The application of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy for the detection of excitatory amino acids
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The release of excitatory amino acids (EAAs) from injured neurons has been associated with secondary injury following head trauma. The development of a rapid and sensitive method for the quantification of EAAs may provide ...
A methodology for experimentally verifying simulation models for distribution transformer internal faults
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Internal winding faults comprise 70-80% of modem transformer breakdown. In this era of deregulation, this phenomenon is likely to increase since loading transformers to their optimum capacity is becoming normal practice. ...
Genetic variation in melon root structure and Monosporascus cannonballus tolerance
(1999)
Six greenhouse and two field experiments were conducted to quantify phenotypic variation in melon (Cucumis melo L.) root structure and response to Monosporasciis cannonballus (TX 90-25) inoculation. The first experiment ...
Perception Based Character Modeling and Animation
(Texas A&M University, 1999-12)
This thesis explores how humans identify sex (male or female) and judge gender (masculine or feminine) and attractiveness of a computer animated walker. Hip and shoulder movements during the walk cycle and waist-to-hip ...
Dusky dolphins of Kaikoura, New Zealand: behavioral effects of genetic sampling and analysis of population structure
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Seasonal differences in group size, behavior, icrographics. distribution, and coloration patterns of dusky dolphins (Lacenorhynchus obscures) in Kaikoura, New Zealand, have led researchers to question whether "winter'' and ...
Indiana: the history and archaeology of an early Great Lakes propeller
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The early Great Lakes propeller Indiana was built as a combination passenger- and freight- carrying steam vessel in 1848 at Vermilion, Ohio by itinerant Lake Erie shipbuilder Joseph M. Keating. Over the span of its ten-year ...
Seismic reprocessing, interpretation and petroleum prospectivity of the East Cano Rondon Area, Llanos Basin, Colombia
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The Llanos Basin, in Eastern Colombia, is the major oil-producing province in the country. In recent years, exploration in this basin has been focused towards plays in the Llanos foothills, where proven thrust traps present ...
