The Impact of an Experiential Learning Course on the Transfer of Knowledge
(2011-10-21)
Experiential education has impacted many classrooms across the United States since its inception. Experiential learning, for this study, is defined as the process of learning by experiences. For this study a specific course ...
Silicon-Incorporated Carbon Spheres As Anode Material for Lithium-ion Batteries
(2015-11-30)
In this study, a porous silicon-incorporated carbon material is studied as anode material in Lithium-ion batteries. This material is synthesized with carbonization, spray-pyrolysis and magnesiothermic reduction, from sucrose ...
Linear Diagnostics to Assess the Performance of an Ensemble Forecast System
(2011-10-21)
The performance of an ensemble prediction system is inherently flow dependent.
This dissertation investigates the flow dependence of the ensemble performance with
the help of linear diagnostics applied to the ensemble ...
An Epigenetic Basis to the Etiology of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders
(2015-12-02)
Observations from a number of independent laboratories indicate that ethanol has the capacity to act as a powerful epigenetic disruptor and potentially derail the process of cellular differentiation. The aim of this ...
Processes Influencing the Diversity of Middle Permian Brachiopods in the Bell Canyon Formation of the Delaware Basin (West Texas, Guadalupe Mountains National Park)
(2011-10-21)
A fundamental question of long standing in the study of life on Earth is, “Why
are there so many species?” This question concerns the distribution of and relationships
among species in the present day, but also requires ...
A Structural and Kinetic Study into the Role of the Quaternary Shift in Bacillus stearothermophilus Phosphofructokinase
(2011-10-21)
Bacillus stearothermophilus phosphofructokinase (BsPFK) is a homotetramer that is allosterically inhibited by phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which binds along one dimer-dimer interface. The substrate, fructose-6-phosphate ...
BT2, a BTB Scaffold Protein, Mediates Responses to Multiple Biotic and Abiotic Signals in Arabidopsis
(2011-10-21)
We previously described BT2, a BTB/POZ domain containing protein, as an activator of telomerase in Arabidopsis thaliana. In the current study, I present evidence of its interesting roles in mediating multiple hormone, ...
Essays on Firm Growth and Survival as a Fortune 500 Firm
(2011-10-21)
In this dissertation, I develop frameworks and models capturing the effects of marketing capital and R and D capital on firm growth and sustained membership in the Fortune 500 cohort. Drawing on the resource-based view ...
The Intercultural Development of Aspiring Leaders at Texas A and M
(2011-10-21)
As we continue to work toward a better understanding of global issues and
intercultural sensitivity, educators must identify areas where we can facilitate positive
change in ourselves and in our students. This descriptive ...
A CPU-GPU Hybrid Approach for Accelerating Cross-correlation Based Strain Elastography
(2011-10-21)
Elastography is a non-invasive imaging modality that uses ultrasound to estimate the elasticity of soft tissues. The resulting images are called 'elastograms'. Elastography techniques are promising as cost-effective tools ...
