-
(1984)Several processes are candidates for use in a microminiature cryocooler. They are an adiabatic demagnetization cycle, a surface heat pumping cycle, and a cycle based on Joule-Thomson expansion. The later is chosen for ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Studies on the kinetics of protein folding of the histidine-containing phosphocarrier protein (HPr) from the thermophile Bacillus stearothermophilus (Bst) will contribute much to the understanding of the origins of its ...
-
(1978)The preferred temperature of juvenile Brevoortia patronus, Micropogon undulatus and Mugil cephalus and adult Menidia beryllina was determined in a 9.75m horizontal gradient tank. Juvenile fishes were used for all species ...
-
(1984)"Architecture is an instrument whose central function is to intervene in man's favor. The building-and by extension, the city-has the function of lightening the stress of life, or taking the raw environmental load off of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Motion planning algorithms aim to solve the problem of finding a collision-free path to move an object between start and goal positions in an environment. An environment consists of obstacles that the object must avoid. A ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)After in vivo and in vitro experiments comparing wild type and S2 knockout strains of EIAV were conducted, the role of one small accessory protein still eluted discovery, S2. S2, is a small protein that has a nuclear ...
-
The Utilization Of DNA Markers To Define The Gene(s) For Natural Resistance To Brucellosis In Cattle (1990)The objective of this research is to identify the bovine gene complex that controls or partially controls natural resistance to brucellosis in bovines. In mice, a single gene complex (Ity/Bcg/Lsh) controls resistance to ...
-
(1980)With the growing shortages of natural energy resources, and their increasing costs, the need for utilizing the environment around us in our buildings is becoming more evident. To do this man must learn to understand the ...
-
(1977)Combinations of molasses, urea (NPN), Phosphoric acid and two levels of Red Blood Cell (RBC) concentrate were studied to determine their stability, animal acceptability and animal response. Lab. Test tubes and half gallon ...
-
(2012-04-18)In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...
-
(2007-07-14)We calculate the vacuum energy in quantum graphs. Vacuum energy arose in quantum physics but has an independent mathematical interest as a functional carrying information about the eigenvalue spectrum of a system. A quantum ...
-
(1985)I determined the accuracy and repeatability of electrofishing for estimating the proportional stock density (PSD) of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Three production ponds with known PSDs were electrofished at ...
-
(1977)The present study attempted to investigate a number of Soviet “PWD” Physical Fitness Tests in terms of their validity for describing the physical fitness levels of a sample population of Texas secondary school students. ...
-
(1983)Increasing nonconsumptive use of wildlife resources and a concern with the threats of extinction have resulted in development of techniques to value nonmarket natural resources. One such technique is contingent valuation, ...
-
(1977)The length of the menstrual and ovulatory cycle in women is notoriously variable. The frequency distribution of menstrual intervals for women and girls are both positively skewed. Researchers studying the rhythm or similar ...
-
(1991)In both experiments, naltrexone attenuated the baseline tail-flick latencies. This opioid analgesia maybe due to either restraint stress or a conditioned association between the context and the shock. In the first case, ...
-
(1979)Compressional-wave velocities were measured parallel and perpendicular to bedding in five Gulf Coast carbonate samples at atmospheric pressure. In general, the horizontal velocities exceeded the vertical velocities, with ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The dominant American myth of selfhood is the "Protestant English pioneer," the conquering hero that pulled in the reigns on natives and wilderness. However, this heroic selfhood comes at an astonishing price. The ...
-
(1978)The cyclic imino thioether Δ²-thiazoline has been synthesized and characterized. The vibrational structure of the molecule has been studied in several phases by infrared and laser Raman spectroscopy. The spectra have been ...
-
(1995)In the near future the prospect of using CNN processors in conjunction with CCD video imagers is good. CCD's may soon have on-chip neural networks capable of performing quick and valuable processing of the image before it ...
