The Effect of Graded Levels of Dietary Starch on Cecal Environment in Horses
(2010-07-14)
Eight cecally fistulated geldings were used in a randomized 4 x 4 Latin square design to observe the effect varying levels of dietary starch had on cecal environment. The 4 treatment rations contained 2 g starch/kg BW (Diet ...
Can Problem Solving Affect the Understanding of Rational Numbers in the Middle School Setting?
(2010-07-14)
In this study, problem solving provided deeper meaning and understanding
through the implementation of a structured problem solving strategy with the teaching of
rational numbers. This action-research study was designed ...
CHANGES IN SANDSTONE DISTRIBUTIONS BETWEEN THE UPPER, MIDDLE, AND LOWER FAN IN THE ARKANSAS JACKFORK GROUP
(2010-07-14)
This study is a statistical analysis of the sandstone distribution within the
Arkansas Jackfork Group which is a passive margin fan complex. Passive margin fan
systems are typically associated with long fluvial transport, ...
Investigations on the use of main group metal complexes of salen ligands as catalysts for the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Current industrial processes for the production of polycarbonates, a thermoplastic valued for commercial applications, leave much to be desired from an environmental viewpoint. Research into alternative methods for production ...
An investigation into the contamination of WSR-88D VAD wind profile output by migrating birds
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The VAD Wind Profile (VWP), a time-height display of winds computed by the National Weather Service's WSR-88D radar, is known on occasion to have errors at night during the fall and spring seasons. Several studies, such ...
Iterative receivers for OFDM systems with dispersive fading and frequency offset
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The presence of dispersive fading and inter-carrier interference (ICI) constitute the major impediment to reliable communications in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Recently iterative (``Turbo'') ...
COLLABORATIVE DESIGN PEDAGOGY: A NATURALISTIC INQUIRY OF ARCHITECTURAL EDUCATION
(2010-07-14)
This research examines interviews conducted with more than a dozen authorities in architectural education on collaborative methodologies utilized in the design studio and identifies factors that inhibit and facilitate the ...
Theoretical Studies of Structures and Mechanisms in Organometallic and Bioinorganic Chemistry: Heck Reaction with Palladium Phosphines, Active Sites of Superoxide Reductase and Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase, and Tetrairon Hexathiolate Hydrogenase Model
(2010-07-14)
The electronic structures and reaction mechanisms of transition-metal complexes
can be calculated accurately by density functional theory (DFT) in cooperation with the
continuum solvation model. The palladium catalyzed ...
Identification of Concrete Incompatibilities Using Cement Paste Rheology
(2010-07-14)
The complex interaction between cement and chemical/mineral admixtures in concrete mixtures sometimes leads to unpredictable concrete performance in the field which is generally defined as concrete incompatibilities. Cement ...
UNDERSTANDING FORCES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO PROTEIN STABILITY: APPLICATION FOR INCREASING PROTEIN STABILITY
(2010-07-14)
The aim of this study is to further our understanding of the forces that contribute
to protein stability and to investigate how site-directed mutagenesis might be used for
increasing protein stability. Eleven proteins ...
