for the examination of prompt photodissociation of peptides using 193-nm radiation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The design and incorporation of a decelerating/accelerating cell into a reflectron
time-of-flight mass spectrometer is described for the examination of promptly-formed
photodissociation products of peptide ions. The ...
Application and modeling of near-infrared frequency domain photon migration for monitoring pharmaceutical powder blending operations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Frequency domain photon migration consists of launching an intensitymodulated
near-infrared light into the powder medium and measuring the amplitude,
mean-intensity, and phase shift of detected intensity modulated light ...
Storytelling and truthtelling: discursive practices of news-storytelling in Truman Capote, Norman Mailer, and John Hersey
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Focusing on new-journalistic nonfiction novels by Truman Capote,
Norman Mailer, and John Hersey, this dissertation conceptualizes the
discursive practices of news-storytelling as a necessary matrix of storytelling
and ...
Operation transformation based concurrency control in group editors
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Collaborative editing systems (or group editors) allow a geographically dispersed
group of human users to view and modify shared multimedia documents, such as
research papers, design diagrams, web pages and source code ...
Multi-resolution methods for high fidelity modeling and control allocation in large-scale dynamical systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation introduces novel methods for solving highly challenging model-
ing and control problems, motivated by advanced aerospace systems. Adaptable, ro-
bust and computationally effcient, multi-resolution ...
High-silica zeolite nucleation from clear solutions
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Understanding the mechanism of zeolite nucleation and crystallization will
enable the zeolite science community to tune zeolite properties during synthesis in
order to accommodate the purposes of various applications. Thus ...
Blood and water; the archaeological excavation and historical analysis of the Wreck of the Industry, a North-American transport sloop chartered by the British army at the end of the Seven Years' War: British colonial navigation and trade to supply Spanish Florida in the eighteenth century
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In the 10-mer RNA duplex model system a 4-isocyano TEMPO spin-label is individually attached to one strand and two strands are annealed to measure distances. This methodology is limited to systems in which two oligonucleotides ...
Covariant Weyl quantization, symbolic calculus, and the product formula
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A covariant Wigner-Weyl quantization formalism on the manifold that uses
pseudo-differential operators is proposed. The asymptotic product formula that leads
to the symbol calculus in the presence of gauge and gravitational ...
