PPARs: Potential Mechanisms Regulating Blood Lipid and Lipoprotein Concentrations at Rest and Following Exercise in the Obese
(2011-10-21)
Obesity is associated with greater rates of cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia and dysfunctional lipid metabolism. Exercise may provide an effective therapeutic tool to ameliorate dyslipidemia. However, how exercise ...
Consumers' Perceptions of Animal-Based Food Products and Advertisements
(2015-05-12)
Grocery sales circulars influence consumers’ purchasing decision, but limited research has been conducted on them. The purpose of this study was to discover current advertisement trends for animal-based food products then ...
I. A1,3-Strain Enabled Retention of Chirality During Bis-Cyclization of β-Ketoamides: Asymmetric Synthesis and Bioactivity of Salinosporamide A and Derivatives II. Optimization of an Organic Syntheses: Asymmetric Nucleophile-Catalyzed Aldol- Lactonization of Aldehyde Acids
(2010-11-17)
The potential of human 20S proteasome inhibitors continues to be of interest for
anticancer chemotherapy and the recent FDA approval of bortezomib (Velcade)
validates the proteasome as a target for cancer chemotherapy. ...
Stability of High-Speed, Three-Dimensional Boundary Layers
(2015-04-02)
Boundary-layer experiments are performed in the low-disturbance, Mach 6 Quiet Tunnel (M6QT) at Texas A&M University. The experiments are focused specifically on investigating the physics of two three-dimensional phenomena ...
Process Improvements for Gas Barrier Thin Films Deposited Via Layer-By-Layer Assembly
(2015-05-04)
Thin layers of aluminum have provided good oxygen barrier for food packaging for many years, but aluminum coatings can easily crack, are completely opaque, and are not environmentally friendly. One gas barrier solution for ...
Simulation and Application of Light Scattering Properties for Scatterers with Large Aspect Ratios
(2014-12-02)
For scatterers with axial or N-fold rotational symmetry, the T-matrix is one of the most efficient techniques to obtain the scattering properties. Extended boundary condition method (EBCM) and invariant imbedding T-matrix ...
Cooperation among Stakeholders for a Preventative and Responsive Maritime Disaster System: The Mitigation of an Arctic Wicked Problem
(2015-05-11)
In a marine region once relatively remote, the melting Arctic ice cap creates opportunities for many in the international marine community. Shipping companies now have much shorter, more commercially viable sea routes ...
Using Decline Curve Analysis, Volumetric Analysis, and Bayesian Methodology to Quantify Uncertainty in Shale Gas Reserve Estimates
(2012-11-30)
Probabilistic decline curve analysis (PDCA) methods have been developed to quantify uncertainty in production forecasts and reserves estimates. However, the application of PDCA in shale gas reservoirs is relatively new. ...
Where Does Your Intent Go and How It Behaves? A Robustness Study of Intent Reachability and Handling in Android Systems
(2015-05-05)
In Android systems, inter-process communication relies heavily on intent, which can be understood as a message between apps. However, (i)intents can be hijacked when they are transmitted from senders to receivers. Even if ...
Changing the School Year: The Texas Experience in Moving to a Twelve-Grade Academic Program
(2014-07-13)
Today’s American public school student begins schooling with the anticipation of kindergarten, and perhaps some preschool, followed by twelve grades. The senior year is the twelfth grade, the traditional exit year for most ...
