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 ...
Effects of High Nighttime Temperature and Role of Plant Growth Regulators on Growth, Development and Physiology of Rice Plants
(2010-07-14)
Seasonally high nighttime temperatures (HNT) along the United States Gulf
Coast and in regions of similar climate, during the critical stages of development, could
reduce rice yield and quality. To study the effects of HNT ...
Principal Components Analysis for Binary Data
(2010-07-14)
Principal components analysis (PCA) has been widely used as a statistical tool for the dimension
reduction of multivariate data in various application areas and extensively studied
in the long history of statistics. One ...
The Construction of a Gossypium AD-genome-wide Comprehensive Reference Map Based on Diverse Data Resources
(2010-07-14)
Integration of two or more genomic maps provides a higher density of markers and greater genome coverage than can be obtained with the resources available for a single mapping study. Map integration is important in any ...
Regional Differences in Corn Ethanol Production: Profitability and Potential Water Demands
(2010-07-14)
Through the use of a stochastic simulation model this project analyzes both the
impacts of the expanding biofuels sector on water demand in selected regions of the
United States and variations in the profitability of ethanol ...
Social Interactions and We-Intentions for Agrivisitors’ Service Encounters
(2010-10-12)
This study addresses how agrivisitors' social interactions affect satisfaction and,
in turn, revisit intention. Adopting social exchange theory and resource theory, the study
proposes that social interactions with service ...
Optimization of Single and Layered Surface Texturing
(2010-07-14)
In visualization problems, surface shape is often a piece of data that must be shown effectively. One factor that strongly affects shape perception is texture. For example, patterns of texture on a surface can show the ...
A MOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF PROTEIN TRAFFICKING IN THE VERTEBRATE RETINA: IMPLICATIONS FOR INTRAFLAGELLAR TRANSPORT AND DISEASE
(2010-07-14)
Vertebrate photoreceptors are highly specialized sensory neurons that utilize a
modified cilium known as the outer segment to detect light. Proper trafficking of
proteins to the outer segment is essential for photoreceptor ...
Characterizations of Cation/H+ Antiporters from Arabidopsis and Zebrafish
(2010-07-14)
To maintain optimal cytosolic Ca2+ concentrations, cells employ three distinct
strategies: 1) tightly regulated influx of Ca2+; 2) efficient efflux of Ca2+ from the cell; 3)
sequestration of Ca2+ in organelles. Ca2+efflux ...
Microtubule Patterning and Manipulation Using Electrophoresis and Self-Assembled Monolayers
(2010-07-14)
We developed new methods for controlling and studying microtubules (MTs) outside the
complex workings of the living cell. Several surface treatments for preventing MT
fouling on surfaces were analyzed and, for the first ...
