(2013-09-25)Prostate cancer is the second most common form of cancer in American men. Though broad treatments are available, these often have deleterious effects on the patient. One approach which may result in a more tailored treatment ...
-
(CATENA; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2022)Despite Ethiopia’s significant livestock population, the largest in Africa, productivity is constrained by the seasonality of feed quality and quantity. Developing improved fodder production systems can contribute to poverty ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)In recent years, the enzyme telomerase has been found to be very active in human cancer cells but not in normal cells in the body. This discovery is predictable, as telomerase is responsible for maintenance of the telomeres ...
-
(1994)The first step in catecholamine biosynthesis is the hydroxylation of tyrosine to form dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). This step is rate-limiting and is catalyzed by the enzyme tyrosine hydroxylase. This enzyme binds heparin ...
-
(2009-06-09)This research identifies a gene that potentially works acetylcholine receptor protein GAR-3. We isolated nematodes (roundworm) Caenorhabditis elegans that are resistant to the drug arecoline, which stimulates behaviors ...
-
(2011-08-04)While over 500,000 bison exist today, the long-term conservation of this species is not assured because only five percent of all bison are maintained in conservation herds and genetic evidence of domestic cattle introgression ...
-
(1979)One of the types of risk encountered in petroleum investments is political risk. Political risk is the probability of changes in the business environment due to political changes. There exists a need to treat analysis of ...
-
(2015-09-16)In cancer patients, primary tumors can inhibit the proliferation of distant metastasized tumor cells. The subsequent removal of the primary tumor causes the metastasized tumor cells to regain the ability to proliferate. ...
-
(2017-05-04)We propose a photometric and spectroscopic study of merging galaxies within two recently discovered high redshift clusters at z ∼ 1.6 and z ∼ 2.0. We use imaging taken with the Hubble Space Telescope’s (HST) Wide Field ...
-
The Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC), a 60-110 MDa protein complex embedded in the nuclear envelope, functions to transport all material across the nuclear membrane. While NPC structure is studied extensively, there is still ...
-
(2011-08-15)This research utilizes the methodology of qualitative research to investigate the drinking habits and culture of two countries: Italy and the United States. The thesis highlights statistical evidence provided by the two ...
-
Recommender systems have become increasingly prevalent online within the last two decades and are used extensively on social media and networking platforms. We look at one such platform, LinkedIn, which serves the purpose ...
-
(2001)The role of anachronism (ana) protein in stem cell division of Drosophila melanogaster was examined. Synthesis of identifiable ana protein was necessary. The identifying method exploited was that of antibody tagging using ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)In order to determine whether Euro-American teachers over-perceive aggression in African-American children, peer ratings of aggression were obtained via a modified version of the Revised Class Play (Masten, Morrison, & ...
-
(2014-12-15)While maternal investment in many fish species is well studied, the effect of maternal investment on offspring quality in the sex-role-reversed pipefish Syngnathus scovelli has not yet been determined. Previous studies in ...
-
The viral illness coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected millions worldwide since its initial discovery in late 2019. After recovering from the primary viral infection, many have found themselves suffering new, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The tomato has been an agriculturally important crop for centuries. For that reason, learning about the fundamental biochemistry and physiology of the plant has been an active research area for decades and has lead to ...
-
(2007-07-14)Not all independent voters are the same. Some independents lean toward a political party and are therefore called “independent leaners.” The objective here is to uncover what forces cause independent leaners to retain some ...
