(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The objectives of this dissertation were to find a principal domain of promising and technologically feasible reactor physics characteristics for a multi-purpose, modular-sized, lead-cooled, fast neutron spectrum reactor ...
-
(1998)Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant which has been linked to neurobehavioral deficits, primarily in young children. A current hypothesis for Pb distribution among brain cells is that astroglia, which are ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Rationale: Lead-exposure during developmental periods may alter reinforcing patterns of drugs of abuse in adulthood. Anxiety related mechanisms may also influence drug intake. Interactions between the two altering factors ...

(2012-07-16)Pavement markings are vital for safely navigating roadways. The nighttime visibility of pavement markings is enhanced by addition of retroreflective glass beads, most of which are made from recycled glass. Concern has been ...
-
(2018-05-31)The efficacy of in situ fixing of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) in a highly contaminated soil was examined using chemical extractions for lability, bioavailability, and bioaccessibility accompanied by spectroscopic verification. ...
-
(2018-05-04)This work focuses on reconstructing changes in atmospheric and bottom water circulation in the Central Equatorial Pacific (CEP) through the last 150 000 years, to examine how atmospheric and oceanic system respond to changes ...
-
(2022-08-23)The Greater Fifth Ward is a majority-minority environmental justice neighborhood in Houston, Texas, that experiences legacy pollution from various industries, Superfund sites, and former creosote facilities. Two cancer ...
-
(2023-07-26)The purpose of this research is to investigate atmospheric and oceanographic change that affected the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean (EEP), as archived in marine sediments from a single site in the Panama Basin, over the ...
-
(2011-10-21)Lead is often relegated to a footnote or sidebar in the study of ancient metals. However, the hundreds of lead ingots discovered in underwater sites over the past half-century have attested to the widespread production and ...
-
(2020-10-15)Children are the most susceptible demographic affected by lead (Pb) poisoning because of increased hand-to-mouth interaction at an early age. Here, Pb isotope ratios are used for apportioning the sources of Pb in the blood ...
