Biophysical characterization of protein folding and misfolding.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The HPr proteins were characterized as folding by a two-state folding mechanism. Here, we present a comparison of the equilibrium and kinetic folding for the HPr protein from Bacillus subtilis, E coli and a key variant ...
Single echo acquisition magnetic resonance imaging
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The dramatic improvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan time over the past fifteen years through gradient-based methods that sample k-space more efficiently and quickly cannot be sustained, as thresholds regarding ...
Overpressure prediction by mean total stress estimate using well logs for compressional environments with strike-slip or reverse faulting stress state
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Predicting correct pore-pressure is important for drilling applications. Wellbore stability
problems, kicks, or even blow-outs can be avoided with a good estimate of porepressure.
Conventional pore-pressure estimation ...
Capital mobility and sudden stops: consequences and policy options
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation attempts in three essays to contribute to the growing body of research on the problems associated with sudden stops of capital inflows, known to have been at the heart of many recent emerging market crises. ...
Characterization of design parameters for fiber reinforced polymer composite reinforced concrete systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures results in significant repair and rehabilitation costs. In the past several years, new fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been introduced as an ...
Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide (NO) with ammonia over vanadia-based and pillared interlayer clay-based catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide (NO) with ammonia over vanadia-based (V2O5-WO3/TiO2) and pillared interlayer clay-based (V2O5/Ti-PILC) monolithic honeycomb catalysts using a laboratory laminar-flow ...
Seismic fragility and retrofitting for a reinforced concrete flat-slab structure
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The effectiveness of seismic retrofitting applied to enhance seismic performance was assessed for a five-story reinforced concrete (RC) flat-slab building structure in the central United States. In addition to this, an ...
Postmortem regulation of glycolysis by 6-phosphofructokinase in bovine muscle
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This study was conducted to assess the regulation of glycolysis by 6phosphofructokinase (PFK) during the postmortem metabolism of beef muscle. In the first experiment, M. sternocephalicus pars mandibularis samples were ...
White-tailed deer population dynamics and management on the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) numbers on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas have increased in recent years and are a cause of urban-related ...
Methodology to quantify leaks in aerosol sampling system components
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Filter holders and continuous air monitors (CAMs) are used extensively in the nuclear industry. It is important to minimize leakage in these devices and in recognition of this consideration, a limit on leakage for sampling ...
