Cloning and characterization of the Aspergillus nidulans spdA gene
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Using a PCR product amplified from Aspergillus nidulans DNA as a probe, the A. nidulans spdA gene, coding for a putative spermidine synthase, was isolated. Alignment of its deduced amino acid sequence with those of other ...
Hierarchical implementation of a wireless communications system
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Personal communications devices, such as the cellular phone, currently dominate the field of wireless communications. Product specifications such as weight, battery life, and transmission capacity pertain to consumer and ...
Implementation and effects of a baroclinic contribution to ADCIRC
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
This thesis presents a baroclinic circulation model constructed around the ADCIRC hydrodynamic model. ADCIRC is a finite element flow model developed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers to model large domains ...
Audio compression with non-uniform modulated complex lapped transform
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In the past 10 years, advances in audio compression have been tremendous. Lapped Orthogonal Transforms (LOT) and psychoacoustic properties have significantly improved performance of transform audio coders. As a result, ...
Basic design and hydrodynamic analysis of three-column TLP and comparison with ISSC TLP
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Three-column TLP is a new design variation of the common four-column TLP. The objective of this study is to find the hydrodynamic feasibility of the three-column TLP. This accomplished by comparing the three-column design ...
Effect of rotational grazing strategies and prescribed burning on cattle diet quality
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
An experiment is being conducted at the Waggoner Ranch near Vernon in North Texas to evaluate the responses of the rolling plains to a series of different managements. From this main experiment an offshoot study was ...
Export of manure sources of phosphorus and nitrogen through turfgrass sod
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
In search of manure disposal methods that decrease environmental impacts and benefit dairy producers, this study examines the possibilities of using turfgrass as a potential "crop" for removing P in dairy (Bos taurus) ...
An adaptive planner based on learning of planning performance
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Planning in complex domains can be computationally very expensive. One way of improving planning efficiency is to make use of past experience so as to avoid repetition of planning effort. This is the idea behind the ...
Determination of the occurrence of Arcobacter butzleri in beef and dairy cattle from Texas using two isolation methods
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Arcobacter butzleri is a pathogenic bacterium that has been found in dairy cattle, pigs, poultry and humans. As of this writing, there are no data to report the prevalence of occurrence of A. butzleri in beef cattle. Also, ...
The permissibility of using somatic cell nuclear transfer techniques on nonhuman animals
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Somatic cell nuclear transfer is the process of cloning that produced Dolly. In order to clone an animal using somatic cell nuclear transfer, a donor cell is collected from an animal that one wants to clone and placed in ...
