The design and enhancement of a testbed for the remote system monitoring interface device technology (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Texas A&M University is developing an information technology-based system that is able to continuously monitor and diagnose faults of electrical motors, based solely on electrical signals available at the motor terminals, ...
-
(1998)Nuclear import of proteins is a carefully controlled process that is critical for cellular function and regulation. A protein is marked for nuclear entry by a nuclear localization signal (NLS), a peptide motif, which ...
-
(1979)The occurrece of rising thresholds and exit block in artificial cardiac pacemaker therapy are thought to be due to fibrous tissue encapsulation of the implanted electrode. A vapor-deposited carbon-coated titanium electrode ...
-
(1986)A need has surfaced to replace the existing hard wired controller of the environmental chamber used in the 'Peanut Project'. This controller has proven itself to be prone to malfunctions, breakdowns and inflexibilty. It ...
-
(2012-04-24)This thesis outlines the design of a real-time digital signal processing technique for pitch detection and analysis via spectral analysis. A sound’s musical pitch can be determined from its fundamental frequency, and a ...
-
(1985)There is an increasing need for much more effective water management than what has been applied in the past. The need for flow measurement accuracy has become of utmost importance because of lowering water tables from ...
-
(1986)In present day American industry the majority of robotic systems being implemented are servo robots. Non-Servo or Pick-N-Place robots have many qualities suitable for industry, however, are usually considered not flexible ...
-
(2011-08-08)Research is needed on desistance from crime using samples of males and females. Through the use of three waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Adolescent Health (Add Health) data which represents a diverse and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Whenever digital designs are created, they may contain many logic redundancies. Minimization tools are then used to remove these redundancies. The minimized circuit should be smaller, faster, and cheaper while still ...
-
(1980)A micro Ouchterlony gel diffusion test was adapted for detecting auto-immune thyroiditis. The Ouchterlony test was standardized by testing crude thyroid extract against antiserum from an immunized rabbit. The rabbit was ...
-
(2006-08-16)This is the first step in a series of studies to test the feasibility of using Raman Spectroscopy (RS) to non-invasively detect physiologically relevant blood alcohol concentrations. Blood tests, urine tests, and the ...
-
(1986)Previous research on split-ticket voting has concentrated on the level or cause of split-ticket voting. There are many methodological problems with this approach. Thus, this paper studies the determinants of split results ...
-
(1983)The nature of the problem of safely investing bank's loanable funds is examined. A possible means of solving some of the difficulties, credit scoring, is proposed with the objectives it shall meet. Credit scoring literature ...
-
(1997)Neuroblasts in the central nervous system of Drosophila have been increasingly utilized as a model for stem-cell study due to their clearly defined asymmetric division pattern and ease of genetic, cellular, and molecular ...
-
(1987)The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of rope pulling for a food reward as a method of environmental enrichment in laboratory baboons, measured by activity where cage size is limited and the animals ...
-
(1983)An equation was developed that enables the calculation of the Fanning friction factor for the flow of power law fluids. The equation applies for all flow regions - laminar, transitional and turbulent. The equation is based ...
-
(1985)I have studied the maintenance of methyl groups at the HpaII sites of autonomously functioning DNA upon transformation into mammalian cells. DNA molecules, containing the SV40 origin, were methylated in vitro with the ...
-
(1980)Channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) fingerlings were reared in flow-through circular tanks on semipurified diets which consisted of 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14% lipid as beef tallow, unhydrogenated soybean oil, or fish oil. A ...
-
(1995)A few investigators have attempted to clear up the confusion surrounding many Huricea species, yet the confusion continues to be compounded by improper identification in many books, which have based identification on polyp ...
