(2012-05-02)Crosses between two species of Neurospora are typically sterile and result in the production of non-viable or few viable ascospores. It is unclear what prevents successful sexual reproduction and the viability of hybrid ...
-
(1993)In 1988, the members of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) voted overwhelmingly for a change in the requirements to qualify to take the Uniform CPA Examination (Exam). The AICPA's Plan to ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)The complex tasks involved in both the production and use of linguistic data tend to be highly repetitive and tedious. These are the tasks at which computers excel, and at which humans perform very poorly. In this thesis ...
-
(2007-07-14)Christianity, Islam, and Taoism are examined with specific reference to each tradition’s conception of unity, both with God and with other humans. Conceptions of unity are used as a heuristic device in order to examine the ...
-
(1995)The purpose of this paper is to explore how universities react to outside pressures that threaten their basic interests. Two issues are central to this paper. First is identifying the basic interests of universities and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The Victorian ideology of separate spheres made an evident separation according to gender. The principle not only affected the interaction between men and women but also the spaces that they occupied. While men had access ...
-
(1986)Recent research has found that many women are being forced or persuaded to engage in unwanted sexual activity. Are men ever forced or persuaded to engage in unwanted sexual activity? If so, how often, and why? In a pilot ...
-
(1976)This paper considers the upward continuation of single profiles of vertical magnetic data taken across models where all the information is contained in a single profile. The single profile upward continuation integral ...
-
(2011-08-08)Work was done to study a hydride-dehydride method for producing uranium metal powder. Particle distribution analysis was conducted using digital microscopy and grayscale image analysis software. The particle size was found ...
-
(2012-04-16)This study presents the results of experimental work that examines the functionality of friction-damped braced frames during seismic events. The simplicity and efficacy of this friction device as a means of passive vibration ...
-
(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 ...
