(1990)The extent to which gender and self-monitoring correlated with the ability to detect deceit in interpersonal interactions was examined. 20 men and women were videotaped while describing someone they liked and someone they ...
-
(1990)Group 6 metal anionic complexes, (CO)₅M(O₂CR)⁻ (M = Cr, Mo, W; R = Me, OPh , were investigated for potential catalytic properties that would mediate a copolymer synthesis. Copolymers made of alternating carbon dioxide and ...
-
(1977)The purpose of this study was to investigate the cell-mediated activity of the facultative intracellular parasite, Listeria Monocytogenes, in the guinea pig. Special emphasis was placed upon the particular subcellular ...
-
(1983)This report is a study of the development of an active, adaptive noise control system for a 4" I.D. duct. The study yielded the development of a series of circuits to be incorporated with a microprocessor in a continuous ...
-
(1977)Transfer RNA (tRNA) methyltransferases were partially purified from Manduca sexta prepupa larvae and 2-day-old pupae. The purification procedure involved pH 5 precipitation, gel filtration to remove endogenous inhibitors ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Today, natural systems are undergoing drastic human-induced changes and losses of biodiversity. During this time of change it is extremely important that we understand the underlying mechanisms controlling the structure ...
-
(1977)Laboratory bioassays were conducted with toxaphene to determine its toxicity and LC₅₀ for grass shrimp, Palaemonetes pugio. Tests were conducted at 10, 19 and 100 ppb at 25°C and 10, 19 and 23 ppb at 30°C. The 24 hour LC₅₀ ...
-
(1995)The Inverted Pendulum System, which consists of a two-dimensional inverted pendulum mounted on a motor driven cart, is a very good model to describe an unstable system. The objective of our research is to keep the pendulum ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Automatic motion planning has applications in many areas such as robotics, virtual reality systems, and computer-aided design. Although many different motion planning methods have been proposed, most are not used in practice ...

(Texas A&M University, 2001)Based on a study by Bushman and Baumeister (1998), we hypothesized that high global self-esteem and high collective self-esteem should be predictive of greater aggressive. We also hypothesized that participants with high ...
-
(1982)This study presents an automated integrated circuit and printed circuit routing algorithm based on barycentric embedding. This algorithm deals with circuits which are represented as graphs. In order to utilize this barycentric ...
-
(1979)A field survey showed a definite decrease in species diversity of herbaceous vegetation beneath yaupon (Ilex vomitoria) canopy in comparison to vegetation in open areas between yaupon clumps. Several laboratory experiments ...
-
(1986)A review of time-related consumer behavior literature is given. A time use questionnaire administered to 360 business students is used to study complementarity and substitutability among activities. Bivariate correlations ...
-
