Menstrual cycle effects on pain modulation and autonomic arousal
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Animal research has elucidated the neurobiological substrates and environmental
determinants of pain modulation. Despite these advances, relatively little is known
about how psychological processes activate pain modulatory ...
The physical and emotional benefits of companion animals
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Elderly people are at high risk for conditions associated with inactivity, and lack
of motivation is an important factor contributing to this inactivity. It is believed that a dog
can provide the necessary motivation to ...
Carrier envelope phase stabilization of a femtosecond laser and iodine spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The carrier envelope (CE) phase of a femtosecond laser was stabilized. The laser
produces an ultra stable comb of frequency spanning the visible region and basically is
an optical frequency synthesizer and ready for the ...
Optimal dimensionless design and analysis of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A jet ejector may be used as a compressor or to enhance thrust of watercraft or aircraft. Optimization of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters was conducted using the software GAMBIT (Computer Aided Engineering ...
Risk assessment of surface vs subsea blowout preventers (bops) on mobile offshore drilling units focusing on riser failure and the use of subsea shear rams
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The use of a slim, high-pressure drilling riser for surface blowout preventer operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico was assessed as an alternative to conventional drilling procedures from floating units. Comparison ...
A simulation model of Rio Grande wild turkey dynamics in the Edwards Plateau of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
I investigated the effect of precipitation and predator abundance on Rio Grande wild
turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; RGWT) in Texas. My results suggested that RGWT
production was strongly correlated with cumulative winter ...
Nonlinearity and noise modeling of operational transconductance amplifiers for continuous time analog filters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A general framework for performance optimization of continuous-time OTA-C
(Operational Transconductance Amplifier-Capacitor) filters is proposed. Efficient
procedures for evaluating nonlinear distortion and noise valid for ...
Design of a 3.1-4.8 GHZ RF front-end for an ultra wideband receiver
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
IEEE 802.15 High Rate Alternative PHY task group (TG3a) is working to define
a protocol for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) which makes it possible to
attain data rates of greater than 110Mbps. Ultra Wideband (UWB) ...
Beyond scientific research: tracing the contributions Ernest Rutherford made to the next generation of scientists
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Before his death in 1937, Ernest Rutherford discovered the rate of radioactive decay of
atoms. In 1911 he proposed the nuclear structure of the atom, and in 1919 he
successfully split the nucleus of an atom. Rutherford ...
Electrochemical deposition of green rust on zero-valent iron
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Perchloroethylene (PCE) is a toxic contaminant that has been introduced into the environment over many years through industrial and agricultural wastes. Research has been done in the past to investigate PCE degradation by ...
