Away from home: Domestic constructions of national identity in imperial India
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
My research looks at how the institution of the home shaped the British colonial project. Colonialism is rooted in the conflict of national identity. Colonial subjects in the presence of a politically threatening "Other" ...
Body image disturbances: the effects of media on self-appraisal and ideal mate selection
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Previous research indicates that while media images of women and men are becoming more thin and muscular (respectively), the size and weight of American people is increasing. Several researchers have found that media ...
Activity patterns in two rodent communities at El Cielo Biosphere Reserve, Tamaulipas, Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Today, natural systems are undergoing drastic human-induced changes and losses of biodiversity. During this time of change it is extremely important that we understand the underlying mechanisms controlling the structure ...
Application of micro-heat pipes for the thermal control of semiconductor devices
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Electronic components produce heat that hinders their performance and reliability. Heat pipes, two-phase heat transfer devices, may be used to effectively cool electronic components. This project focuses on two different ...
A comparative study of women in early modern England and their contemporaries in the Ottoman Empire
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
An old Arab proverb says, "People are more akin to their contemporaries than they are to their own forefathers." Do the early modern women of England and the Ottoman Empire share more than their gender? English women of ...
Analysis of improvements in system efficiency and safety at highway-railroad-pedestrian grade crossings
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The purpose of this project was to perform micro-simulation analyses on intersections near Highway-Railroad Grade Crossings to determine if controlling mean train speed and train speed variability would improve safety and ...
An adaptive framework for 'single shot' motion planning
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Automatic motion planning has applications in many areas such as robotics, virtual reality systems, and computer-aided design. Although many different motion planning methods have been proposed, most are not used in practice ...
Board scheduling for circuit board assembly : computational testing of an integer programming approach
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Circuit boards are integral parts of almost all electronic products, which are widespread in today's society. Companies utilizing circuit board assembly processes must remain competitive by using new technologies, shortening ...
ASP 79 makes a large, unfavorable contribution to the conformational stability of Ribonuclease SA
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
An important unsolved problem in the field of biochemistry is the protein folding problem. Extensive research is being done to predict the structure and function of a protein given just its linear sequence of amino acids. ...
Observation-based test set generation
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
When circuits are manufactured, there are unavoidable defects that occur in a small but significant portion of the products. Input test patterns that can detect these defects are uniquely generated for each circuit in ...
