(2015-12-16)A terrorist attack using an improvised nuclear device is one of the most serious dangers facing the United States. The work presented here is an effort to improve nuclear deterrence by developing a methodology to attribute ...
-
(2022-12-13)Pyocyanin is one of the most important virulence factors in the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to antibiotics. The biotoxin facilitates the establishment of biofilms, suppression of the immune system, and cytotoxicity ...
-
(2014-12-10)A novel technology for accelerator-driven subcritical fission is being developed. A proton beam produces spallation and drives fission in a molten salt core. The motivation of the development is its capacity to destroy the ...
-
(2009-05-15)The need to tailor release-rate profiles from polymeric microspheres remains one of the leading challenges in controlled drug delivery. Microsphere size, which has a significant effect on drug release rate, can potentially ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)A large scale water test facility and a commercial CFD computer program were used to investigate labyrinth seals with rub grooves of actual size and shape found in aircraft engines. The 2-D test rig cases focused on the ...
-
(2010-07-14)Proteins need fold to perform their biological function. Thus, understanding how proteins fold could be the key to understanding life. In the first study, the stability and structure of several !-hairpin peptide variants ...
-
(2013-11-25)The Very High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (VHTR) is one of the next generation nuclear reactors designed to achieve high temperatures to support industrial applications and power generation. The Reactor Cavity Cooling ...
-
(2013-07-30)After the restriction of different halogenated fire suppressants by the Montreal Protocol, there is an urgent need to identify environmentally friendlier alternatives. In particular, several efforts have been conducted ...
-
(2014-02-19)The experimental simulation and a computational validation of a methane-cracking solar reactor powered by solar energy is the focus of this article. A solar cyclone reactor operates at over 1000 °C where the methane ...
-
(2018-07-25)Terpenes are an important and diverse group of chemicals used in many industries, including nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, alternative fuels, and personal care products. In yeast, the natural mevalonate pathway provides ...
-
(Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center; Texas &M University. Libraries, 2018)The 20L sphere is one of the standard devices accepted as an international normativity used for dust explosivity characterization. One concern about the effectiveness and reliability of this test is related to the particle ...
-
(2013-08-12)A computational and experimental study of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability is presented here for an inclined interface perturbation. The computational work is composed of simulation studies of the inclined interface RMI ...
-
(2016-05-06)Due to the increasing needs for lightweight and multifunctional materials and structures that can perform in extreme environment such as high temperature and pressure, hybrid composite laminates that are comprised of both ...
