(1983)A mechanism has been designed to separate individual onion transplant cells from a continous polyethylene bandoleer belt using a series of 19 gauge, nichrome resistance wires mounted on an eight inch aluminum disc. The ...
-
(1985)A questionnaire was mailed to the marketing officers of 1,000 randomly selected U.S. banks. The purpose was to determine bank marketing responses to deregulation and other changes in the competitive environment of the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Protein folding is one of the major thrusts of biochemical research today. It is the study of how proteins fold into their tertiary structure based solely on their sequence of amino acids. It was once believed that no ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)A "zine" is not considered an abbreviated form of magazine. Instead it is a separate category of publication based around the non-profit and non-professional nature of its authors and producers. Zines regularly address ...
-
(2011-05-05)Spinal cord injury (SCI) currently affects over 250,000 people in the United States alone with approximately 11,000 new cases occurring each year. In addition to its debilitating physical consequences, spinal cord injury ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Theiler's Murine Encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection induces a bi-phasic disease with distinct acute and chronic infection patterns. This study characterizes the behavioral markers of disease during the acute phase ...
-
(1980)The effects of exposure to rain and sunlight on the efficacy of 4-Aminopyridine (4-AP) as a frightening agent for blackbirds (Icteridae) was measured in terms of the ability of the exposed bait to induce abnormal behaviors ...
-
(1980)The response of the parasitoid Cardiochiles nigriceps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) to the contact chemical of its host, Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is investigated in the following study. In response to an ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Benign is a story set in the microscopic world of cellular respiration and reproduction. The plot is concerned with the epiphanies and adventures of Pro, a microorganism who stumbles upon a shocking conspiracy being sustained ...
-

-
(1993)Firefly luciferase catalyzes a bioluminescent oxidation of luciferin. During the first step of the reaction, when luciferin interacts with ATP, a molecule of luciferyl adenylate is formed and a molecule of pyrophosphate ...
-
(1985)The common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) was used in a nutritional study of a commercial food source. The marmosets were divided into two groups. Group I was fed a new dry food produced by Purina. Group 2, the control ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The ultimate goal of the Texas A&M Biocomplexity Project is to numerically and visually simulate a complete chemical mechanism for a simplified cell. It will incorporate the rapidly growing knowledge about cellular ...
-
(1994)A three-phase experiment assessed the trinitrotoluene (TNT) degradation by Alcaligenes strains isolated from a TNT contaminated soil sample. The purpose of the experiment was to show that Alcaligenes bacteria can degrade ...
-
(1995)In some systems, agricultural producers implement an augmentative biological control strategy by releasing large numbers of native hymenopteran parasitoids to reduce insect herbivore densities, which favors the grower ...
-
(1993)This recent research suggests that Red Imported Fire Ants are most likely to impact ground-dwelling vertebrates by subtly altering patterns of habitat utilization. In light of the recent findings, I examined the impact of ...
