An investigation of motives for birdwatching along the upper Texas Gulf Coast
(1993)
The purpose of this study is to identify and characterize distinct types of birders and their motives for birding in order that the relationship between the two can be better understood. More specifically, this research ...
Development and application of a prompt gamma activation analysis system in the measurement of neutron capture cross-sections of geologic materials
(1992)
A prompt gamma activation analysis system was developed using available equipment at the Texas A&M Nuclear Science Center. This system was used to obtain prompt gamma spectra from geologic materials. A series of exposures ...
The relationship of interdisciplinary teaching to achievement and motivation in precalculus and physics
(1993)
This study examined the relationship of interdisciplinary teaching to precalculus and physics. Two questions were addressed. The first question was designed to determine if there was a difference in achievement between ...
"No Question of Fighting" : the Government, the Army and the Curragh incident, 1914
(1993)
In March 1914, the impending passage of the Home Rule Bill threatened to plunge Ireland into a civil war. In an effort to forestall the creation of a provisional government in the province of Ulster, the Liberal government ...
Cognitive functioning of deaf young adults as determined by Wechsler Performance Scales
(1990)
This study examined the behavior of deaf young adults on the Wechsler Performance Scales relative to variables of deafness, type of schooling and degree of loss. It also compared performance results of the deaf young adults ...
FTMP : a protocol for operating system fault tolerance in a fully distributed, loosely coupled environment
(1990)
This research presents the design, implementation, and testing of FTMP (Fault Tolerant Monitor Protocol). FTMP provides distributed reliability services to application programs in a highly redundant, loosely coupled, ...
Dynamics and control of tethered satellite systems
(1993)
The purpose of this research is to investigate the dynamics of a tethered satellite system in which the flexibility of the tether is considered and to design control laws for the deployment and retrieval of the tethered ...
Bit temperature measurement in printed circuit boards with an infrared pyrometer
(1993)
The objective of this research was measuring bit temperatures with an infrared pyrometer while drilling printed circuit board stacks. Cited research indicated drilling temperatures are related to many plated-through-hole ...
An intelligent resource allocation system
(1992)
The main objectives of this research are investigating the process planning knowledge of allocating construction resources for earthmoving processes and capturing this knowledge in an Intelligent Resource Allocation System ...
An organometallic approach to the synthesis of active site models for nickel-based catalysts
(1993)
Nickel complexes in sulfur-rich environments have been prepared to determine those factors which stabilize organonickel species and permit access to low valent nickel. The trans-(Ph2PCH2CH2S)2Ni complex was obtained by ...
