Modern architecture: an analysis of the Iconic vision in film
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
In reaction to the academic revivalism of the nineteenth century, early modern architects sought a radical departure in form that would reflect a new spirit. Flowing, open spaces and bold, abstract forms, their use of ...
Parallelization for geophysical waveform analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The use of parallel processors can be a very effective method for improving the running time of large or complex calculations. The Standard Template Adaptive Parallel Library (STAPL) is being developed by Dr. Lawrence ...
Using spheres to improve motion planning algorithms
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Motion planning algorithms aim to solve the problem of finding a collision-free path to move an object between start and goal positions in an environment. An environment consists of obstacles that the object must avoid. A ...
Synthetic Strategies Toward Tetrahydrofurans Involving Double Diastereoselective Nucleophile-Promoted Aldol-Lactonizations and Subsequent Applications to Bioactive Natural Products
(2011-08-08)
Novel synthetic strategies towards the formation of tetrahydrofurans and their
subsequent application to bioactive natural products have been explored. More
specifically, a method for invoking double-diastereoselectivity ...
Static, cylindrical symmetry in general relativity and vacuum energy
(2011-08-08)
In the first section of my research, in analogy with the standard derivation of the spherically symmetric Schwarzschild solution of the Einstein field equations, I find all static, cylindrically symmetric solutions of the ...
"Cold Venal Advocate": Henry Fielding's lawyers
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Henry Fielding wrote frequently and harshly about lawyers. While many commentators have noted Fielding's criticism of lawyers and studied Fielding's concern with legal institutions generally, none have yet undertaken a ...
Caught in the act: the stage as a backdrop for defining crime in early modern England
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This study seeks to explicate the complex relationship between crime and drama in early modern England. In a historical context of social, political, and religious upheaval, defining criminality becomes an essential ...
An implementation and analysis of a randomized distributed stack
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This thesis presents an algorithm for a randomized distributed stack, a coded simulator for examining its behavior, and an analysis of data collected from simulations configured to investigate its performance in particular ...
Authentication : can mobile environments be secured?
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
A mobile system is defined as a network in which one or more of the interconnection links is a wireless medium. Wireless media include but are not limited to, cellular or radio transmissions, satellite services, and ...
A study of specific visual stimuli that affect the learning process
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Conventional wisdom about educational facilities is that the school building simply provides the container in which learning occurs, and that the actual design of these containers has little to contribute to the real purpose ...
