(2009-05-15)Standard-Cell-library-based design ow is widely followed in the Application Specific Integrated Circuit(ASIC) industry. Most of the realistic cell libraries are geometrically spaced introducing significant sparseness in ...
-
(2022-11-23)Aggregation of pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase (PylRS) has proven problematic for expression of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) in proteins. C. M. alvus PylRS (CMaPylRS) is a highly soluble PylRS with a shorter N-terminal ...
-
(2010-07-14)The Property Specification Language (PSL) is an IEEE standard which allows developers to specify precise behavioral properties of hardware designs. PSL assertions can be embedded within code written in hardware description ...
-
(2020-12-02)Glucagon governs hepatic glucose production (HGP) by triggering glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The p38α MAPK (p38α) is activated by glucagon to promote hepatic glucose production (HGP), but underlying mechanisms have ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The endocrine system, specifically relating to sex hormones, and genetic material can be targets of environmental contaminants. Environmental contaminants in the Rio Grande region may originate from industrial or agricultural ...
-
(2017-05-05)Graphical processing unit (GPU) can support multiple operations in parallel by executing it on multiple thread unit known as warp i.e. multiple threads running the same instruction. Each time miss happens at private cache ...
-
(2013-11-26)This thesis studies the problem of content distribution in wireless peer-to-peer networks with selfish nodes. In this problem a group of wireless nodes need to exchange a set of files over a lossless broadcast channel. ...
-
Pain Associated with Invisalign Versus Clear Traditional Brackets: A Randomized, Prospective Trial (2015-05-12)The purpose of the present study is to compare the pain levels, analgesic consumption, and sleep disturbances associated with Invisalign aligners (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) and traditional fixed appliances at ...
-
(2012-07-16)We utilize a simple instrumental (response-outcome) learning task to measure spinal plasticity in the isolated spinal cord. Peripheral uncontrollable nociceptive input has been shown to disrupt spinal instrumental learning ...
-
(2015-10-27)In this research study we explored the topic of bringing aesthetic characteristics from a seascape oil painting into 3D computer graphics. By applying the idea of barycentric shaders, we proposed a new shading workflow that ...
-
(2018-04-12)The objectives of this study were to 1) assess whether extended aging periods for the top sirloin were necessary to improve consumer perception of tenderness, and 2) evaluate the impact of freezing of top sirloin butts ...
-
(2017-12-07)The objective of this study was to determine if consumer satisfaction improves by blade tenderizing today’s more inherently tender beef. Paired USDA Choice top sirloin butts (n = 20 total pieces) were collected from 10 ...
-
(2018-11-28)Beef loin, strip loin steaks from Texas and northern states (Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska) and from three quality grade groups were chosen for this study: (1) Top Choice (Modest and Moderate marbling scores and representative ...
-
(2020-05-27)Large mammal communities are impacted by environmental changes that challenge conservation efforts. We can better predict responses to these ongoing changes if we understand responses that have been preserved in the ...
-
(2023-08-21)The primary objective of this dissertation is to explore the dynamic processes, their sensitivities and responses to global climate change within complex ocean margin environments. The first study is based on sediment from ...
-
(2014-08-27)Carbonate precipitation can be either promoted or inhibited by microbial processes in different redox zones. It is therefore possible for basin redox evolution to indirectly control early carbonate diagenesis and modify ...
-
(2015-07-17)This project is the first comprehensive analysis of fluted projectile points found across arctic North America and encompasses three levels of analysis that increase in scope geographically, methodologically, and theoretically. ...
-
(2013-04-24)Shatsky Rise is oceanic plateau in the northwest part of the Pacific Ocean, and the formation of Shatsky Rise is poorly known. To get a better understanding of the formation Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP) Expedition ...
-
(2013-01-09)High Arctic permafrosted soils represent a massive sink in the global carbon cycle, accounting for twice as much carbon as what is currently stored as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, with current warming trends ...
-
(2015-07-27)Paleotemperature proxies enable scientists to reconstruct past ocean temperatures from sediment recovered in deep-sea cores. This dissertation takes an in-depth look at two proxies, Mg/Ca ratios of planktonic foraminifera ...
