Irrigation Water Source: Effect on Soil Nutrient Dynamics and Microbial Community Composition
(2011-08-08)
Maintaining a supply of potable water is a growing concern in the USA, particularly in many southern and western states. One method of sustaining water supply in these areas is the use of greywater for commercial and ...
Identification of Novel Virulence Genes of Salmonella enterica Using an Array Based Analysis of Cistrons Under Selection
(2011-08-08)
Pools of mutants of minimal complexity but maximal coverage of genes of
interest facilitate screening for genes under selection in a particular environment. Prior to
this work, mutants were generated by random transposon ...
Examination of Teacher Efficacy and Culturally Responsive Beliefs of Alternative Certified and Traditionally Certified Hispanic Teachers Serving Hispanic Students in High Priority Schools
(2011-08-08)
The purpose of this mixed method study was to examine teacher self efficacy and culturally responsive self efficacy of in-service Hispanic teachers teaching in high priority schools which serve large percentages of students ...
Assessment of U.S. Agriculture Sector and Human Vulnerability to a Rift Valley Fever Outbreak
(2011-08-08)
Foreign animal disease outbreaks can cause substantial economic losses. Policy makers need information on both the vulnerability of the food supply to disease epidemics and the impacts of alternative protection actions. ...
Fabrication of Annealed Proton-Exchanged Waveguides for Vertical Integration
(2011-08-08)
There is a drive for improving the surface uniformity of optical waveguide devices in the photonics lab. This report focuses on the exploration of annealed proton exchange (APE) waveguide fabrication on lithium niobate ...
Influence of Bull Traits and Bull to Female Ratio on Reproductive Perfromance in Beef Females and of Nutrition During Gestation on Calving Difficulty in Primiparous Beef Females
(2011-08-08)
The current study involved two experiments that were conducted at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Uvalde, TX (semi-arid environment) from 2006 to 2008. In experiment one, Bonsmara bulls ( n = 39; ...
Initial Member Selection and Covariance Localization Study of Ensemble Kalman Filter based Data Assimilation
(2011-08-08)
Petroleum engineers generate reservoir simulation models to optimize production and maximize recovery. History matching is one of the methods used to calibrate the reservoir models. During traditional history matching, ...
Study of Compact Tunable Filters Using Negative Refractive Index Transmission Lines
(2011-08-08)
Today's microwave circuits, whether for communication, radar, or testing systems, need compact tunable microwave filters. Since different microwave circuit applications have radically different size, power, insertion loss, ...
Hazard Analysis of Mortality Among Twins and Triplets in the United States: From 20 Weeks Gestation Through the First Year of Life
(2011-08-08)
Infant mortality is viewed as an important indicator of the health and social conditions of a population. However, the infant mortality rate in the United States is estimated to be much lower than those of other developed ...
Stented Artery Biomechanics: A Computational and In Vivo Analysis of Stent Design and Pathobiological Response
(2011-08-08)
Vascular stents have become a standard for treating atherosclerosis due to
distinct advantages in trauma and cost with other surgical techniques. Unfortunately, the
therapy is hindered by the risk of a new blockage (termed ...
