(1978)This experiment is designed to determine the earliest stage at which mouse embryos lacking zonae pellucidae, when transferred to recipient uteri, produce viable offspring. Donor mice were superovulated using Pregant Hare ...
-
(1987)Many businesses are not persuaded that advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) will bring large gains in manufacturing efficiency. The businesses, however, which rely upon traditional financial decision tools may be in ...
-
(1998)The Big Thicket National Preserve provides an excellent backdrop to test whether there is a correlation between economic impact and preservation. Conflicts over resources and land use blocked the preservation of the park ...
-
(2006-08-16)While the collapse of communist rule and process of transitioning to democracy in the former-Soviet Union and its numerous satellite states certainly warrants the wealth of attention received, by no means does this signal ...
-
(1977)Computers have become an integral part of accounting practice but have been ignored in the area of accounting education. This study proposes to determine the feeling of the accounting profession in both the public and ...
-
(1990)A single-cylinder diesel engine was operated with both a baseline fuel and a additive-modified fuel to determine the variation in particulate emissions between the two fuels. Exhaust gases were sampled through a constant ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Eukaryotic transcription is a complex and highly regulated process. The adenovirus major late (AdML) promoter, a model promoter for transcription by RNA polymerase II (pol II), contains a binding site for the transcriptional ...
-
(2008-08-24)Chromosomal DNA in our cells is wrapped around a histone protein octomer like thread on a spool, forming a structure called a nucleosome. Series of nucleosomes form the nuclear chromosomes found in all eukaryotic organisms. ...
-
(2012-04-12)I conducted experiments to determine whether anonymity affects the gap between the willingness to accept (WTA) and willingness to pay (WTP) in endowment effect games. Plott and Zeiler (2005) theorize complete anonymity is ...
-
(1997)This study investigated how international students from both collective and individualistic cultures change attitudes toward their ethnicity, dating and social relationships, and academics as a result of spending one ...
-
(1990)The type and amount of a person's dietary fatty acids have been shown to affect the tendency towards thrombogenesis. Diets which are high in polyunsaturated fats tend to reduce the risk of thrombogenesis, and long-chain ...
-
(2006-08-16)This study examines how the genders of both student writers and their peer tutors affect the dynamics of writing tutoring sessions and influence the student writers’ subsequent evaluations of their peer tutors. Even though ...
-
(2011-04-20)Reducing the frequency of supplementation is an effective means of reducing cost. However, little research has been conducted evaluating the level of supplemental protein required with infrequent supplementation. Therefore, ...
-
(1989)I am investigating the effects of light on the accumulation of mRNA for the atpF and rbcL chloroplast genes. Light exposure affects the expression of some plant genes. Chloroplasts are genetically semi-autonomous when ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Edema, increased tissue fluid volume, may be caused by impaired lymphatic system return. This edema formation inhibits organ function. We hypothesized that increased lymphatic fluid protein concentration would cause ...
-
(1987)Regression diagnostics detect outliers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of measurement error on the detection process of the regression diagnostic, the hat diagonals. The hat diagonals are analyzed ...
-
(1977)A metabolism trial was conducted using eight crossbred Brahman steers to determine the effect of grain processing on protein solubility and digestibility of sorghum. Sorghum grain evaluated was a commercial hybrid grown ...
-
(1977)A key point in the regulation of pyrimidine biosynthesis by prokaryotic organisms is the enzyme Aspartate Transcarbamylase. This enzyme catalyzes the reaction of carbamyl phosphate plus aspartate to yield carbamyl aspartate, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Over 400,000 Americans have multiple sclerosis (MS) and doctors can not discover the cause of the disease or how to stop the progressive deterioration. The symptoms of MS are caused by destruction of the myelin sheath, ...
-
(2012-04-26)Protein kinases are enzymes which phosphorylate other proteins and often play critical regulatory roles in cellular metabolism. We studied the effects of deletion of the TDA1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. TDA1 encodes ...
