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 ... -
Guidance Of Receiver Aircraft To Rendezvous With Tanker In The Presence Of Wind
(Aerospace Engineering, 2010-03-03)This thesis work addresses the problem of aircraft rendezvous in the presence of prevailing wind for automated aerial refueling operations. A modified point-parallel rendezvous procedure is defined. The tanker aircraft ... -
Guided-mode Resonance Devices: Omnidirectional Reflectors, Wideband Absorbers, Sensors And Narrowband Filters
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-03-10)In this thesis, a series of guided-mode resonance (GMR) devices are developed and optimized in the optical spectral region. Some of these devices are designed by inverse algorithms such as genetic algorithm and particle ... -
Guided-mode resonant filters and reflectors: principles, design, and fabrication
(2016-05-10)Thin-film structures incorporating wavelength-scale gratings provide functionalities for applications in various optical systems. Previously, spectral filters, wideband reflectors, and polarizers have been identified as ... -
Guided-mode Resonant Solar Cells And Flat-top Reflectors: Analysis, Design, Fabrication And Characterization
(Electrical Engineering, 2014-07-14)This dissertation addresses the guided-mode resonance (GMR) effect and its applications. In particular, this study presents theoretical analysis and corresponding experiments on two important GMR devices that can be broadly ... -
Guidelines for designing nodal landmarks that foster enhanced pedestrian wayfinding, imageability, and sense of place in the Central Business District, of Dallas, Texas
(2020-06-05)City nodes are designed and used to help improve a city’s wayfinding, imageability, and sense of place. If these nodes lack evidence-based image creation and navigation facilitation design parameters, the result is often ... -
Guiltless Girls: Unpacking 100-calorie Snacks
(Sociology, 2009-09-16)The intended purpose of this paper is to consider how 100 calorie snacks are primarily advertised and produced for women. Little research has been done on 100 calorie snacks as they were introduced to the food market in ... -
H-infinity Output Feedback Control: Application To Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(Electrical Engineering, 2007-08-23)This dissertation presents new necessary and sufficient conditions for static output-feedback control of linear time-invariant systems using the H-Infinity approach. Simplified conditions are derived which only require the ... -
H.264 Standard Based Side Information Generation In Wyner-ziv Coding
(Electrical Engineering, 2010-07-19)The traditional video coding involves a high complexity encoder and relatively low complexity decoder. The complexity of the encoder is mainly due to motion estimation [3] and other prediction techniques employed . There ... -
