Magnetic Imaging of Micrometer and Nanometer-size Magnetic Structures and Their Flux-Pinning Effects on Superconducting Thin Films
(2010-07-14)In this work the interactions between neighboring superconducting thin film and ferromagnetic structures, i.e. superconductor-ferromagnet hybrid systems, were studied. A type-II superconducting thin film (Pb82Bi12), was ... -
Magnetic Properties and Reactivity Studies of Families of Trigonal Bipyramidal Cyanide Clusters and Their Extended Structures
(2012-02-14)Ferric ferrocyanide (Prussian blue) and its analogues are renowned for the variety of properties and applications associated with them. At the same time, however, they suffer from issues related to their variable composition ... -
Magnetic Resonance Pulse Sequences for Fluorine-19
(2014-07-11)Cellular therapy is the transplantation of live cells or a cell population in a patient for the treatment of complex diseases. The success of cellular therapy will rely heavily on delivering the cells to their targeted ... -
Magnetic structure of Loihi Seamount, an active hotspot volcano in the Hawaiian Island chain
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The use of geophysical techniques to image the interiors of active volcanoes can provide a better understanding of their structure and plumbing. The need for such information is especially critical for undersea volcanoes, ... -
Magneto-optical control of coherent nonlinear processes
(2009-05-15)Laser-atom interactions create atomic coherence and large nonlinear atomic polarization. We investigate resonant laser-atom interactions to generate large nonlinearities and control them using magneto-optical fields. ... -
Magneto-Thermo-Mechanical Coupling, Stability Analysis and Phenomenological Constitutive Modeling of Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys
(2012-12-06)Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) are a class of active materials that de- form under magnetic and mechanical loading conditions. This work is concerned with the modeling of MSMAs constitutive responses. The hysteretic ... -
Magneto-Thermo-Mechanical Response and Magneto-Caloric Effect in Magnetic Shape Memory Alloys
(2012-07-16)Ni-Co-Mn-In system is a new type of magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) where the first order structural and magnetic phase transitions overlap. These materials can generate large reversible shape changes due to ... -
Magnetohydrodynamic lattice Boltzmann simulations of turbulence and rectangular jet flow
(2009-05-15)Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) investigations of decaying isotropic turbulence and rectangular jets (RJ) are carried out. A novel MHD lattice Boltzmann scheme that combines multiple relaxation time (MRT) parameters for the ... -
Mahler Measures of Hypergeometric Families of Calabi-Yau Varieties
(2014-08-04)The logarithmic Mahler measure of a nonzero n-variable Laurent polynomial P ? C [X_1^(?1),?,X_n^(?1) ], denoted by m(P), is defined to be the arithmetic mean of log?|P| over the n-dimensional torus. It has been proved or ... -
Making American: Constitutive Rhetoric in the Cold War
(2011-10-21)Constitutive rhetoric theory posits that community identity is rhetorically created. There are various approaches to constitutive rhetoric, though most rhetoricians have chosen to focus on the works of Maurice Charland ... -
Making and breaking of water in crude oil emulsions
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)An understanding of the processes involved in oil spills, and how they interact to alter the composition and behavior of the oil with respect to time is essential to determine an effective oil spill response. The review ... -
Making Diagnostic Thresholds Less Arbitrary
(2012-07-16)The application of diagnostic thresholds plays an important role in the classification of mental disorders. Despite their importance, many diagnostic thresholds are set arbitrarily, without much empirical support. This ... -
Making it: inside perceptions on success, relapse, and recidivism by In Prison Therapeutic Treatment Community (IPTC) program parolees in Harris County Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The purpose of this research study was to address the gap in the research literature that existed concerning the absence of qualitative data addressing relapse and recidivism in Texas. Numerous quantitative studies dealt ... -
Making Mangroves: Ecologies of Mangrove Restoration in El Salvador, 2011-2013
(2014-05-05)Mangrove restoration for climate mitigation based in adaptation is a national environmental policy in the Republic of El Salvador. Rural, resource-reliant communities are considered especially vulnerable to extreme weather ... -
Making of The Color of Oil: a contemporary pattern for unleashing the potential of science and technology journalism
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)Ideologies, intellectually and religiously driven, color both politics and economics. The relationship between government and the governed, human rights and the rule of law all are affected by such ideologies. However, ... -
Making sense of divergent career test scores
(2009-05-15)The purposes of this study were to discover patterns in test scores when both the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and the Strong Interest Inventory are used simultaneously and to offer career counselors practical ways to ... -
Making Sense of Judicial Sensemaking: A Study of Rhetorical Discursive Interaction at the Supreme Court of the United States.
(2011-08-08)This dissertation engages previous research in political science and psychology by arguing for the importance of oral arguments from a communication perspective, examining justices' rhetorical discursive interaction in ... -
