Participant/assessor personality characteristics that influence feedback acceptance in developmental assessment centers
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The objective of the present study was to determine whether specified factors influenced the acceptance of feedback by participants (N = 113) in an operational developmental assessment center. Specifically, the relationship ...
Effect of test conditions and sample configuration on the AMTEC electrode/electrolyte characteristics measurements in the Sodium Exposure Test Cell experiment
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effect of test conditions and sample configuration on the AMTEC electrode/electrolyte characteristic measurements in a Sodium Exposure Test Cell (SETC). The ...
Occurrence, distribution, and movement patterns of outer coastline bottlenose dolphins off Galveston Island, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are widely distributed throughout the Gulf of Mexico. Although several dolphin studies have focused on Galveston Bay, Texas, only one has included the adjacent Gulf of Mexico ...
Commerce and society in the urban Philippines : a comparative study
(2001-05)
Until recently, the negative effects associated with the spread of large retail institutions away from the central business districts of local communities was most commonly identified with towns and cities in the developed ...
Abundance and distribution of paralarval cephalopods in relation to mesoscale hydrographic features in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Paralarval cephalopods were collected and identified from 1m² and 4 m² MOCNESS (Multiple Opening and Closing Net Environmental Sensing System) and 15' IKMT (Isaacs Kidd Midwater Trawl) trawls taken in 1996 and 1997 in the ...
Electronic and structural response of InSb to ultra-short and ultra-intense laser pulses
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The present work is motivated in part by the increasing interest in a better understanding of the optical properties of InSb, the main material used to manufacture infrared detectors. In addition, there have been recent ...
A slit impactor utilizing a transpirated impaction surface for collection of bioaerosols
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In recent years, there has been a growing concern of possible attacks against the United States by other countries using biological weapons. In response to this concern, the U.S. government has increased its defensive ...
Conversion of essential fatty acids by Delta 6 desaturase in dog liver microsomes
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Long Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (LCPUFA) are physiologically important precursors for eicosanoids, leukotrienes, and prostanoids. Desaturation of essential fatty acids (EFAs) by []6-desaturase is considered the ...
Genetic resistance to Infectious Bronchitis Virus infection
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
An IBV infectivity study was conducted using inbred lines of White Leghorn chickens homozygous at the B-complex, or MHC genes. One heterozygous haplotype was also included. Of the groups examined, based on clinical ...
A new Lyapunov design method for nonlinear process control
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The present research work proposes a new nonlinear controller synthesis approach that is based on the methodological principles of Lyapunov design. In particular, it introduces a notion of short-horizon model-based prediction ...
