Real-time processing of a long perimeter fiber optic intrusion system
(2009-09-30)
This thesis reports on recent advances made in real-time intruder detection for an intrusion system developed at Texas A&M University that utilizes a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer. The system uses light ...
A REVOLUTION WITHIN A REVOLUTION: AFRICAN AMERICAN AND WOMEN BEAT POETS

The objective of this research was to shed light on African Americans and Women poets influenced by the Beat Generation. I chose LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, Diane di Prima and Bob Kaufman. I researched each poet's background, ...
Comparison of cellulose consumption between Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) under laboratory conditions
(2007-09-17)
We are interested in determining the effects of subterranean termite soldier ratios on the overall cellulose consumption of Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes. In nature, Coptotermes formosanus is found in ...
ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A PROGRAMMABLE LOW-DROPOUT REGULATOR
(2007-09-17)
As portable electronic devices become a part of daily life, it creates a huge market for electronic components for those battery driven devices. Low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator is an important part that provides steady ...
A NEW ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR STRESS CONCENTRATION AROUND HARD SPHERICAL PARTICLES IN METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES
(2007-09-17)
This analytical model predicts the stress concentration around an elastic, spherical particle in an elastic-plastic metal matrix using strain gradient plasticity theory and a finite unit cell. The model reduces to the ...
The Infection of Freshwater Cyanobacteria by Their Phages
(2007-09-17)
Phage lysis of cyanobacteria could significantly influence nutrient availability in aquatic systems. We examined the requirements of phage infection in freshwater cyanobacteria
and identified several factors that affected ...
Probing the Vibrational Relaxation of N2 and O2 by Use of CARS Spectroscopy to Model NTE-Turbulence
(2009-06-09)
The thermochemical dynamics associated with hypersonic flight and turbulent flow is vital to understanding the effects that hypersonic turbulence has on objects or vehicles traveling at speeds above Mach 5 (~ 1708 m/s). ...
JOINT INVOVLEMENT AND MOVEMENT AMPLITUDE IN TWO-SEGEMENT MOVEMENTS
(2007-09-17)
The purpose of this research is to identify the effect of varying constraints on the planning and organization of multijoint movements, specifically how amplitude and movement direction affect the planning and organization ...

(2007-09-17)
The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of certain factors on the success of globalization of U.S. minority and women owned small businesses. Research in this area to date has addressed minorities and women ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF MYCOSIN FAMILY PROTEASES, NOVEL DRUG TARGETS OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS
(2007-09-17)
Tuberculosis is the world’s leading cause of death by infectious disease. Antibiotic resistance and HIV co-infection is increasing at an alarming rate. Mycosins-1-5 are subtilisin-like serine proteases within the periplasmic ...
