Development of rapid methodology utilizing immunomagnetic separation for the detection of Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in foods
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The use of immunomagnetic separation (IMS) to supplant lengthy traditional enrichment procedures currently required by many rapid foodborne pathogen detection methods was investigated. IMS was combined with enzyme-amplified ...
Effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation on urinary eicosanoids in canine chronic renal failure
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Changes in renal eicosanoids may be an index of disease progression or response to therapy in chronic renal failure (CRF). This study measured urinary thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations in ...
The relationship between lymphatic cysts and lymphatic lacunae in the endometrium of mares
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Fifteen quarter horse-type mares were examined by transrectal ultrasound for the presence of endometrial lymphatic cysts. From each mare an endometrial biopsy 'was taken from the mid-body of the uterus and the base of ...
Effects of environmental agents on social behavior of geriatric residents in an institution dining room
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Because of the current low birth rate and advances in medicine, nutrition, and general living conditions, it is predicted that by the year 2040 over 21 % of the population will be aged 65 years or older (1990, U.S. Census). ...
Improved correlations for retrograde gases
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Three correlations for retrograde gases have been developed. First, a correlation was developed that relates the composition of a retrograde gas-condensate mixture at any depletion stage to the composition at its dew point ...
A goal directed simulation method using fuzzy cognitive mapping
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A goal directed simulation method using fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM-GDS) is partially developed. The FCM-GDS system can be used for the analysis and experimental design associated with traditional manufacturing studies. ...
The grounding of the scientific endeavor: Armstrong's inference to the best explanation and Van Fraassen's concept of symmetry
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The hegemony of the Inference to the Best Explanation as the rule which scientists follow in theorizing has been challenged in recent debates in philosophy of science by the concept of Symmetry. Inference to the Best ...
Structural development and major unconformities of the NAM Conson basin, offshore Vietnam
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Two major unconformities, Middle Miocene (15.5 Ma) and Top of Basement (66.5 Ma), were identified and mapped within the Nam Conson basin using 2700 km of migrated, multifold, seismic reflection data. The results show that ...
Decreasing the leachibility of boron wood preservatives
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The use of boron in wood preservatives has been growing since the 1930s, primarily in various boric acid/borax mixtures. Boron preservatives have several advantages for application as wood preservatives including a broad ...
Flash polymerization of silicone oils using gamma radiation for conserving waterlogged wood
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
A series of experiments were designed to develop a collection of irradiation parameters for polymerizing a variety of molecular weights of polymer siloxanes for the purpose of bulking and conserving waterlogged archaeological ...
