Analysis of Haplotype Structure in the Bovine Major Histocompatibility Complex
(2011-02-22)
The goal of this project was to identify and characterize polymorphic markers
spanning regions of the bovine major histocompatibility complex (BoLA) to analyze
patterns of genetic variation and haplotype structure across ...
Non-Linear Drying Diffusion and Viscoelastic Drying Shrinkage Modeling in Hardened Cement Pastes
(2010-07-14)
The present research seeks to study the decrease in diffusivity rate as relative
humidity (RH) decreases and modeling drying shrinkage of hardened cement paste as a
poroviscoelastic respose. Thin cement paste strips of 0.4 ...
The Novice Teacher's Experience in Sensemaking and Socialization in Urban Secondary Schools
(2010-10-12)
Teacher attrition is costly for districts, both financially and in terms of student
achievement. Districts often address teacher attrition by focusing on recruitment
practices or by offering induction support for novice ...
Ecohydrological Planning for The Woodlands: Lessons Learned After 35 Years
(2010-10-12)
The Woodlands, Texas, is a 27,000-acre new town created with Ian McHarg's
ecohydrological planning approach. The Woodlands is the best example of ecologically
based new town planning in the United States during the 1970s. ...
Discrete Element Modeling of Influences of Aggregate Gradation and Aggregate Properties on Fracture in Asphalt Mixes
(2010-07-14)
Aggregate strength, gradation, and shape play a vital role in controlling asphalt mixture performance. Many studies have demonstrated the effects of these factors on asphalt mixture performance in terms of resistance to ...
Coastal Wave Generation and Wave Breaking over Terrain: Two Problems in Mesoscale Wave Dynamics
(2010-07-14)
Two problems in mesoscale wave dynamics are addressed: (i) wave-turbulence
interaction in a breaking mountain wave and (ii) gravity wave generation associated
with coastal heating gradients.
The mean and turbulent structures ...
A Novel Design Testing the Effects of Static and Dynamic Equibiaxial Stretch Gradients on Fibroblast Cell Migration
(2011-02-22)
The study of mechanobiology and the cellular response to the mechanical environment plays a vital role in the understanding of the atherogenesis and the treatment of the disease state through interventions such as stent ...
Application of Advanced Laser and Optical Diagnostics Towards Non-Thermochemical Equilibrium Systems
(2010-07-14)
The Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) research at Texas
A and M University is concerned with the experimental characterization of non-thermal and
non-chemical equilibrium systems in hypersonic (Mach ...
M-anomaly Analyses and its implications for the architecture of the upper oceanic crust
(2010-07-14)
My dissertation research consists of two themes: (a) the analysis of Middle
Jurassic - Early Cretaceous marine magnetic anomalies (M-anomalies) in order to
construct a comprehensive geomagnetic polarity timescale and (b) ...
Using Ungulate Occupancy to Evaluate a Biosphere Reserve Design in Tambopata, Peru
(2010-10-12)
Conservation areas in tropical forests protect the most diverse and threatened ecosystems on the planet. In the Amazon, ungulates are important to forest structure and diversity, but are also food for rural people. I ...
