Radiation Detection using Integrated Circuits
(2016-07-27)
The research objective of this dissertation is to evaluate the capability of ‘radiation’ integrated circuits (RICs) to serve as a new type of radiation detection medium. Designed at Texas A&M University, the RIC contains ...
Regulation of the Nitrogen Fixation Genes in the Heterocystous Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. Strain PCC 7120
(2012-02-14)
Many multicellular cyanobacteria produce specialized nitrogenfixing heterocysts. During diazotrophic growth of Anabaena (Nostoc) sp. strain PCC 7120, a regulated developmental pattern of single heterocysts separated by ...
Mechanistic Model Validation of Decline Curve Analysis for Unconventional Reservoirs
(2020-04-20)
The primary objective of this work is to provide the validation and ranking of numerous decline curve analysis models. From the validation cases analyzed in this research best practice guidelines for each of the decline ...
Designing An Interplanetary Autonomous Spacecraft Navigation System Using Visible Planets
(2012-07-16)
A perfect duality exists between the problem of space-based orbit determination from line-of-sight measurements and the problem of designing an interplanetary autonomous navigation system. Mathematically, these two problems ...
Selective Strong-Field Enhancement and Attenuation of Excitation and Ionization with Short Laser Pulses
(2015-05-12)
The coherent control of atomic energy level population is important for several areas physics and engineering including fluorescent spectroscopy, resonantly enhanced multiphoton ionization, harmonic generation, remote ...
Electrolytic Methods as a Cost and Energy Effective Alternative of Harvesting Algae for Biofuel
(2012-08-30)
Process variables of electrolytic technology to reduce the energy consumption of harvesting Nonnocloropsis salina were investigated including electro-coagulation, electro-floatation, and electro-flocculation. Electro-coagulation ...
Exploring Physiological Measures for Prediction and Identification of the Redline of Cognitive Workload
(2015-08-11)
Research suggests that physiological measures such as breath rate (BR), heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), skin conductance response (SCR), and electroencephalography (EEG) tend to be real-time indicators of ...
The Role of Long Noncoding RNAs in Cancer and Microbiota-derived Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligands
(2016-12-06)
LncRNAs are a group of non-coding RNAs containing >200 nucleotides and these RNAs have no significant protein coding potential. In the past 10-15 years the role of lncRNAs in cancers have been demonstrated, however, their ...
Hardware Acceleration of Electronic Design Automation Algorithms
(2010-07-14)
With the advances in very large scale integration (VLSI) technology, hardware is going
parallel. Software, which was traditionally designed to execute on single core microprocessors,
now faces the tough challenge of taking ...
Elucidating the Mechanism of Enzymes Utilized During the Bacterial Degradation of Lignin in the Protocatechuate 4,5-Cleavage Pathway
(2019-10-21)
Lignin is the most abundant renewable aromatic in the world that has great potential as a sustainable source of monomeric units for the production of bioplastics. However, the chemical and biological processing of lignin ...
