Effect of immersion chiller management and microbial intervention strategy on Salmonella or Campylobacter post-chill carcass incidence during commercial turkey processing
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The first objective of this investigation was to identify a practical and efficient sampling and culture procedure for recovering Salmonella and Campylobacter from commercially processed turkey carcasses. To investigate ...
A finite difference model for predicting sediment oxygen demand in streams
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Sediment oxygen demand (SOD) is a significant part of the dissolved oxygen budget in waterways, comprising up to 50% in some systems. It, therefore, has the potential of having a significant impact on the environment. ...
Summer fish assemblages in channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
I used a conceptual model proposed by Schlosser (1987) to compare channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas. This model suggests that fish assemblage structure can be predicted based on the ...
A microphysical and dynamical comparison of the observed and simulated structure of a Florida area thunderstorm
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
An evaluation of the COMMAS (COllaborative Model for Multiscale Atmospheric Simulation) model's ability to simulate the dynamics and microphysics of a multicellular storm was conducted using data from the 19 September storm ...
Fatal injuries among Hispanic construction workers
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in the United States and make up a large portion of the construction industry. This study was conducted to determine if Hispanic construction workers are injured at a higher ...
The evaluation of Cooper ratings for in-service timber railroad bridge stringers independent of the timber specie
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The objective of this thesis is to determine a method for assigning a rating to in-service timber railroad bridges. The standard method of rating a railroad bridge is to assign a Cooper E rating which corresponds to the ...
Development of a frequency doubled high powered laser diode end-pumped Nd:YVO₄/LBO laser
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The development of a high power solid state laser poses a serious non-trivial task. Several different elements combine to form this complex quantum device. Each of the elements of the laser receives sufficient description ...
Mapping and ranking flow units in reef and shoal reservoirs associated with paleohighs: upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover Formation, Appleton and Vocation Fields, Escambia and Monroe Counties, Alabama
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Flow units in the Oxfordian Smackover Formation at Vocation and Appleton Fields were identified, mapped, and ranked as part of an integrated reservoir characterization project. Pore categories by origin, pore and pore ...
Characterization of gas condensate reservoirs using pressure transient and production data - Santa Barbara Field, Monagas, Venezuela
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis presents a field case history of the integrated analysis and interpretation developed using all of the available petrophysical, production, and well test data from the condensate zone of Block A, Santa Barbara ...
The impact of currency fluctuations on the interrelationships among stock markets
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
This thesis investigates the dynamic interdependence structure of nine national equity markets of the U.S., Canada, U.K, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Japan and Hong Kong during the post-Bretton Woods era, i.e., ...
