Development of PCR primers for the specific amplification of unique DNA sequences of Peronospora sparsa
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
A dual culture of Peronosclerospora sorghi and sorghum callus was established as a model system for a dual culture of Peronospora sparsa on rose callus. Though the identity of the fungus could not be verified microscopically, ...
Sensory analysis of acidified dairy products using response surface methodology
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Modified processing techniques to reduce the time required to manufacture and to improve the general characteristics of dairy products have been developed. Direct acidification is a method to produce acidified milk products. ...
Pollen tube growth and seed set in protogynous buffelgrass
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Buffelgrass, Pennisetum ciliare (L.) Link syn=Cenchrus ciliaris L., is a warm-season perennial forage grass that is widely grown throughout the arid tropics. Because buffelgrass florets are small and perfect-flowered, ...

(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The preservation of coral reef communities has become a major concern to scientists and environmentalists due to the increase in coral diseases and reef degradation on a worldwide basis. As a result of coral mortality and ...
Regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 in Ah responsive and Ah nonresponsive human breast cancer cells by 17 B-estradiol and 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This study focused on the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on insulin-like growth factor binding protein-4 (IGFBP-4) protein secretion and MRNA expression. In human breast cancer cells, 17 O-estradiol ...
Qualification of concrete mixtures for fast track construction applications
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Fast track construction is a special type of construction where construction methods and activities are planned to minimize the construction duration. Since the duration of the hardening period of concrete is largely ...
A brief discourse on credit risk

This thesis examines the political and economic motives behind the responses of the Indian Government and nongovernmental organizations to the Union Carbide chemical disaster that occurred on December 3, 1984 in Bhopal ...
A study of the acid molten globule state of the histidine-containing proteins (HPr) from Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The salt-induced transition of the low pH forms of the histidine-containing proteins (HPr) from Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and two mutants from the ecHPr protein, K45E and F22W by Na2SO4 and NaCl indicate these ...
