(1995)Receptor subunit composition can be examined at the mRNA (gene expression) level. Profiling gene expression in acutely isolated neurons from adult animals offers a potentially powerful approach to determining GABAₐ receptor ...
-
(1991)This thesis investigates the problem of reading women's and ethnic literature by exploring three American novels written by ethnic women: Beloved (1987), by African-American novelist Toni Morrison; Love Medicine (1984), ...

Gender-specific modulation of cocaine-induced place preference by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)In contemporary North-American culture, two frequently combined drugs possessing abuse liability are cocaine and "ecstasy" (+/- 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine [MDMA]). Each drug is a stimulant acting on brain dopamine ...
-
(1983)Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita texana when artificially crossed produce fully fertile hybrids. Thus interspecific genetic exchange is possible. An attempt was made to monitor actual gene flow between these two taxa under ...
-
(2008-05-21)Trichoderma virens, an avirulent plant symbiotic fungus ubiquitous in soils worldwide, is remarkable as it induces systemic resistance in plants, enhances plant growth, and acts as a mycoparasite of plant-pathogenic ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Although Brucella abortus, the causative agent of brucellosis, is mainly under control in the United States, outbreaks do occur, particularly in wild animal herds. This study coupled amplified fragment length polymorphism ...
-
(1983)Aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase, EC 2.1.3.2) allosterically modulates de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis in the enteric bacteria. This modulation differs in Escherichia coli and Serratia marcescens, with CTP allosterically ...
-
(2011-08-08)Even though cyanide is highly toxic, it is commonly found in industrial waste generated by several industries such as metal plating and mining. This chemical is hazardous for many organisms, including mammals, because it ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Circadian biological clocks are found in virtually all organisms and function to generate daily rhythms. The circadian clock (built by one or more oscillators) controls rhythmicity in a wide range of processes, ranging ...
-
(1986)Various models for the strain consequences of thrust sheets moving over lateral ramps have been analyzed. Direct relationships have been established between different kinds of strain and quantities such as the lateral ramp ...
-
(1977)This paper examines the personal relationships of the lesser aristocracy and the upper bourgeoisie as pictured in three of Theodor Fontane's novels: L’Adultera, Frau Jenny Treibel, and Effie Briest. It was found that in ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The logic is intuitive: as nations' interests become more global, as international trade and world economies become more complexly linked, the costs of war to nations should increase as well. Moreover, as this increasing ...
-
(1982)Research has been generated by the desire to make the Global Positioning System (GPS), a highly accurate navigation system using satellites, accessible to the civilian user at reasonable cost. Research up to this point has ...
-
(1997)This study examined how African American students' attitudes and beliefs change as they align with ingroups and differentiate from outgroups upon entering a predominantly Anglo environment. Eighty-five African-American ...
-
(1995)To increase the density of memory cells in DRAM, it is desired to reduce the area of the dielectric. However, the capacitance has to meet a certain specification to store an adequate, reliable charge. A reduction in the ...
-
(1998)This study was a preliminary investigation in which porcine derived Salmonella typhimurium was selected for resistance to the equivalent of 200 and 400 grams of chlortetracycline per ton of swine feed. These resistant ...
-
The Growth Regulating Effects of Fungicides on Adventitious Root Formation of Chrysanthemum Cuttings (1984)Ten commercial fungicides were applied to cuttings of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat 'Bright Golden Anne' to determine their effect on adventitious root formation. Thiram, Captan, Botran, and Banrot inhibited root elongation ...
-
(1995)Consumer demands are forcing all segments of the meat industry to decrease fat and increase leanness in products. "The National Survey of Lamb Carcass Cutability Traits" (Tatum et al., 1989) reported that a large proportion ...
-
(2012-04-26)Drosophila melanogaster larvae have historically been targeted as favorable models for the study of chemosensation and chemosensory learning due to the relative simplicity of their neuroanatomy. Sugars are traditionally ...
-
(2012-07-11)This study examined the influence of handedness and reading/writing direction on the facing and sequencing of drawn objects and/or scenes and on orientation preference in viewing figures and photographing objects. Right- ...
