Expression of Candidate Genes for Horn Growth in Early Bovine Development
(2011-02-22)
Bovine horns develop primarily after birth and the presence or absence of horns
is due to a single gene. It has been reported that the horn bud appears in the bovine
embryo at d 60 of gestation. Our hypothesis is that ...
What in the World are Possible Worlds?
(2010-01-16)
Ted Sider writes that "many are impressed with the utility of possible worlds in linguistics
and philosophy", and this is true, in particular, of those with an interest in modal
logic. However, in the midst of the marvelous ...
Effect of Corrosion on the Seismic Response of a Single-Bent, Reinforced Concrete Bridge
(2010-07-14)
The effect of corrosion on a single-bent, reinforced concrete (RC) bridge subject to
seismic loading is the primary focus of this research. This work attempts to determine
the effects of decreasing rebar diameter and ...
Evaluation of Hot Water Wash Parameters to Achieve Maximum Effectiveness in Reducing Levels of Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and coliforms/Escherichia coli on Beef Carcass Surfaces
(2010-07-14)
This study measured and compared different temperatures and dwell times of hot water treatment on the reduction of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium on beef carcass surfaces. Two different types of beef ...
The Necessity of Spanish Speaking Education in Texas A&M University's Department of Construction Science
(2010-07-14)
This study investigates the importance the Spanish language has on the construction industry. Due to its highly concentrated Spanish populations, Texas construction sites are filled with Spanish speakers. This creates a ...
Effects of Dietary Magnesium Status on Indices of Muscular Dysfunction in Exercising Horses
(2011-02-22)
Throughout the performance horse industry, the occurance of various muscle
disorders is common and can be detrimental to the performance and longevity of equine
athletes. Research has revealed effects of diet manipulation, ...
Development of a Low NOx Burner System for Coal Fired Power Plants Using Coal and Biomass Blends
(2010-01-16)
The low NOx burner (LNB) is the most cost effective technology used in coal-fired power plants to reduce NOx. Conventional (unstaged) burners use primary air for transporting particles and swirling secondary air to create ...
Thermoelastic Properties of Particle Reinforced Composites at the Micro and Macro Scales
(2010-01-14)
Particle reinforced composites are widely used in tires, heat exchangers, thermal barrier coatings and many other applications, as they have good strength to weight ratio, excellent thermal insulation, ease of manufacturing ...
Analysis of estrone sulphate, testosterone, and cortisol concentrations around time of ejaculation and potential correlation to sexual behavior and sperm characteristics in stallions
(2010-07-14)
In the stallion, inconsistent sexual behavior and variable semen quality are
common. This reproductive variability has been attributed to differences in circulating
hormone concentrations. In order to further examine this ...
Ultimate Limit State Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns for Use in Performance-Based Analysis and Design
(2010-10-12)
The design of reinforced concrete structures for extreme events requires accurate
predictions of the ultimate rotational capacity of critical sections, which is dictated by
the failure mechanisms of shear, hoop fracture, ...
