(2013-04-08)The origin and maintenance of phenotypic variation has generated considerable interest among students of functional morphology, sexual selection and behavioral ecology. In particular, hybridization has been suggested as a ...
-
(2013-08-09)An ultra-high burnup metallic inert matrix nuclear fuel concept is being characterized and evaluated by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory based on a metal matrix fuel concept originally developed at the Bochvar Institute ...
-
(2012-02-14)Vibrissae (whiskers) are important components of the mammalian tactile sensory system, and primarily function as detectors of environmental vibrotactile cues. Pinnipeds possess the largest and most highly innervated ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)Hyolingual biomechanics and kinematics in three species of two odontocete genera were investigated to compare adaptations and performance of divergent feeding strategies. Ram and suction feeding are two ends of a continuous ...
-
(2022-12-13)Understanding of structure-function relationships is of vital importance to produce optimum materials for progression in the microelectronics and tribological fields. This dissertation focuses on the fundamental studies ...
-
(2012-07-11)Ecological theory suggests morphology should be linked to foraging mode and strategy. This study was conducted to determine the possible relationship between morphology and diet of a monophyletic group of lizards in the ...
-
(2009-05-15)Body shape affects the capacity and efficiency of swimming in fishes, and places constraints on foraging and reproductive performance. Hence, fitness components, such as aerobic swimming capacity and efficiency, can be ...
-
The focus of this research is to explore the possibility that Australasians contributed to modern indigenous South American populations during and after the time when the major peopling events of the Americas are thought ...
-
(2009-05-15)Geophysical, geochemical and geotechnical methods were used to investigate the spatial and temporal aspects of sediment distribution, accumulation, post-depositional alterations, and seafloor response and recovery to major ...
-
(2022-12-07)Bacterial cell morphology plays important roles in nutrient absorption, cell growth, and pathogenesis, so understanding the determinants of morphology has the potential to significantly improve bioproduction, drug design ...
-
(2011-08-08)The present research examined whether morphology influences word recognition independently of form-level word properties. Prevailing views attribute cross-linguistic differences in morphological processing to variations ...
-
The research objective of this project is to measure and investigate the ultra-high frequency aspects of adiabatic shear banding (ASB) during the Ti-6Al-4V chip generation process through the use of a piezoelectric-based ...
-
(2012-11-28)Rice (Oryza sativa L.) supports half of the human population. However, predominant rice consumption leads to malnutrition due to mineral deficiencies. The research goal was to support identification of genes responsible ...
-
(2012-07-16)Problem: This study identifies some issues in the definitions of US megaregions which have strongly emphasized functional relationships without considering morphological characteristics. An extensive review of the literature ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Field studies were used to characterize habitat and evaluate morphological characters of Carex glaucescens, C. joorii and C. verrucosa. Morphometric analysis of herbarium specimens along with field studies, Environmental ...
-
(2019-11-22)Several factors are responsible for the health decline currently faced by managed honey bees (Apis mellifera) worldwide, including pests, pathogens, queen failure, pesticide contamination, habitat fragmentation and nutritional ...
-
(2022-08-04)Morphology is the way that most organisms interact with their biotic and abiotic environment, by allowing them to move through space, reproduce, eat, and defend. Horned lizards of the genus Phrynosoma are distinguished ...
