Daily Time Step Simulation with a Priority Order Based Surface Water Allocation Model
(2011-02-22)
Surface water availability models often use monthly simulation time
steps for reasons of data availability, model parameter parsimony, and reduced
computational time. Representing realistic streamflow variability, ...
A Monte Carlo investigation of robustness to nonnormal incomplete data of multilevel modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Due to its increasing popularity, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has been
used along with structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data with nested
structure. In spite of the extensive research on commonly encountered ...
Simulation of particle agglomeration using dissipative particle dynamics
(2009-05-15)
Attachment of particles to one another due to action of certain inter-particle
forces is called as particle agglomeration. It has applications ranging from efficient
capture of ultra-fine particles generated in coal-burning ...
Economic implications of anaerobic digesters on dairy farms in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Historically, air and water have been considered common property resources and,
therefore, over utilized as waste receptors. Dairy waste is a leading environmental
concern in the North Bosque River watershed in Texas. ...
Methodology for designing the fuzzy resolver for a radial distribution system fault locator
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The Power System Automation Lab at Texas A&M University developed a fault location scheme that can be used for radial distribution systems. When a fault occurs, the scheme executes three stages. In the first stage, all ...
Studies on Hazard Characterization for Performance-based Structural Design
(2010-07-14)
Performance-based engineering (PBE) requires advances in hazard
characterization, structural modeling, and nonlinear analysis techniques to fully and
efficiently develop the fragility expressions and other tools forming ...
Behavioral ecology and conservation of large mammals: historical distribution, reintroduction and the effects of fragmented habitat
(2009-05-15)
Conservation biologists have used reintroduction as a method to reestablish extirpated species in their native habitat. Three important aspects of a successful reintroduction effort include: (1) a habitat suitability study ...
Quantification of uncertainty in reservoir simulations influenced by varying input geological parameters, Maria Reservoir, CaHu Field
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Finding and developing oil and gas resources requires accurate geological information with which to formulate strategies for exploration and exploitation ventures. When data are scarce, statistical procedures are sometimes ...
Visualization of Ant Pheromone Based Path Following
(2010-07-14)
This thesis develops a simulation and visualization of a path finding algorithm based on
ant pheromone paths created in 3D space. The simulation is useful as a demonstration of
a heuristic approach to NP-complete problems ...
An empirical simulation analysis on cotton marketing strategies in west Texas
(2009-05-15)
The three marketing strategies, buying a put option, cash sale at harvest, and cash sale in
June after December harvest, are simulated for six representative irrigated and dryland
cotton farms in West Texas. Each marketing ...
