Comparison of enrichment techniques for the isolation of Salmonella sp. from swine feces
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
From July 1998 to November 1999, 1541 pre-slaughter fecal samples, 428 post-slaughter cecal/rectal content samples, and 430 ileocecal lymph node samples were cultured for Salmonella sp. A total of 371 isolates of Salmonella ...
Factors influencing the growth, recruitment success, and distribution of Farfantepenaeus aztecus (Crustacea:Penaeidae) in high and low salinity salt marshes
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Densities of brown shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) were compared between high and low salinity salt marshes in Galveston Bay, Texas. Growth rates within the high salinity study area (West Bay) were estimated during the ...
A Jamesian response to the dialectic of enlightenment
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The purpose of this project is to advance the thesis that the notion of an appropriative self, reconstructed from the philosophy of William James, answers, in part, the concerns outlined in the Critical Theory of Theodor ...
A Study of Industrial Equipment Energy Use and Demand Control
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Demand and duty factors were measured for selected equipment [air compressors, electric furnaces, injection-molding machines, a welder, a granulator (plastics grinder), a sheet metal press and brake, a lathe, a process ...
Documentation of key factors for successful reconstruction of high volume roadways: two case study projects in Michigan
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The highway system is reaching the end of its design life and requires rehabilitation due to excessive wear and age. Concrete pavement rehabilitation and reconstruction are two of the methods used to extend the service ...
Growth and yield comparisons of Pix® Plus and additional Bacillus cereus treated cotton
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Pix® Plus, a plant growth regulator (PGR) applied to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), is a combination of mepiquat chloride (MC) and Bacillus cereus (BC). Mepiquat chloride is a gibberellic acid (GA) synthesis inhibitor, ...
Defining and measuring habit
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Habits are behavioral tendencies to repeat a well-learned response in a stable context with only minimal or sporadic cognitive monitoring. With repeated performance in a given context, the actor develops a cognitive ...
Development of a Geographic Information System based modeling of a shipboard power system
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Since the early power systems in naval ships, there has been considerable advancement in technology. Today's naval ships carry an array of complex electrical and electronic equipment. A typical naval ship has electronics ...
Characterization and origins of high-amplitude reflection packets, HARPs, along the Gulf of Mexico depositional profile
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
High amplitude reflection packets (HARPs) refer to sheet-like sand deposits, showing high-amplitude seismic-reflection character, which are thought to be associated with constructional channel systems. Based on observations ...
Pseudo-random construction and reduced complexity decoding for low density parity check codes
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The bipartite graph of an LDPC code is typically constructed at random. The memory required to store the randomly constructed parity-check matrix at the decoder can be prohibitive in some applications. When a system has a ...
