The effect of parental involvement as perceived by parents and teachers of the Navasota Elementary and John C. Webb Middle Schools (Navasota ISD, Texas)
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to address three questions regarding parental involvement: 1. What perceptions do the parents of children at the Navasota Elementary School and John C. Webb Middle School in the Navasota ISD ...
Mechanisms of a-adrenergic enhancement of the myogenic response
(1992)
Mechanisms of interaction between α-adrenergic and myogenic mechanisms were studied in the intact microcirculation of the rat cremaster muscle. Anesthetized rats were enclosed in an airtight box which could be pressurized ...
Dynamic accuracy considerations in Flash A/D converters
(1992)
Flash conversion remains a necessary choice for high-speed Analog-to-Digital (A/D) conversion, despite its many disadvantages. Such conversion, by nature, involves 2^N sampling elements for an N bit converter. The differences ...
Genome size evolution in the class Mammalia
(1992)
In this study, intra- and interspecific genome size variation was assessed among species within the Order Chiroptera. Outgroup taxa from the Orders Dermoptera and Primates also were examined. This study additionally addressed ...
Performance modeling of automated manufacturing systems with unreliable machines and random processing times
(1992)
Reliability plays a very important role in the overall performance of flexible manufacturing systems (FMS). Failure of a single component can easily propagate downtime throughout the entire system, giving rise to inferior ...
The characterization of the spike protein and a comparison of two pathotypes of avian infectious bronchitis virus
(1992)
Eleven monoclonal antibodies (MAb) were produced to the Gray stain of IBV. Six MAbs neutralized for the Gray strain, and three of these MAbs were IgGl[ak], conformation-dependent and serotype specific. The other three ...
An interface model for building energy performance simulation in an integrated computer-aided design environment
(1992)
Computer-aided building design (CABD) has been very diversified since the design process encompasses so many decision making steps by architects. However, the segregated design decision making process frequently prevents ...
NF-1 and octamer binding proteins in Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus transcription
(1992)
The Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) is currently one of the best understood steroid hormone inducible systems. The hormone response element (HRE), which functions as a hormone-inducible enhancer has been well characterized, ...
Synthesis and efficacy of dibenzofuran-based diacids and amino acids designed to nucleate parallel and antiparallel beta-sheet formation
(1992)
The synthesis of 4,6-dibenzofurandipropionic acid 18 and 4-(N-tertbutyloxycarbonyl-2-aminoethyl-)-6-dibenzofuranpropionic acid 19, designed to nucleate parallel and antiparallel (β-sheet formation respectively, was ...
A principal component approach to analyzing simulation output
(1992)
A new procedure, called the principal component method, is developed to handle the problem of data correlation in simulation output analysis. The method is derived from matrix diagonalization theorems, which allow for an ...
