(2010-10-12)The aggregate base layer is a vital part of the flexible pavement system. Unlike rigid pavements, the base layer provides a substantial contribution to the load bearing capacity in flexible pavements, and this contribution ...
-
(2017-12-12)The impact of radiation-induced effects on the properties of alloys fabricated using additive manufacturing (AM) was evaluated through the implementation of ion beam irradiation testing followed by electron backscatter ...
-
(2009-05-15)To quantify primary side aerosol retention, an Eulerian/Lagrangian approach was used to investigate aerosol transport in a compressible, turbulent, adiabatic, internal, wall-bounded flow. The ARTIST experimental project ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Controlled-source, azimuthal, time-domain, electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys were conducted over a schist formation with uniformly striking, nearly vertical foliation. Direct current electrical resistivity and seismic ...
-
(2015-05-12)Production of hydrocarbons from low-permeability shale reservoirs has become economically feasible thanks in part to advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Together, these two techniques help to create ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The problem of evaluating permeability anisotropy in the Tilje Formation, Heidrum field, offshore mid-Norway, has been investigated by the Statoil Research Centre by a detailed combination of the geological and petrophysical ...
-
(2017-09-01)Reliable evaluation of rock mechanical properties in organic-rich mudrocks is challenging due to their heterogeneity, anisotropy, and complex lithology. It is important to assimilate variable elastic properties and ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The backlimb trishear velocity field is compared to that of mechanical models of fault-bend folds in an incompressible anisotropic viscous media to determine the relationship between the magnitude and orientation of ...
-
(2014-08-05)Seismic wave simulation in realistic Earth media with full wavefield methods is a fundamental task in geophysical studies. Conventional approaches such as the finite-difference method and the finite-element method solve ...
-
(2016-12-15)A major challenge that is currently facing the mechanics of materials community is the accurate prediction of fracture in advanced ductile materials. The intertwined effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors make ductile ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)To understand protein stability and the mechanism of protein folding, it is essential that we gain a better understanding of the ensemble of conformations that make up the denatured state of a protein. The primary goal ...
-
(2009-05-15)Turbidite reservoirs in deep-water depositional systems, such as the oil fields in the offshore Gulf of Mexico and North Sea, are becoming an important exploration target in the petroleum industry. Accurate seismic reservoir ...

Studies of the relationship of protein structure to regulation and catalysis in tyrosine hydroxylase (Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Tyrosine hydroxylase (TyrH) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of the catecholamine neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. Phosphorylation of Ser40 of rat TyrH activates the enzyme by ...
