(1979)Due to rising cost of inputs and chemical resistant insects, cotton farmers in Texas are faced with increasing economic pressure. It is imperative that new cotton production systems be developed, if Texas cotton farmers ...
-
(1982)Network hemodynamic models of the microcirculation were formulated on the basis of a phenomenological relationship between pressure and flow for each individual vessel and specific geometries for capillary vessel connectivity. ...
-
(2006-08-16)The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an online, non-destructive, incipient fault detection system that is able to detect incipient faults in transformers and other electric equipment before the faults become ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Why animals learn and how they do so has long been a topic of inquiry and research. Recently, King, Joynes, Meagher and Grau (1996) showed that exposure to a mild aversive event (a brief shock) can enhance both learning ...
-
(1991)We have previously shown that exposure to three brief (2 sec) 3.0 mA shocks elicits an opioid hypoalgesia, and that exposure to longer (75 sec) tailshocks elicits a nonopioid hypoalgesia in spinalized rats. The present ...
-
(1989)A great number of tract-tracing techniques are presently available for the exploration of nervous system organizations. One such method relies on the incorporation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the neuron, its ...
-
(1977)The septum is a cholinergic system whose fibers serve as the pacemaker for hippocampal theta rhythm. Since acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter involved, cholinergic drugs such as atropine and physostigmine should alter ...
-
(1977)The involvement of neurotransmitters in the inhibitory effect of suckling on plasma LH was investigated. The effect of suckling on the plasma LH levels was studied when the activity of the neurotransmitters, dopamine or ...
-
(1978)Neutron transmutation doped gallium arsenide samples were produced at the Nuclear Science Center at Texas A&M University. The samples were then annealed in an argon gas atmosphere for 20 minutes at temperatures between ...
-
(1985)The purpose of this study is to develop and empirically test a procedure to more effectively use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in the evaluation of securities. The CAPM is a conceptual tool used in estimating the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)This honors thesis argues that the literature of Holocaust negationism is a repackaging of classical antisemitism. The propositional content of negationist discourse is less significant, I argue, than its rhetoric. And its ...

-
(1979)Four horses fitted with permanent posterior ileal cannulas were assigned diets in a 4x4 Latin square experiment to measure nitrogen digestion in different segments of the digestive tract. Using a commercial protein supplement, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The use of stress waves in several civil engineering applications such as nondestructive testing of soil deposits or pavement systems has become extremely popular over the last few years. In all cases, a dynamic impulse ...
-
(1986)The inherent properties of the Operatonal Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) are used to design circuits for fundamental nonlinear applications. The OTA is a voltage controlled current source(VCCS) device in contrast to the ...
