Deconstructing race: the Civil Rights movement as an encounter with the Other
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This paper examines perspectives of four different leaders during the American Civil Rights era and discusses how the men employing each perspective defined and encountered the Other. One can define "the Other" as any ...
Modeling foreign economic policy in strategic setting: the automotive industry of the U.S. and Japan
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The purpose of my study is to examine how the United States and Japan interact in a strategic setting on foreign economic issues. Since relations between the two countries have been developing for several decades now, I ...
Molecularly engineering homogenous catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
A critical issue in the design of new 'Green' recoverable reusable catalyst is the separation strategies used for catalyst recovery. Using materials and solvents that are miscible at elevated temperature but phase separate ...
A comparative analysis of operational codes for King Hussein I and King Abdullah II
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
After King Abdullah II inherited the throne from King Hussein I at a very critical transition point in 1999, it became necessary for a study to rigorously examine the fundamental characteristics of each leaders' outlooks ...
Developing a temperature-sensitive plasmid to create Brucella knockout mutants
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Gene knockouts in an organism give valuable information about that gene's function. The current method for producing Brucella knockout mutants - sacB insertion followed by sucrose counterselection - is inefficient. A novel ...
The relationships between meaning & purpose in life, hope, and psychosocial development
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Existential psychology attempts to enhance psychological well-being through the awareness of meaning and purpose in life. Similarly, counseling theories based on Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development promote ...
On the relationship between brightness temperature and thunderstorm evolution
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The impact of tropical precipitation on the global energy budget has long been an important topic of investigation. To more accurately assess large-scale heating, we must first understand the small scale cloud processes ...
Benign: a screenplay
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Benign is a story set in the microscopic world of cellular respiration and reproduction. The plot is concerned with the epiphanies and adventures of Pro, a microorganism who stumbles upon a shocking conspiracy being sustained ...
Genetic diversity of Brucella abortus isolates as determined by amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Although Brucella abortus, the causative agent of brucellosis, is mainly under control in the United States, outbreaks do occur, particularly in wild animal herds. This study coupled amplified fragment length polymorphism ...
Simulation levels of detail for plant motion
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
In this paper we describe a method for simulating motion of realistically complex plants interactively. We use a precomputation stage to generate the plant structure, along with a set of simulation levels of detail. The ...
