In The Lonely Crowd, David Riesman proposes the distinction between inner- and other-directed people. Inner-directed people have core values and are internally driven. Contrast this with the other-directed individual who ...
Prediction of turbulent flow and local heat transfer in internally cooled turbine airfoils: the leading edge region
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
A multiblock numerical method has been employed for the calculation of three-dimensional flow and heat transfer in the leading edge of a large-scale impingiment-cooled turbine airfoil. The finite-analytic method solves ...
Research on feline in vitro maturation and the cell cycle
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The feline meiotic cycle is poorly understood. In order to elucidate the events occurring during meiosis in the cat oocyte, a study of the levels of Maturation Promoting Factor (MPF) and MAP Kinase (MAPK), enzymes thought ...
Population structure of spotted seatrout, Cynoscion nebulosus, in Texas bays and estuaries as revealed by analysis of microsatellite DNA
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Variation in nuclear-encoded microsatellite loci was examined among 162 spotted seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) sampled from three localities in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) and one locality along the southeastern ...

Safety relief valve sizing: comparison of two-phase flow models to empirical data
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The proper sizing of safety relief valves is an important issue in chemical process safety. Many emergency relief scenarios require consideration of two-phase flow conditions. However, two-phase flow involves complex ...
Social influence, evolutionary theory, and symmetry
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Perceptions of attractiveness for symmetrical and asymmetrical stimuli were investigated. Participants were randomly assigned to one of two conditions in which they either discussed the stimuli or engaged in a distraction ...
