A landscape approach to reserving farm ponds for wintering bird refuges in Taoyuan, Taiwan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Man-made farm ponds are unique geographic features of the Taoyuan Tableland.
Besides irrigation, they provide refuges for wintering birds. The issue at hand is that
these features are disappearing and bring with it the ...
Testing for spatial correlation and semiparametric spatial modeling of binary outcomes with application to aberrant crypt foci in colon carcinogenesis experiments
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
In an experiment to understand colon carcinogenesis, all animals were exposed to a carcinogen while half the animals were also exposed to radiation. Spatially, we measured the existence of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), namely ...
The hydroxyl radical initiated oxidation of unsaturated hydrocarbons in the troposphere: a theoretical and experimental approach
(2009-05-15)
Isoprene is the dominant non-methane organic compound emitted by vegetation
into the atmosphere, with a global emission rate of ~ 500 Tg yr-1. Its oxidation serves as
a major source of ground level ozone in North America ...
Capital flows to Latin American countries: effects of foreign direct investment and remittances on growth and development
(2009-05-15)
The significant restructuring of international capital flows to developing
countries – in particular to Latin American countries – observed in the last quarter
century has generated significant research in the area to ...

(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mathematics enrichment activity used to improve the mathematics performance of students relative to participation in the State Agricultural Mechanics Career ...
Evolution of depositional and slope instability processes on Bryant Canyon area, Northwest Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Bryant and Eastern Canyon systems are located on the northwest Gulf of Mexico, and they are characterized by a very complex sedimentological history related to glacioeustatic cycles, river discharges, and interactions of ...
Studies on the nucleocapsid protein of infectious bronchitis virus
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Because phosphorylation of the infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) nucleocapsid (N) protein may regulate its multiple roles in viral replication, the dynamics of N phosphorylation were examined. In the infected cell, N was ...
A crossfield literature review of the HIV and AIDS impacts on the Ugandan workforce through the HRD lens
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study performed a literature review of five crossfields (economic,
educational, medical, political, and socio-cultural) utilizing human resource
development (HRD) models, tools, definitions, and theories to understand ...
Studies of the chemical mechanisms of flavoenzymes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Flavocytochrome b2 catalyzes the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate. Primary deuterium and solvent kinetic isotope effects have been used to determine the relative timing of cleavage of the lactate OH and CH bonds by the ...
Examining the therapeutic compliment with African-Americans: a counseling technique to improve the working alliance
(2009-05-15)
The working alliance has received consistent empirical support relating the
construct to psychotherapy outcome. There is no empirical research on any particular
techniques that may prove useful at increasing the level of ...
