Inter-Kingdom Signaling Interactions in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Infections
(2011-10-21)
The overall goal of this research was to understand the role of inter-kingdom signaling in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract from the perspective of both the ...
A Study to Determine the Effectiveness of Agriculture/Natural Resource Program Area Committees on the Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program Planning Process
(2011-10-21)
Volunteers play a critical role to Extension by assisting with program planning, provide input and guidance in what direction local Extension programs should take, and provide assistance with program implementation and ...
Piezoelectric Artificial Kelp: Experimentally Validated Parameter Optimization of a Quasi-Static, Flow-Driven Energy Harvester
(2011-10-21)
Piezoelectric energy harvesting is the process of taking an external mechanical input and converting it directly into electrical energy via the piezoelectric effect. To determine the power created by a piezoelectric energy ...
Investigation into the Emissions and Efficiency of Low Temperature Diesel Combustion
(2011-10-21)
As global focus shifts towards the health and conservation of the planet, greater importance is placed upon the hazardous emissions of our fossil fuels, as well as their finite supply. These two areas remain intense topics ...
A Comprehensive Evaluation of Reservoir Inflow and Wellbore Behavior in Intelligent Wells
(2011-10-21)
Intelligent well technology is a relatively new technology that has been adopted
by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Because of its
complexity, accurate modeling of the reservoir and wellbore ...
Characterization Of The Local Electrical Environment In An Electrically-guided Protein Patterning System Incorporating Antifouling Self-assembled Monolayer
(2011-10-21)
In earlier research in our lab, the manipulation of microtubules on gold patterned silicon wafers was achieved by E-beam lithography, Poly (ethylene glycol) self assembled monolayers (PEG-SAMs) and electrophoresis. To ...
Simulating the Effect of Water on the Fracture System of Shale Gas Wells
(2011-10-21)
It was observed that many hydraulically fractured horizontal shale gas wells
exhibit transient linear flow behavior. A half-slope on a type curve represents this
transient linear flow behavior. Shale gas wells show a ...
Design and Optimization of Condenser and Centrifuge Units for Enhancement of a Batch Vacuum Frying System
(2011-02-22)
A batch vacuum frying system, which processes fruits and vegetables, includes a frying pan, a surface-condenser, and a vacuum pump. With health and safety issues in mind, this research focused on developing a modified ...
The Interactions and Exchanges of Metal-bound Sulfur Containing Ligands with Various Transition Metals
(2011-02-22)
The treble clef binding motif of the zinc finger metalloprotein utilizes N2S2 binding sites. Whereas other N2S2 metalloproteins function in catalytic roles, zinc fingers serve mostly a structural element, although there ...
Economic Feasibility of Converting Landfill Gas to Natural Gas for Use as a Transportation Fuel in Refuse Trucks
(2011-02-22)
Approximately 136,000 refuse trucks were in operation in the United States in 2007. These trucks burn approximately 1.2 billion gallons of diesel fuel a year, releasing almost 27 billion pounds of greenhouse gases. In ...
