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 ...
A comparison of a Klockenburg style split keyboard and a standard PC keyboard on typing speed and posture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The current study compares biomechanical and productivity outcomes
related to the use of a Klockenburg (split and angled) style keyboard as opposed
to the use of a standard PC 101 style keyboard among office workers. The ...
Construction project partnering in Texas' public universities
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Partnering is a tool used in the construction industry to reduce claims and litigations and
also to deliver a quality product in a cost efficient and timely manner. This research
analyzes the impact of the partnering process ...
The theoretical development of a new high speed solution for Monte Carlo radiation transport computations
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Advancements in parallel and cluster computing have made many complex
Monte Carlo simulations possible in the past several years. Unfortunately, cluster
computers are large, expensive, and still not fast enough to make the ...
Disruption of DNA methylation induces genome-specific changes in gene expression in Arabidopsis allotetraploids
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Allopolyploids are formed by the combination of evolutionarily-diverged genomes, the
union of which leads to dynamic changes in gene expression and genome organization.
Expression patterns of orthologous genes are rapidly ...
Viscosities of natural gases at high pressures and high temperatures
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Estimation of viscosities of naturally occurring petroleum gases provides the information
needed to accurately work out reservoir-engineering problems. Existing models for
viscosity prediction are limited by data, especially ...
Development of a novel orthopedic microfastener
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Over the last decade, biodegradable screws and plates have received wide
acceptance over metallic fasteners for orthopedic fracture fixation. A biodegradable
fastener would gradually "disappear" during healing of a fractured ...
Variance reduction and outlier identification for IDDQ testing of integrated chips using principal component analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Integrated circuits manufactured in current technology consist of millions of
transistors with dimensions shrinking into the nanometer range. These small transistors
have quiescent (leakage) currents that are increasingly ...
Inhibition studies of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase from Escherichia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) catalyzes the formation of carbamoyl
phosphate (CP) from MgATP, bicarbonate, and glutamine. It has three active sites, one
present on the small subunit and the two phosphorylation sites ...
Development of a screening method for drought tolerance in cotton seedlings
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The key to an efficient screening method is the ability to screen large amounts of
plant material in the shortest time possible. Unfortunately, due to the complexity of
drought tolerance, a quick and effective screen for ...
