Passive neutron techniques for the nondestructive assay of nuclear material
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Three drums containing potentially contaminated lead bricks were assayed with the Segmented Gamma Scan Neutron Assay System (SGSNAS) at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's (PNNL) Nondestructive Assay Center. The assay ...
Warner-Bratzler Shear evaluations of forty bovine muscles
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Twenty beef carcass sides varying in USDA quality and yield grades were selected from the Rosenthal Meat Science and Technology Center, Texas A&M University. Forty individual muscles were dissected from each side. The ...
A revised dosimetric model for calculation of electron dose in the small intestine
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In this study, a revised model of the small intestine (SI) was developed for electron dosimetry using Monte Carlo techniques. The model values were estimated from an anatomic and histologic review of the SI. This study ...
The synthesis and characterization of zinc(II) and copper(II) diphosphonatoalkanes
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The ability to design porous materials is a coveted asset in many areas of chemistry including heterogeneous catalysis, ion exchange, and separation science. Metal diphosphonates are one class of hybrid, inorganic/organic ...
Correlation between physical and acoustic properties in surficial sediments of the Northwest Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A high-resolution analysis of the properties of bulk density, grain density, P-wave velocity, impedance, porosity, water content, and sand/ silt/clay content was performed on 126 short cores (<120cm) associated with LATEX ...
Investigation of spark discharge processes and ignition systems for spark-ignited internal combustion engines
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Spark ignition of the air-fuel mixture at the appropriate time is important for successful flame initiation and complete combustion thereafter without unnecessary emissions. The physical and chemical reactions taking place ...
Differential activation of bovine T lymphocyte subpopulations in response to mitogen and superantigen stimulation
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This study examined the response of bovine CD4⁺, CD8⁺, and TCR γ[] T lymphocytes to activation with the mitogens concanavalin A (Con A), phytohemagglutinin (PHA), and pokeweed mitogen (PWM), and the superantigens Staphylococcus ...
Distributed, web-based microstructure database for brain tissue
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A finite element model of the cerebral cortex enables a structured visualization of its gross anatomy and provides access to the neuronal databases associated with each unite element of tissue. Partitioned by finite elements, ...
Effects of conjugated linoleic acid on cholesterol metabolism in swine
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term used to describe a mixture of all the positional and geometrical isomers of the essential fat linoleic acid. CLA is a natural by-product of ruminant metabolism and is ...
Solubilization of wellbore filtercakes formed from drill-in fluids
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Research was performed to study the degradation of filtercakes formed by water-based drill-in fluids (DIF), primarily sized-salt (SS) and sized-calcium carbonate (SCC) DIFs. The experiments to degrade DIF filtercakes ...
