Expanding the operational envelope of compact cylindrical cyclone gas/liquid separators using a variable inlet-slot configuration
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Despite the numerous advantages associated with using compact cylindrical cyclone
gas/liquid separators, particularly for upstream production operations, the lack of a full
understanding of the complex hydrodynamic process ...
Sensitivity of mesoscale gravity waves to the baroclinicity of jet-front systems
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
To investigate the generation of mesoscale gravity waves from upper-tropospheric jet-front systems, five different life cycles of baroclinic waves are simulated with a high-resolution mesoscale model (MM5 with 10-km grid ...
Genomic analysis of 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase genes of Zea mays
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) are enzymes of the octadecanoid pathway
which converts linolenic acid to a phytohormone, jasmonic acid. Bioinformatics analysis of ESTs and genomic sequences from available ...
Assessing the frictional and baroclinic contributions to stratified wake formation: a parameter space study
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The baroclinic and surface-frictional contributions to stratified wake formation are considered as a function of the non-dimensional height ( = Nho/U) and aspect-ratio ( = ho/L) of the barrier. Numerical simulations are ...
Food service establishment wastewater characterization and management practice evaluation
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Food service establishments that use onsite wastewater treatment systems are experiencing hydraulic and organic overloading of pretreatment systems and/or drain fields. Design guidelines for these systems are typically ...
Real time perfusion and oxygenation monitoring in an implantable optical sensor
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Simultaneous blood perfusion and oxygenation monitoring is crucial for patients undergoing a transplant procedure. This becomes of great importance during the surgical recovery period of a transplant procedure when ...
Modelin combustion of multicomponent fuel droplets: formulation and application to transportation fuels
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The quasi-steady, spherically symmetric combustion of multicomponent isolated fuel
droplets has been modeled using modified Shvab-Zeldovich variable mechanism. Newly
developed modified Shvab-Zeldovich equations have been ...
The effects of nutrition education and gardening on attitudes, preferences and knowledge of 2nd-5th graders regarding fruits and vegetables
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Child obesity has become a national concern. Obesity in children ages 6-17 has more than doubled in the past 30 years. Only 20% of children today consume the recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables. This trend ...
A capacitor-less low drop-out voltage regulator with fast transient response
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Power management has had an ever increasing role in the present electronic industry.
Battery powered and handheld applications require power management techniques to extend the
life of the battery and consequently the ...
Identification of force coefficients in a squeeze film damper with a mechanical seal
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Squeeze film dampers (SFDs) with low levels of external pressurization and poor
end sealing are prone to air entrapment, thus reducing the damping capability.
Furthermore, existing predictive models are too restrictive. ...
