Endografts, Pressure, and the Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
(2010-07-14)
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are an expansion in diameter of the
abdominal aorta and their rupture is a leading cause of mortality. One of the treatments
for AAA is the implantation of an endograft (also called a stent ...
Structural and Functional Investigations of Conformationally Interconverting RNA Pseudoknots
(2010-10-12)
The biological function of RNA is often linked to an ability to adopt one or more
mutually exclusive conformational states or isomers, a characteristic that distinguishes
this biomolecule from proteins. Two examples of ...
Nanocomposite Membranes for Complex Separations
(2010-10-12)
Over the past few decades there has been great interest in exploring alternatives to conventional separation methods due to their high cost and energy requirements. Membranes offer a potentially attractive alternative as ...
Fostering Innovative Capacity via Organizational Reward Systems: The Case of Faculty Collaboration
(2010-10-12)
The purpose of this study is to reveal, through the use of case study methodology, how
faculty collaboration may foster the development of intellectual capital and how organizational
reward systems mediate this process. ...
Spectroscopic Investigations of Selected Cyclic and Bicyclic Molecules
(2010-10-12)
Several cyclic molecules along with two bicyclic molecules were investigated
using infrared (IR), Raman, ultraviolet (UV) absorption, fluorescence excitation (FES),
and single vibronic level fluorescence (SVLF) ...
Extraction of Spin Polarization of Bulk and Measurement of Transport Properties of Thin GdxSi1-x Near the Metal-Insulator Transition
(2010-07-14)
Since the early 1960s, Abrikosov-Gorkov theory has been used to describe superconductors with paramagnetic impurities. Interestingly, the density of states resulting from the theoretical framework has to date only been ...
Binational collaboration in recovery of endangered species: the Mexican wolf as a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The goal of this inductive study was to identify factors that facilitate and inhibit binational collaboration in the recovery of endangered species in the northern Mexico borderlands, focusing on the Mexican wolf (Canis ...
THE EFFECTS OF ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION AND SANITIZERS IN THE REDUCTION OF PATHOGENS AND ATTACHMENT PREVENTION ON SPINACH
(2010-07-14)
The effects of electron beam (e-beam) irradiation and sanitizers in the reduction
of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella counts and attachment prevention on
spinach was studied. Survival of these pathogens in spinach ...
Strategic Surveillance System Design for Ports and Waterways
(2010-07-14)
The purpose of this dissertation is to synthesize a methodology to prescribe a
strategic design of a surveillance system to provide the required level of surveillance for
ports and waterways. The method of approach to this ...
