A new p/z technique for the analysis of abnormally pressured gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Drip tubing as a means of applying domestic wastewater to soil is increasing in use, especially in clayey soils that are unsuitable for traditional disposal systems. Experiments were undertaken to evaluate operational ...
Flow reactor experiments on the selective non-catalytic removal of nitrogen oxides
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Three flow reactor studies, using an electrically heated laminar flow reactor, were performed at 1 atm pressure and various temperatures. To establish inert conditions inside the reactor, a quartz tube was used. The ...
Selection of desired dynamics for Dynamic Inversion controlled re-entry vehicles
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Dynamic Inversion is a design technique used to synthesize flight controllers whereby the set of existing plant dynamics are canceled out and replaced by a designer selected set of desired dynamics. The desired dynamics ...
Carcass quality and composition, sensory characteristics, and shelf-life evaluation of five goat breed-types fed grain- or grassed-based diets
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Wether goats from five breed-types, Boer/Spanish, Spanish/Angora, Boer/Angora, Spanish, and Angora, assigned to grain-fed or pasture-fed, and grain-fed Boer/Spanish intact males were used to conduct this study. After ...
Evaluation of antioxidative/antimicrobial potential of Oriental nutraceutical herb extracts in raw and cooked goat meat and beef products
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study was conducted to determine the effects of alcohol extracts of several Oriental nutraceutical herbs on storage properties of raw and cooked ground goat meat and beef. White peony root, red peony root, sappanwood ...
Cloud-to-ground lightning characteristics over Houston, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The U. S. National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN) has recorded cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning observations regularly for more than a decade (1989-2000). The main research focus using the recorded NLDN data has been ...
Wastewater treatment and flow patterns in an onsite subsurface flow constructed wetland
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Subsurface flow constructed wetlands (SFCWs) are becoming increasingly common as a secondary treatment of onsite domestic wastewater. Even though SFCWs are being used widely, sufficient data has not been collected to ...
Effects of interferon-[] on activation of the Jak/Stat signal transduction pathway and regulation of ovine endometrial gene expression
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Interferon-[] (IFN[]) is a Type I IFN produced by the trophectoderm of ruminant conceptuses for maternal recognition of pregnancy. IFN[] prevents transcriptional up-regulation of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and oxytocin ...
The effect of service-learning in developing leadership life skills
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This study examined the effect of service-learning on the development of leadership life skills in youth. It described whether service learning makes a greater impact than traditional community service activities in the ...
Characterization of genes in the sterigmatocystin gene cluster and their role in fitness of Aspergillus nidulans
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Sterigmatocystin (ST) is the penulitmate precursor of aflatoxin (AF) and a carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by A. nidulans, a fungus well established as a genetic model system. Previously, a 60 kb ST gene cluster in A. ...
