-
(1998)In both Guy de Maupassant's Le Horla and Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, narrators of questionable reliability claim to encounter other-worldly beings, leaving the reader to wonder whether the apparitions are real or ...
-
(1997)In industry today magnetic bearings are slowly replacing existing bearings because of its many advantages like less wear and environmentally clean. However, with all the advantages of MTB there are negative aspect in ...
-
(1991)The ability to develop a fiber optic current sensor utilizing the magnetostrictive characteristics of nickel (Ni) has been proven. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer, which had a 2. 5-μm layer of Ni 15-cm long on its sensing ...
-
(1985)A computer model was developed to simulate the steering and gear shifting functions of a tractor. The model was used to test the use of audio and visual operator feedback methods used in machine monitors. Five operators ...
-
(1983)The cattle genome contains a gene for vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) sensitivity, possibly coding for a VSV receptor molecule. This was demonstrated by a VSV challenge to cattle-hamster hybrid clones segregating cattle ...
-
(1991)Physical mapping of the bend loci in HPV 16 may lead to an improved understanding of the transcriptional regulation of this genome. Subcloning small fragments of HPV 16 into pUC18 and pCY7, followed by electrophoretic ...
-
(1993)Human cDNA probe H1. 6 (clone 10-1) encoding cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) was used to map the bovine homolog of CFTR. Using a panel of bovine X rodent hybrid somatic cells, the homolog was ...
-
(1986)As one surveys the coast of the Yucatan, even today, one of the most impressive sights is the Mayan ruins of Tulum. Compared to the great city of Seville by Spanish explorers, the town and its largest structure "EI Castillo" ...
-
(1994)This circuitous route seems to have danced neatly around the question: What is the nature of Marxist socialism? What is the nature of the Nietzschean Aristocratic Radicalism? Very well, then, let me answer Marxist socialism ...
-
(1982)The mass of ¹⁶Ne has been measured by the reaction ²⁰Ne(⁴He, ⁸He) ¹⁶Ne at a beam energy of 129 MeV. The target gas of isotopically enriched ²⁰Ne (>99.5% ²⁰Ne) was contained in a gas cell with Havar windows. Reaction products ...
-
(1980)Bromine diffusion coefficients are determined by measuring the weight change of a small rotating zinc hemisphere in aqueous bromine, salt solutions. The diffusion coefficients are 2.70x10⁻⁶ cm²/s and 1.99x10⁻⁶ cm²/s for ...
-
(1984)Captive collared peccary maternal-nursling interactions were quantitatively described by determining the influence of weeks post partum, time of day, and diet on the relative frequency of occurrence, mean duration, and ...
-
(1979)The purpose of this paper is to study the vibration of a wire by incorporating resistance to bending into the model leading to the string equation. Included here is a derivation of a fourth order, partial differential ...
-
(1989)Three-dimensional binary represenations of continuous objects are analyzed for shape properties. Theoretical results are descibed that suggest a method for developing three-dimensional shape measures. New shape measures ...
-
(1984)This paper considers models of physical phenomena, in particular models from population dynamics. The main model of concern is a combination of two previously developed models: the model of non-linear age dependent population ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Educating and preparing the leaders of tomorrow for the challenges they will face is the most important job of teachers today. It is up to those who pass laws and make decisions regarding how this task will be carried out ...
-
(1983)There now exist sufficient numbers of recovered marine and ophiolitic samples to correlate their measured velocities and densities with marine seismic survey data in order to determine the mean density of the oceanic crust. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2001)This present study examined the relationship between Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, attitudes about sexuality, number of incidents of lifetime interpersonal violence (directly experienced, witnessed, and ...
-
(1995)Current estimates state that approximately 60,000 tons of spent fuel (with burn-ups of 33,000 MW-days/MTU) currently await shipment to the repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. This amount is likely to double before the ...
-
(1989)The goal of this project is to measure the forward scattered light from a small sphere at angles down to zero degrees. By cancelling the unscattered illumination beam with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, it was possible to ...
