(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Throughout the history of film and animation two-dimensional paintings have been used as inspiration for films and other animated works of art. The goal of this thesis is to use the visual imagery of artist Freydoon ...
Frequency domain photon migration measurements: a method to size powders and detect active pharmaceutical ingredients in blending operations
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Stringent rules and legal interpretations continuously encourage the pharmaceutical industry to innovate effective and practical methods to ensure the safety of its products to consumers. Most recently the final blending ...
Thermoregulation in Steller sea lions: an experimental approach
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The availability of baseline thermal flux data is important for testing hypotheses of endangered species such as the Steller sea lion (Eumetopias jubatus), whose numbers have declined since the 1960s by more than 80% in ...
Communication and its effects on perceptions of agriculture in agricultural education courses versus non agricultural education courses
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The relationship between communication and agriculture is long standing and continues to expand. By understanding the relationship between the two variables we can nurture the relationship so that agriculture may be a ...
Study of plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of boron-doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin films and the application to p-channel thin film transistor
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The material and process characteristics of boron doped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique (PECVD) have been studied. The goal is to apply the ...
Dietary modifications of lipid metabolism in canine plasma during gestation, lactation, and the neonatal period
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
A study was done to investigate and better understand dietary modifications of canine lipid metabolism during gestation, lactation, and the neonatal period. Sexually intact, clinically normal female dogs were bred to the ...

An assessment of the ability of quercetin to inhibit colon carcinogenesis
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Quercetin, one of the most widely consumed flavonoids in fruits and vegetables, purportedly reduces cancer incidence. Colon cancer is the second leading cause of death due to cancer in the United States. To establish ...
Investigating the growth of the Texas cattle feeding industry and the possible need for additional slaughter capacity
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
Losses suffered by Texas feedlots in the fourth quarter of 2001 and the first half of 2002 warranted an investigation into the trends in the Texas cattle industry and the causes behind them. It is hypothesized that tight ...
Understanding denitrification with stable isotope measurements of N2: proof of concept study
(Texas A&M University, 2004)
The biologically mediated removal of nitrogen from estuarine and shallow coastal waters was investigated using a new method for the determination of N₂ isotope ratios. This method employs the use of a chromatographic ...
