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, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH) is an enzyme capable of degrading toxic organophosphorus chemicals including the chemical warfare agents, sarin and VX, as well as many insecticides. This project seeks to understand how ...
-
(2011-08-08)For forty years, transistor counts on integrated circuits have doubled roughly every two years, enabling computer architects to double the clock speed of processors. Recently, heat dissipation and power consumption trends ...
-
(1983)Although it is not possible to discover the exact variables that resulted in Charles Grandison Finney and his revival movement setting the nation ablaze with social and religious reform in the 19th century, Finney introduced ...

(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The objectives of this study include the identification of the effects of history on contemporary Mexican immigration in the areas of education, employment and culture. Beginning with a detailed historical background of ...
-
(1981)The effects of loading six to eight weight per cent carbon black in 4.15 N H₂SO₄ electrolyte on the cell performance and reaction products from water electrolysis were studied. When only the anodic reaction is depolarized ...
-
(1984)If families/children are to be sent on space explorations, then a space cabin must be designed to accommodate children. Before designing such a space cabin, research is necessary to define children's capabilities. This ...
-
(1993)The relationship between decreases in self-concepts and increases in cognitive abilities involving comparisons was studied with second- through fourth-grade children. One hundred, twenty-six children were given the ...
-
(1983)Fifteen Lolliguncula brevis were divided into three groups based on body size (mantle length). The dorsal mantle, ventral mantle and fins of those squids were observed and the arrangements of chromatophores in those areas ...
-
(1978)Rates of speciation and chromosomal evolution were calculated for six families of North American fishes. Prior studies have shown these rates to be correlated among groups ranging from higher plants to mammals. The rates ...
-
(2012-07-11)In 1967, Warner Bros. released the film Cool Hand Luke and out of this film came one of the most famous quotes in the history of motion pictures: “What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.” That same year marked ...
-
(1977)The question whether Prehistoric Tikal was agriculturally self-sufficient based on slash and burn agriculture is proposed. The problem is evaluated from the standpoint of its four most fundamental components: (1) Peten ...
