Micro-analysis and localization of camptothecin in Camptotheca acu
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Studies are underway to increase production of camptothecin (CPT), a monoterpene alkaloid with proven anticancer properties in its natural source, Camptotheca acuminate, a tree indigenous to China. Several semi-synthetic ...
An ecological study of lymphatic cancer mortality in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study investigated environmental factors that are potentially associated with lymphatic cancer mortality in Texas. As a group, lymphatic cancers include lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma, Hodgkin's disease, other ...
The importance of quality in softwood lumber: a review
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The main purpose of this paper was to review quality in wood products. For the purpose of this paper, definitions of quality, dimensions of quality, and some past research projects related to the topic have been reviewed. ...
Method of mechanism synthesis by hybrid genetic algorithm
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The path synthesis problem for mechanical linkages still presents problems for engineers, although it has been examined for more than two centuries. This research approached the design problem as one of creating a ...
A prototype bus arrival prediction system using automatic vehicle location data
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Provision of expected arrival times of buses is regarded as very useful by bus passengers. The main advantages of such a system can be time savings, reduction in travel anxiety, and improvements in travel decisions. Several ...
The application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the detection of excitatory amino acids
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The release of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) from injured neurons has been associated with secondary injury following head trauma. The development of a rapid and sensitive method for the quantification of EAAs may provide ...
A methodology for experimentally verifying simulation models for distribution transformer internal faults
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Internal winding faults comprise 70-80% of modem transformer breakdown. In this era of deregulation, this phenomenon is likely to increase since loading transformers to their optimum capacity is becoming normal practice. ...
Dusky dolphins of Kaikoura, New Zealand: behavioral effects of genetic sampling and analysis of population structure
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Seasonal differences in group size, behavior, icrographics. distribution, and coloration patterns of dusky dolphins (Lacenorhynchus obscures) in Kaikoura, New Zealand, have led researchers to question whether "winter'' and ...
Age and growth of black drum (Pogonias cromis) from Galveston Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1992)
Digital imaging tracing technology for print media
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This thesis examines and analyzes the existing state of digital technology use in print media and the attitudes of those using the technology to develop a technology that would help prevent the unethical manipulation of ...
