Water alternating enriched gas injection to enhance oil production and recovery from San Francisco Field, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The main objectives of this study are to determine the most suitable type of gas for a water-alternating-gas (WAG) injection scheme, the WAG cycle time, and gas injection rate to increase oil production rate and recovery ...
Blockage of IL-6 secretion in glia by lead and mercury
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Mercury (Hg) and lead (Pb) are toxic to the development and function of the central nervous system (CNS). Interleukin-6 (IL 6) produced by astroglia protects neurons from damage in many progressive degenerative disorders. ...
The formulation of a nutraceutical bread mix using sorghum, barley, and flaxseed
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Sorghum bran, barley flour, and flaxseed were substituted at different levels to achieve an acceptable bread formulation. The sorghum bran was substituted at 5-10% of the total flour while barley flour and flaxseed remained ...
Isolated perfused working heart preparation for in vitro biomechanical studies
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The isolated perfused working heart preparation has been an established method of investigation for larger animals. However, because of technical, economic and ethical issues, this methodology needs to be extended for use ...
Cotton response to over-the-top trifloxysulfuron sodium applications
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Envoke® (common name: trifloxysulfuron sodium), is a new sulfonylurea herbicide developed by Syngenta for over-the-top application to cotton. A two-year study was conducted with concurrent field and greenhouse experiments ...
Transport synthetic acceleration methods for one-dimensional deterministic transport problems
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
We construct and analyze three transport synthetic acceleration schemes. Our goal is the development of a rapidly convergent acceleration scheme that is robust and computationally efficient even for thick, diffusive ...
Identification of dominant antigens recognized by sera of sheep and mice experimentally infected with Coxiella burnetii
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Q fever is a disease caused by the rickettsial organism Coxiella burnetii that affects mostly humans, cattle, sheep, and goats. Little is known about the epitopes of the organism that are recognized by the host after ...
Testosterone and 5HIAA in dogs with intraspecific aggression
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Intraspecific aggression is a common problem in dogs, with such aggression typically due to dominance, fear, and/or territoriality. Some dogs appear to perceive the mere presence of another dog as a challenge or threat. ...
INAA and distribution patterns of Classic Mimbres Black-on-white vessels during the Classic period
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Distribution patterns of Classic Mimbres Black-on-white (Style III) bowls and jars were determined by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) to identify vessel movement between geographically defined regions and ...
The feasibility of ethanol production in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Agricultural interests across Texas are looking at the possibility of an ethanol industry in Texas. Continued conflict in the Middle East, the ban of methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) in California, and low commodity ...
