Effects of prenatal energy supplementation and prenatal ans prebreeding trace mineral/vitamin E supplementation on calf health and reproductive performance on beef cows
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Forty-two d prior to the start of the experiment, 67 multiparous cross-bred beef cows were assigned to one of two supplement groups based on body condition score (BCS). Moderate condition cows (BCS = 5.5 ± .10) received ...
Reactor materials study of EBR-II and BN350
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The objective of this research is to go through the technical review of how the body of information relating to the in-reactor behavior of structural materials of Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) and BN350 are ...
The Twilight Prince: creation and analysis of an interactive electronic children's book
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
This thesis presents a working prototype of an interactive electronic children's book titled The Twilight Prince. This product and the analysis of the creative and technical process involved in its development are designed ...
Two experiments for measuring specific viscoelastic cohesive zone parameters
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
A micromechanical model for a viscoelastic cohesive zone has been previously formulated and based on a continuum mechanics model of the damage zone ahead of the crack tip in a polymer solid. The scale of the cohesive zone ...
Patterns of habitat use by fishes associated with Sargassum mats in the Gulf of Mexico, with an emphasis on the greater amberjack (Seriola dumerili)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Distribution and abundance of fishes associated with Sargassum mats in the NW Gulf of Mexico were examined off northern (Galveston) and southern (Port Aransas) Texas from May-August, 2000. A total of 37 species (17 families) ...
Role of midgap states in the inelastic tunneling between a d-wave superconductor and a normal metal
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Midgap states are a special type of quasiparticle states in a d-wave superconductor which are bound to any non-{n,0,m} surface (or interface) and have essentially zero energy with respect to the Fermi energy. We investigate ...
Predicting the past: archaeological predictive modeling in Central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Currently there is a debate raging among archaeologists regarding the origin and timeframe of the first inhabitants of the New World. Clovis archaeological sites are currently the oldest widely accepted occupation, and ...

This thesis analyzes Christina Rossetti's second devotional prose work, Seek and Find. Specifically, it examines her articulations of the Tractarian doctrines of Analogy and Reserve. In order to establish her familiarity ...
The isolation and characterization of a peptide synthetase gene from Trichoderma virens
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma has a long history of biological control, protecting numerous plant species against a broad spectrum of soilborne pathogens. Additionally, many species are significant sources of industrial ...
An analysis of agricultural education faculty compensation systems
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The American Federation of Teachers (2001) noted that to ensure all students are successful, teacher salaries must be commensurate with teacher performance. Studies, however, have shown this is not occurring. In order ...
