(1982)Of the known sources of ocean energy, salinity gradients have the most potential. These gradients are found naturally in estuarine environments, but can be artificially produced, given a salt source, such as a hypersaline ...
-
(2012-04-19)Direct-conversion receivers are becoming more and more popular in wireless communication systems because they promise superior performance in power consumption, size, and cost over existing heterodyne-based receivers. ...
-
(2011-08-08)When prices are set properly, they serve as important signals to guide customers to consume the efficient quantity of a good. However, in electricity markets many consumers do not pay prices that reflect the scarcity of ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The development of Effortful Control and Regulation of Emotion in children was examined in this study. Of particular interest was the relationship between self-regulation and responses to social norms. Participants were ...
-
(1976)I have proposed to study the elements of the South American jungle novels, to make a comparison of this style of Super-regionalism with that of the style which deals with other areas, and to make a detailed analysis of The ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The growing technology associated with petroleum equipment has lead to an increase in electrical components used to measure, adjust and control many aspects of the petroleum extraction process. This increase in electrical ...
-
(1996)The objective of this research is to evaluate the performance of ZrB₂ infiltrated with copper as an alternative material system to the standard electrodes of copper and graphite used in electrical discharged machining ...
-
(1981)Electrolysis of coal in an aqueous solution to form carbon dioxide at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode has a thermodynamic cell potential of 0.21 volts. It is believed that a coal electrolysis cell can be developed ...
-
(1990)The electronic transport properties of ternary Al-based amorphous alloys are studied. A description of the evaporation system and measuring cryostat made for the project is given. Preliminary Hall Effect, resistivity, and ...
-
(1980)Allozymic variation at 20 loci determined by isozyme electrophoresis was examined for 10 populations of Peromyscus maniculatus including a total of 159 specimens representing 3 subspecies and 5 ecotypes ranging from Baja ...
-
(1989)Similar to Cagan's study, this thesis is an empirical analysis of the determinants of the liquidity premium. These determinants will be examined, using linear regression analysis, as to their degree of influence on the ...
-
(1989)Financial leverage has been found to be a significant determinant in the pricing of bank acquisitions. This project will focus on analyzing how financial leverage affects the value of a bank. To study this empirical ...
-
(1998)This project seeks to define the effects that exiled Chilean intellectuals had on popular perceptions of Latin America within the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. The diaspora of "creators" following the 1973 ...
-
Environmental Aspects of Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycles: Parametric Modeling and Preliminary Analysis (2010-07-14)Nuclear power has the potential to help reduce rising carbon emissions, but to be considered sustainable, it must also demonstrate the availability of an indefinite fuel supply as well as not produce any significant negative ...
-
(1986)Environmental Context effects refer to experimental findings that recall of learned material is better if it takes place in the original learning environment rather than in a changed physical environment. Eich (1985) ...
-
(1985)It has been hypothesized that there is a positive correlation between an increase in the molybdenum content of seawater and the onset of dinoflagellate blooms, commonly known as red tides. This hypothesis is based on the ...
-
(1993)With the tremendous economic, political, and social problems existing in the United States today, the game of golf seems to be quite insignificant. This may be true when viewing the entire overall "picture" of the world, ...
-
(1987)Protease-catalyzed peptide synthesis, involving 𝛼-chymotrypsin as catalyst and unusual amino acids as acyl acceptors, has been studied. The irreversibility of peptide bonds formed by this method has been explained by ...
-
(1980)The enzymes cellulase and pectinase were examined during ethylene induced leaf abscission in cotton (TAMCOT CAMD-E). Pectinase proved unassayable due to an enzymatic factor that jelled the assay mixture. Cellulase was ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Eschatology in Christian theology means doctrines about the return of Christ to Earth and matters related to that return, such as the resurrection of the dead, the final judgment, the beginning of the etemal Kingdom of ...
