-
(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 ...
-
(1982)The importance of stress concentration factors in machines and stuctures led to the development of various experimental and analytical techniques for determining them. One of these methods is the application of finite ...
-
(2008-03-20)Salmonella typhimurium is a bacterium that causes many food-borne illnesses such as gastrointestinal infections, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. It affects 700,000 to 3.8 million people each year. The SseB protein, a part ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)There are many advantages of using the baculovirus expression system, including: high expression levels, post-translational modifications, and the fact that the resulting proteins are correctly folded and biologically ...
-
(2007-07-23)When a person suffers a spinal cord injury, peripheral damage often accompanies it, such as damage to the legs, for instance. The pain (nociceptive) signals from this peripheral injury are being sent to the damaged spinal ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Brucella are Gram-negative intracellular pathogenic bacteria, which represent a threat to human and animal health. Live vaccine strains are available to protect some animal species but no vaccines exist for human use. A ...
-
(1982)Research was done on developing a more precise technique to screen peach cultivars for root-knot nematode resistance, utilizing semi-hardwood peach cuttings. ‘Nemaguard,’ ‘Rutgers Red Leaf,’ and ‘EarliGrande' stem cuttings ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Gene knockouts in an organism give valuable information about that gene's function. The current method for producing Brucella knockout mutants - sacB insertion followed by sucrose counterselection - is inefficient. A novel ...
-
(2006-08-16)Stressful life events have been linked to the onset, susceptibility, and even progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Theiler’s murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) infection, a ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Nuclear transfer is fast becoming an alternative method for reproduction, and it is useful in producing genetically identical animals. This study was designed to develop and characterize a cell line which may be possible ...
-
(1977)Initial attempts to find mutant strains incapable of transporting guanine into the cells yielded no mutants. Further studies on the transport of guanine into N. crassa cells revealed a second guanine uptake system which ...
