Item The distribution of roots of certain polynomial(2010-05) Rodríguez, Miguel Antonio, 1972-; Villegas, Fernando Rodriguez; Duke, William; Vaaler, Jeff; Voloch, Felipe; Keel, SeanAbstract not available.Item Modeling of water flow in xylem(Texas Tech University, 1988-08) Muscato, Richard F.In determining a model for water uptake in a root system, Landsberg and Fowkes [6] centered their attention on a plant model consisting of the single main root and first order laterals. This research dealt with a circular cross-sectional xylem. The purpose of this thesis is to extend the work done by Landsberg and Fowkes by comparing the water flow through three different cross-sectional xylem 1) circular, 2) annular and 3) elHptical. A formula known as Hagen-Poiseuille's was used throughout this paper in considering circular xylem and then modified for use with annular and elliptical xylem.Item Understanding complex numbers and identifying complex roots graphically(2009-08) Whitfield, Lakesha Rochelle; Armendariz, Efraim P.; Daniels, Mark L.This master’s report seeks to increase knowledge of complex numbers and how to identify complex roots graphically. The reader will obtain a greater understanding of the history of complex numbers, the definition of a complex number and a few of the field properties of complex numbers. Readers will also be enlightened on how to visibly detect complex roots of polynomials of the second, third and fourth degree.
