(1991)We have previously shown that exposure to three brief (2 sec) 3.0 mA shocks elicits an opioid hypoalgesia, and that exposure to longer (75 sec) tailshocks elicits a nonopioid hypoalgesia in spinalized rats. The present ...
-
(1989)A great number of tract-tracing techniques are presently available for the exploration of nervous system organizations. One such method relies on the incorporation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) into the neuron, its ...
-
(1977)The septum is a cholinergic system whose fibers serve as the pacemaker for hippocampal theta rhythm. Since acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter involved, cholinergic drugs such as atropine and physostigmine should alter ...
-
(1977)The involvement of neurotransmitters in the inhibitory effect of suckling on plasma LH was investigated. The effect of suckling on the plasma LH levels was studied when the activity of the neurotransmitters, dopamine or ...
-
(1978)Neutron transmutation doped gallium arsenide samples were produced at the Nuclear Science Center at Texas A&M University. The samples were then annealed in an argon gas atmosphere for 20 minutes at temperatures between ...
-
(1985)The purpose of this study is to develop and empirically test a procedure to more effectively use the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in the evaluation of securities. The CAPM is a conceptual tool used in estimating the ...

(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)It is the task of every literary critic to determine the author's intent and the reasons for his intent with his writings when analyzing a work. Thomas Hardy deals with women in many harsh manners in his novels. His ...
-
(2012-04-20)This thesis contains two studies examining survey evaluations of public schools. Survey evaluation results provide a novel means of measuring program performance, which is of particular interest to public administration ...
-
(1977)This study was conducted under the assumption that knowing more about readers and their reading habits will enable an editor to produce a newspaper that will be better read by more people. Many suggestions are drawn from ...
-
(1979)Four horses fitted with permanent posterior ileal cannulas were assigned diets in a 4x4 Latin square experiment to measure nitrogen digestion in different segments of the digestive tract. Using a commercial protein supplement, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The use of stress waves in several civil engineering applications such as nondestructive testing of soil deposits or pavement systems has become extremely popular over the last few years. In all cases, a dynamic impulse ...
-
(1986)The inherent properties of the Operatonal Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) are used to design circuits for fundamental nonlinear applications. The OTA is a voltage controlled current source(VCCS) device in contrast to the ...

Norepinephrine mediates the effects of restraint stress on Theiler's Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Theiler's Murine Encephalomyelitis Virus (TMEV) is an important model of multiple sclerosis (MS) (Lipton, 1975). Theiler's virus induces a biphasic disease that, in the chronic phase, causes a remitting relapsing demyelination ...
-
(1994)The purpose of this paper is to determine what economic effects NAFTA could actually have on the construction industry in the State of Texas. The research presented will begin by summarizing the provisions in Volume I of ...

-
(2007-08-22)Circumferential distension of the arterial wall during the cardiac cycle regulates endothelial cell (EC) morphology and function. We have previously shown that cyclic stretching of ECs leads to activation of signaling ...
-
(1977)A numerical model of a convective storm is used to generate conditions in which the study of the growth and trajectories of hailstones is made. The model consists of a one-dimensional, time-dependent system in which adiabatic ...
-
(1994)Much research has been done concerning the effectiveness of self-management for diabetic patients. In comparison, information on how effective education techniques are in improving self-management of non insulin dependent ...
