Physiological Effects of Rhythmic Melatonin on Peripheral Cells in a Superfusion System
(2007-09-17)
The immediate effects of melatonin from the pineal gland on peripheral cell types such
as astrocytes, hepatocytes, and cardiac myocytes are relatively unknown. My research
includes designing a superfusion or flow-through ...
AN INVESTIGATION OF SEDIMENT TRANSPORT BEHIND THE TEXAS CITY DIKE
(2007-09-17)
In 1915, the Texas City Dike was built to block the sediment from migrating into the Texas City ship channel. The Texas City Dike is proximal to the flood tidal delta of the Bolivar Roads entrance, and it appears that the ...
Comparison of cellulose consumption between Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) under laboratory conditions
(2007-09-17)
We are interested in determining the effects of subterranean termite soldier ratios on the overall cellulose consumption of Coptotermes formosanus and Reticulitermes flavipes. In nature, Coptotermes formosanus is found in ...
ANALYSIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF A PROGRAMMABLE LOW-DROPOUT REGULATOR
(2007-09-17)
As portable electronic devices become a part of daily life, it creates a huge market for electronic components for those battery driven devices. Low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulator is an important part that provides steady ...
A NEW ANALYTICAL MODEL FOR STRESS CONCENTRATION AROUND HARD SPHERICAL PARTICLES IN METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES
(2007-09-17)
This analytical model predicts the stress concentration around an elastic, spherical particle in an elastic-plastic metal matrix using strain gradient plasticity theory and a finite unit cell. The model reduces to the ...
The Infection of Freshwater Cyanobacteria by Their Phages
(2007-09-17)
Phage lysis of cyanobacteria could significantly influence nutrient availability in aquatic systems. We examined the requirements of phage infection in freshwater cyanobacteria
and identified several factors that affected ...
JOINT INVOVLEMENT AND MOVEMENT AMPLITUDE IN TWO-SEGEMENT MOVEMENTS
(2007-09-17)
The purpose of this research is to identify the effect of varying constraints on the planning and organization of multijoint movements, specifically how amplitude and movement direction affect the planning and organization ...

The purpose of this research is to explore the effects of certain factors on the success of globalization of U.S. minority and women owned small businesses. Research in this area to date has addressed minorities and women ...
CHARACTERIZATION OF MYCOSIN FAMILY PROTEASES, NOVEL DRUG TARGETS OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS
(2007-09-17)
Tuberculosis is the world’s leading cause of death by infectious disease. Antibiotic resistance and HIV co-infection is increasing at an alarming rate. Mycosins-1-5 are subtilisin-like serine proteases within the periplasmic ...
SYMBOLS OF CONSERVATISM AT A TIME OF UNCERTAINTY
(2007-09-17)
Traditional research on political parties suggests that there are certain routes that each
party should take to secure support for their policies. Republicans have found success by
