-
(1997)This study investigated how international students from both collective and individualistic cultures change attitudes toward their ethnicity, dating and social relationships, and academics as a result of spending one ...
-
(1990)The type and amount of a person's dietary fatty acids have been shown to affect the tendency towards thrombogenesis. Diets which are high in polyunsaturated fats tend to reduce the risk of thrombogenesis, and long-chain ...
-
(2006-08-16)This study examines how the genders of both student writers and their peer tutors affect the dynamics of writing tutoring sessions and influence the student writers’ subsequent evaluations of their peer tutors. Even though ...
-
(2011-04-20)Reducing the frequency of supplementation is an effective means of reducing cost. However, little research has been conducted evaluating the level of supplemental protein required with infrequent supplementation. Therefore, ...
-
(1989)I am investigating the effects of light on the accumulation of mRNA for the atpF and rbcL chloroplast genes. Light exposure affects the expression of some plant genes. Chloroplasts are genetically semi-autonomous when ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Edema, increased tissue fluid volume, may be caused by impaired lymphatic system return. This edema formation inhibits organ function. We hypothesized that increased lymphatic fluid protein concentration would cause ...
-
(1987)Regression diagnostics detect outliers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of measurement error on the detection process of the regression diagnostic, the hat diagonals. The hat diagonals are analyzed ...
-
(1977)A metabolism trial was conducted using eight crossbred Brahman steers to determine the effect of grain processing on protein solubility and digestibility of sorghum. Sorghum grain evaluated was a commercial hybrid grown ...
-
(1977)A key point in the regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis by prokaryotic organisms is the enzyme Aspartate Transcarbamylase. This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of carbamyl phosphate plus aspartate to yield carbamyl aspartate, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Over 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis (MS) and doctors can not discover the cause of the disease or how to stop the progressive deterioration. The symptoms of MS are caused by destruction of the myelin sheath, ...
-
(2012-04-26)Protein kinases are enzymes which phosphorylate other proteins and often play critical regulatory roles in cellular metabolism. We studied the effects of deletion of the TDA1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. TDA1 encodes ...
-
(1979)Microfilaria of Dirofilaria immitis from two heavily infected dogs were detected and measured using the Modified Knott's technique and the Difil Filter testᵃ. Variations in the procedures of the two tests were compared as ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)It is proposed here that the anti-affirmative action policies which were put in place at Texas' public colleges and universities as a result of the Hopwood decision will have a negative impact on minority interest in ...
-
(2006-08-16)The eventual outcome of spinal cord injury is largely influenced by damage that occurs after the injury. Damaged connections between spinal cord cells and the brain allow a positive feedback mechanism to go unchecked when ...
-
(1978)Experiments were performed to determine the effect of various concentrations of calcium, phosphorous, and pH on sporophyte growth of Notholaena sinuata and Pellaea atropurpurea. Growth of both species was limited in media ...
-
(1979)An in vitro fermentation trial was conducted to compare nutrient disappearance and end product production of weathered and nonweathered sorghum. Grain of one line was harvested before and after the rains, cleaned and ...
-
(1997)A program analysis was attempted on the thirty day program offered by the crisis recovery unit in Bryan/College Station, Texas to mentally ill out-patients in crisis. Thirteen interviews were conducted with clients at least ...
-
(1977)Rats were trained to asymptotic running speed in a straight runway and were then given pretraining with either escapable shock, inescapable shock, or no shock. Subjects were then tested in the runway in the presence of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)This study focuses on the effects of alcohol and aspirin on brain development in the neonatal rat. The period of brain development of particular interest is known as the brain growth spurt. Previous studies have shown that ...
-
(2008-05-21)When prototrophic yeast cells undergo continuous growth in nutrient-limited conditions, they experience robust metabolic oscillations. Additionally, the processes of metabolism in yeast cells have been shown to be coordinated ...
