(1977)Two systems were evaluated for their potential use in a novel photochemical solar energy storage method dubbed HELEOS (Hydrocarbon Entrapment of Light Energy of the Sun). This method consists of storing solar energy through ...
-
(1990)The Asp15-->Ala mutant of ribonuclease T1 (RNase T1) was constructed by site-directed mutagenesis, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. This mutant was synthesized to determine whether or not the aspartic acid at ...
-
(2011-08-08)Nanomedicine is a growing field of medicine that seeks to take advantage of nanoscale materials in order to address current challenges such as the ability to cross the epithelial mucus of the lungs to deliver treatment. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)This study seeks to explicate the complex relationship between crime and drama in early modern England. In a historical context of social, political, and religious upheaval, defining criminality becomes an essential ...
-
(1997)What are the cellular mechanisms that govern when the outgrowing neurite of a neuron will branch? This research analyzed one possible biochemical pathway through which environmental and cellular signals are transduced into ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The outrageous corporate accounting and fraud scandals in the past years have all but demolished investors' faith in our accounting framework. One big area of concern is executive compensation. In 1992, Congress enacted ...
-
(1977)Cesium selectivity (kg) exponentially increased as Cs saturation decreased in the <0.2μm clay fraction and possibly in the 2-0.2μm clay and 20-2μm silt fractions of the lignite associated shale. The <0.2μm clay fraction ...
-
(1991)The effect of the nature of questions (behavior-based vs. trait-based and comparative vs. noncomparative) on measures of self-esteem for kindergartners and third graders was investigated. A total of 163 subjects answered ...
-
(1987)This project is designed to define the changes in sensitivity and responsiveness that occur in blood vessels (an external iliac artery) after the normal sympathetic nervous system tone to these- vessels is chemically ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Nonlinearities in a system are often thought of as unimportant and negligible. It is only recently that many of the impacts of nonlinearities in a system are being fully realized. One of these impacts is chaos. Chaos ...
-
(1998)With literally tons of biomass produced annually, a process that uses this waste as a feedstock would help reduce the problem of disposal. The MixAlco process is one that does just that. It converts biomass through anaerobic ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Most organisms display daily rhythms in biochemical, physiological, and behavioral events. Examples of these rhythms include photosynthesis in plants and sleep/wake cycles in birds and mammals. These daily rhythms are ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)To transport humans into space routinely and safely a spacecraft must be capable of proximity operations (maneuvers close to other spacecraft), and on-orbit maintenance. These operations require an intelligent system that ...
-
(1983)The potential of using biological control agents to promote agricultural by plant scientists. production is now being recognized One agent, Pseudomonas fluorescens strain Pf-5, produces antibiotics which protect cotton ...
-
Characterization of Fluffy A. nidulans Mutants Induced by 5-Azacytidine and 4-Nitroquinoline-1-Oxide (1991)The manner in which the fluF mutation was isolated makes it very interesting because it suggests that it may arise from an epigenetic defect. 5-Azacytidine (5-AC) treatment results in a high frequency of conversion of wild ...
-
(1995)GaSb/Sb heterostructures hold the promise of being very interesting materials. Properties introduced by the growth of the semiconductor and semi-metal together may prove to be very useful in various electronic devices. ...
-
(1977)Dust emissions from agricultural processes have never been considered much of a problem in years past. With most of these processes taking place in rural areas, government regulatory agencies have very often exempted ...
-
(1991)The retinoblastoma gene is the prototype for a class of recessive cancer genes in which loss of activity of both normal alleles is associated with the occurrence of cancer. Deletions occurring at the RB1 locus on chromosome ...
-
(1979)In this study, cyclic 3':5'-monophosphate phosphodiesterase from human lung tissue was investigated. After a brief review of the literature, some physical properties of the enzyme were characterized. A Heat Lability study ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Genes within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are involved in immune response to infectious agents, tumor metastasis, stress response, gametogenesis, and development, including embryogenesis. Therefore, ...
