Group Resistance Of Recycled Plastic Pin In Sustainable Slope Stabilization
(Civil & Environmental Engineering, 2014-07-14)Slope failure is a common phenomenon in areas with slope constructed on high plasticity clay and shallow slope failure is predominant in North Texas. The cumulative maintenance cost of minor slides is equal or greater than ... -
Growing Community By Growing Food: A Comparative Study Of Two Community Gardens In North Texas
Community Gardens are a burgeoning trend in the U.S., blooming in many different cities and for different reasons including social activism, sustainability, health, education, ecology, and community. Their popularity also ... -
Growth and stress response mechanisms underlying post-feeding organ regenerative growth in snakes
(2017-08-24)Snakes represent an emerging model in biological research and provide a valuable system for studying multiple extreme phenotypes unparallel to those seen in mammals. Recently, snakes have become increasingly used in studies ... -
Growth And Toxicity Of Prymnesium parvum In Long-term Cultures At Low Temperature And Salinity
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2011-07-14)There is a paradox reported concerning observations of toxic blooms of Prymnesium parvum in winter in Texas (USA), and its growth performance in the laboratlry. Culture experiments indicate relatively high optimum temperature ... -
Growth Mechanism And Interface Effects On Microstructure Of Perovskite-type Barium Titanate-based Epitaxial Films
(Materials Science & Engineering, 2012-07-25)This work was motivated and focused on the growth mechanism, microstructures and interfaces of barium titanate, BaTiO₃ (BTO), based epitaxial thin films. Transimission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution TEM (HRTEM), ... -
Growth Rates Of The Harmful Alga Prymnesium parvum: An Attempt To Identify The Salinity Threshold For Algal Blooms
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2013-03-20)Harmful algal blooms due to Prymnesium parvum have occurred in Texas for nearly three decades in waters of moderate salinity. More recently, blooms have occurred in locations such as West Virginia, in waters of very low ... -
Growth/decline Of Employment Subcenter In Polycentric Regions: The Case Of The Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area
(Urban & Public Affairs, 2008-04-22)This research is concerned with explaining the variation in growth rates among employment subcenters. The purpose of the study is to find answers to the question: What factors/variables contribute to the growth or decline ... -
GUANIDINIUM BASED ANION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES FOR SOLID POLYMER ALKALINE FUEL CELL APPLICATIONS
(2015-12-09)Low temperature traditional PEM Fuel Cells and also other fuel cells in general suffer from the acute yet long standing issues of cost and performance. This has severely hindered the commercialization of fuel cells but ... -
Guidance And Control Of Unmanned Airships For Waypoint Navigation In The Presence Of Wind
(Aerospace Engineering, 2012-07-25)Airships are a specific class of Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) vehicles. These vehicles achieve lift mainly through buoyancy; the usually ellipsoidal shaped hull contains a lifting gas such as helium, which produces the required ... -
GUIDANCE LAWS FOR n-MOBILE AGENTS TO GRIP A MOVING TARGET
(2021-12-20)In this thesis, we consider the problem of n mobile agents carrying a gripper, with the objective of gripping a moving circular target. The target may move with constant velocity, or even maneuver. We develop guidance laws ... -
GUIDANCE NAVIGATION AND CONTROL IMPLEMENTATION FOR UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE USING NI-myRIO
(2016-08-23)This research effort aims at investigating alternative real-time implementation software and hardware for Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) algorithms for an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). A GNC algorithm was previously ... -
