Phosphorus and Other Nutrient Disappearance from Plants Containing Condensed Tannins Using In Situ and Mobile Nylon Bag Techniques
(2011-02-22)
Plants containing condensed tannins (CT) represent an alternative feed resource
for ruminants. However, limited information regarding nutrient disappearance from
these plants is available. Two experiments were conducted ...
Directed Evolution of Phosphotriesterase for Stereoselective Detoxification of Organophosphate Nerve Agents
(2011-02-22)
The bacterial phosphotriesterase (PTE) from Pseudomonas diminuta possess
very broad substrate specificity for organophosphorus compounds. It is capable of
hydrolyzing several insecticides including paraoxon and various ...
Two Problems in Computational Wave Dynamics: Klemp-Wilhelmson Splitting at Large Scales and Wave-Wave Instabilities in Rotating Mountain Waves
(2011-02-22)
Two problems in computational wave dynamics are considered: (i) the use
of Klemp-Wilhelmson time splitting at large scales and (ii) analysis of wave-wave
instabilities in nonhydrostatic and rotating mountain waves.
The ...
Gifted Children's Communication about Bullying: Understanding the Experience
(2011-02-22)
The purpose of this study was to examine gifted middle school children's
communication about bullying. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods,
differences between gifted and non-gifted children regarding amount ...
Historical Demography and Genetic Population Structure of the Blackfin Tuna (Thunnus atlanticus) from the Northwest Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico
(2010-01-16)
Little is known about the population structure and genetic variability of blackfin
tuna despite catch increases over the past 25 years. In this thesis, levels of genetic
variation contained in 323bp of the mitochondrial ...
A Study To Determine Necessity of Pilot Holes When Drilling Shallow Gas Zones Using Top Hole Dual Gradient Drilling Technology
(2010-01-16)
When drilling offshore, shallow gas hazards are a major concern because of their
potential to cause a major blowout. This is a special concern when drilling in shallower
water, where the gas influx reaches the rig sooner. ...
PI Control of Gene Expression in Tumorous Cell Lines
(2010-01-16)
Recent experiments are bringing to the fore more and more information about the
effects of different treatments on the gene expression of different genes. The results
obtained from these experiments show that some definite ...
Statistical Estimation of Two-Body Hydrodynamic Properties Using System Identification
(2010-01-14)
A basic understanding of the hydrodynamic response behavior of the two-body system is
important for a wide variety of offshore operations. This is a complex problem and
model tests can provide data that in turn can be used ...
Study on Poisson Cluster Stochastic Rainfall Generators
(2011-02-22)
The purpose of this dissertation is to enhance the applicability and the accuracy
of the Poisson cluster stochastic rainfall generators.
Firstly, the 6 parameters of the Modified Bartlett-Lewis Rectangular Pulse
(MBLRP) ...
Mechanistic Insights into the Diverged Enzymes of the Amidohydrolase Superfamily
(2011-02-22)
The amidohydrolase superfamily is a functionally diverse set of enzymes that
catalyzes predominantly hydrolysis reactions involving sugars, nucleic acids, amino
acids, and organophosphate esters. A more divergent member ...
