PROPERTIES OF THE TOMBUSVIRUS MOVEMENT PROTEIN AND RNAi SUPPRESSOR THAT INFLUENCE PATHOGENESIS
(2010-01-16)
Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) provides a good model system to investigate
molecular virus-host interactions in plants. P22 and P19 proteins encoded by TBSV
contribute to multiple invasion-associated functions. Green ...
Ethylbenzene dehydrogenation into styrene: kinetic modeling and reactor simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A fundamental kinetic model based upon the Hougen-Watson formalism was
derived as a basis not only for a better understanding of the reaction behavior but also
for the design and simulation of industrial reactors.
Kinetic ...
Three essays on business failure: causality and prediction
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation investigates three issues on business failure causality and prediction. First, a nonlinear model for mathematical programming based discriminant analysis is studied. This study proposes a nonlinear model ...
Design and Implementation of High Performance Algorithms for the (n,k)-Universal Set Problem
(2010-01-14)
The k-path problem is to find a simple path of length k. This
problem is NP-complete and has applications in bioinformatics for
detecting signaling pathways in protein interaction networks and for biological subnetwork ...
Characterization and applications of microfluidic devices based on immobilized biomaterials
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Microfluidic biosensors and bioreactors based on
immobilized biomaterials are described in this dissertation.
Photocrosslinkable hydrogel or polymeric microbeads
were used as a supporting matrix for immobilizing E.coli ...
Aerosol Condensational Growth in Cloud Formation
(2010-10-12)
A code for the quasi-stationary solution of the coupled heat and mass transport
equations for aerosols in a finite volume was developed. Both mass and heat are
conserved effectively in the volume, which results in a ...
Faculty perceptions about attributes and barriers impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs) at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, Legon
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The purpose of this study was to determine faculty perceptions about factors
impacting the adoption and diffusion of Web-Based Educational Technologies (WBETs)
at the University of Cape Coast and the University of Ghana, ...
ASSOCIATION AMONG FLUID, GRAIN INTAKE AND WEIGHT GAIN IN HOLSTEIN BULL CALVES
(2010-07-14)
This study was conducted to determine water intake. Forty-four Holstein bull calves were evaluated to investigate the effects of starter intake, body weight, temperature and time to predict water intake. A model was developed ...
Marble Transport in the Time of the Severans: A New Analysis of the Punta Scifo a Shipwreck at Croton, Italy
(2009-05-15)
Five ancient shipwrecks have been found in the sea off Croton, in southern Italy,
each carrying a marble cargo composed of massive blocks, column shafts, and smaller
artifacts. Three of them were located while surveying ...
Analysis of Topological Chaos in Ghost Rod Mixing at Finite Reynolds Numbers Using Spectral Methods
(2011-02-22)
The effect of finite Reynolds numbers on chaotic advection is investigated for two
dimensional lid-driven cavity flows that exhibit topological chaos in the creeping flow
regime. The emphasis in this endeavor is to study ...
