• #### A Comparative Study Based on Patient-Specific Fluid-Structure Interaction Modeling of Cerebral Aneurysms ﻿

(2011)
The Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling (T*AFSM) at Rice University has been developing techniques to address the computational challenges involved in fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling. The Stabilized ...

(1964)
• #### A comparative study of the early terrestrial atmospheres with interactive cloud formation ﻿

(1990)
Due to their formation at about the same time in the same region of the early solar nebula, it is reasonable to assume that the primitive atmospheres of Earth, Mars and Venus were similar and that present-day differences ...
• #### A comparative study of the membrane-active beta-sheet peptide protegrin with the alpha-helical peptide alamethicin ﻿

(1999)
The interactions of the membrane-active peptides alamethicin and protegrin with lipid bilayers are studied. The influence of the bilayer composition on the orientation transition of alamethicin is studied using oriented ...
• #### A comparative study on the role of religious interest groups in the formulation of educational policies in the Philippines and Malaysia ﻿

(1989)
Religious interest groups play a significant role in the formulation and/or implementation of educational policies in the Philippines and Malaysia. In the Philippines, the groups are very active in developing ways to affect ...

(1985)
• #### A comparison of discrimination for speech and nonspeech and implications for theories of speech perception ﻿

(1988)
The present paper reviewed the literature supporting and contradicting three theories of categorical perception in speech; the specialized speech processor theory, the cue duration theory, and the acoustic percept theory. ...
• #### A comparison of finite difference stencils on two forms of the acoustic wave equation ﻿

(2000)
In practice, two forms of the acoustic wave equation, the velocity-stress and pressure forms, are used to simulate seismic experiments. These equations in their discrete forms lead to two families of finite difference ...
• #### A COMPARISON OF HOLISTIC TO DECOMPOSED RATING OF POSITION ANALYSIS QUESTIONNAIRE WORK DIMENSIONS ﻿

(1987)
Several methods for improving the job analysis process were examined using the Position Analysis Questionnaire (PAQ). Holistic ratings of PAQ dimensions for four jobs were obtained from 63 non-experts, nine graduate students ...
• #### A comparison of linear scaling replacements for diagonalization in electronic structure calculations ﻿

(2001)
Even when using parametrized semiempirical methods, quantum chemical calculations on molecules containing more than a few hundred atoms become prohibitively expensive due to O (N3) time and memory costs where N is the ...
• #### A comparison of multivariate data analysis techniques as applied to the identification of electrons and tau leptons ﻿

(2001)
This thesis compares the performance of Probability Density Estimation and Neural Networks as applied to the identification of tau leptons and electrons at the DO detector for Run II. The theory behind each method of ...
• #### A Comparison of Plasmon-induced and Photoexcited Hot Carriers in Metallic Nanostructures ﻿

(2015-12-02)
The incompressible oscillations of electrons in metallic nanostructures, known as surface plasmons, have provided a promising route to increasing light-matter coupling and boosting the efficiency of solar energy conversion ...
• #### A comparison of some Eocene and modern sediments by coarse fraction analysis ﻿

(1959)
Examination of an ancient sedimentary basin can provide only an incomplete geologic picture, because it reveals merely the anatomy of a dead body. Physiology must be learned on a living organism, and likewise the geologist ...
• #### A comparison of the magnetospheric specification model, the Garrett model and satellite data for the geosynchronous electron fluxes ﻿

(1991)
The Magnetospheric Specification Model (MSM) calculates electron and ion fluxes that may endanger spacecraft. This thesis is to evaluate the electron flux levels specified by the MSM by comparison with the Garrett model ...
• #### A comparison of the magnetospheric specification model, the Hardy et al. model, and satellite observations for precipitating auroral electron energy fluxes ﻿

(1992)
A semi-quantitative comparison has been made of the observed and calculated precipitating electron energy fluxes for the April 1988 magnetic storm. Electron energy fluxes were calculated by the Rice Magnetospheric Specification ...
• #### A comparison of three methods used to determine functionally important protein residues ﻿

(2003)
A new method for determining functionally important protein residues is analyzed and compared with two previously existing methods. This thesis presents the analysis of several different protein sequences and shows how the ...

(1974)
• #### A compilation and study of twentieth-century double bass solos from the orchestral literature ﻿

(2001)
The purpose of this document is to identify in the twentieth-century orchestral literature, noteworthy solos written for the double bass. Each solo is examined from a variety of viewpoints, including: its musical context ...

(1966)
• #### A comprehensive ab initio study of gallium and arsenic containing molecules ﻿

(1992)
Theoretical calculations for the ground states of arsine (AsH$\sb3$), trimethylgallium (TMG) (Ga(CH$\sb3$)$\sb3$), the arsine$\cdot$TMG adduct, gallane (GaH$\sb3$), the gallane$\cdot$arsine adduct, small Ga$\sb{x}$As$\sb{y}$ ...
