(2012-04-18)In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...
-
In the study of vacuum energy and the Casimir effect, it proves convenient to model the parallel conducting plates by a “soft” wall of the form v(z) = z^α rather than the standard Dirichlet wall. This model, for instance, ...
-
(2007-07-14)We calculate the vacuum energy in quantum graphs. Vacuum energy arose in quantum physics but has an independent mathematical interest as a functional carrying information about the eigenvalue spectrum of a system. A quantum ...
-
(1985)I determined the accuracy and repeatability of electrofishing for estimating the proportional stock density (PSD) of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Three production ponds with known PSDs were electrofished at ...
-
(1977)The present study attempted to investigate a number of Soviet “PWD” Physical Fitness Tests in terms of their validity for describing the physical fitness levels of a sample population of Texas secondary school students. ...
-
(1983)Increasing nonconsumptive use of wildlife resources and a concern with the threats of extinction have resulted in development of techniques to value nonmarket natural resources. One such technique is contingent valuation, ...
-
(2017-04-28)Smart windows have attracted interest as a method of reducing the energy consumption of buildings. These smart windows would be able to reflect and transmit infrared (IR) light in response to ambient temperature, while ...
-
(1977)The length of the menstrual and ovulatory cycle in women is notoriously variable. The frequency distribution of menstrual intervals for women and girls are both positively skewed. Researchers studying the rhythm or similar ...
-
(1991)In both experiments, naltrexone attenuated the baseline tail-flick latencies. This opioid analgesia maybe due to either restraint stress or a conditioned association between the context and the shock. In the first case, ...
-
(2013-09-19)The Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method is widely used for simulating thermal radiative transfer and solving the radiation transport equation. During an IMC run a grid network is constructed and particles are sourced into ...

(Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University. Library, 2017-01-01)Simply put, the less Americans drive, the less gas they use. More driving, more gas. The negative effects of gasoline consumption are well-documented, ranging from local effects of automobile pollution on individuals' ...

(Private Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University. Library, 2016-08-01)Simply put, the less Americans drive, the less gas they use. More driving, more gas. The negative effects of gasoline consumption are well-documented, ranging from local effects of automobile pollution on individuals' ...
-
(1979)Compressional-wave velocities were measured parallel and perpendicular to bedding in five Gulf Coast carbonate samples at atmospheric pressure. In general, the horizontal velocities exceeded the vertical velocities, with ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The dominant American myth of selfhood is the "Protestant English pioneer," the conquering hero that pulled in the reigns on natives and wilderness. However, this heroic selfhood comes at an astonishing price. The ...
-
(2014-09-15)The Antarctic Dipole (ADP) is a dipole-like pattern seen in various atmospheric and oceanic variables between the Atlantic and Pacific sectors of the Southern Ocean, respectively. It has been used to infer teleconnections ...
-
Roughly half of the eukaryotic genome is under the control of a circadian clock at the level of transcript abundance, with rhythmic transcripts peaking at all possible phases of the day. However, the mechanism for phase ...
-
(2014-09-19)Traditional VTOL aircraft engines use thrusts of air to lift the aircraft straight up and allow them to hover, take off, and land vertically. In this enhanced vertical lift engine design, the direction of incoming air flow ...
-
(2013-02-11)With the advent of ferromagnetic materials for magnetic memory among other applications, increased attention has been given to understanding the properties of these ferromagnets. Here, a vertically aligned nanocomposite ...
-
(1978)The cyclic imino thioether Δ²-thiazoline has been synthesized and characterized. The vibrational structure of the molecule has been studied in several phases by infrared and laser Raman spectroscopy. The spectra have been ...
