Genetic and expression analysis of enabled in Drosophila leg segmentation
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Drosophila leg segmentation is a process which is beginning to be understood. The Notch (N) signaling pathway has been identified as a key regulator of joint formation and segmental growth in Drosophila legs. In this ...
Biological studies and characterization of the High Plains Disease pathogen
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
High Plains Disease (HPD), which is a recently recognized affliction causing up to 80% yield losses in corn and wheat, has been suspected to be of viral origin, however no clear evidence existed to validate this claim. ...
Preservation of limestone material culture with siloxanes
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
For centuries, limestone has been used as a building material and as an art medium. Contrary to popular belief, limestone is not indestructible. Natural and unnatural environmental factors have taken their toll on monuments ...
Space time coded code division multiplexing on SC140 DSP
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The aim of this research is to design a high data rate wireless communication system for multi-path fading channels. Code-division multiplexing is proposed as a modulation scheme for a space-time coded multiple antenna ...
Inheritance of the maroon color in Brasilia-derived carrots (Daucus carota L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Maroon carrots (Daucus carota L.), which were developed from the orange cultivar Brasilia, were studied to determine the inheritance of the genes controlling the expression of anthocyanin in the root. Segregation ratios ...
Effects of all-terrain vehicle trails on stream channel characteristics, Ouachita National Forest, Arkansas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Research shows that road and trail crossings have negative impacts on forest streams, and that off-road vehicles are detrimental to the environment. However, little information is available concerning the effects of such ...
Regional variability in feeding habits of the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris): a preliminary assessment using ¹⁵N and ¹³C
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
In an attempt to assess the effectiveness of stable isotope analysis to determine diet composition of wild manatees, twenty-five species of vegetation commonly consumed by manatees were collected from four regions in ...
Early-season colonization patterns and biological aspects of natural mortality of the boll weevil (Coleoptera:Curculionidae) in central Texas cotton (Malvales:Malvaceae)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Border sprays have been suggested as an efficient alternative to whole-field insecticide applications for control of early-season infestations of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis grandis Boheman, in cotton, Gossypium ...
Emission factors for ammonia and particulate matter from broiler Houses
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Total suspended particulate (TSP) concentrations, ammonia (NH₃) concentrations, and ventilation rates were measured in four commercial, tunnel ventilated broiler houses in June through December of 2000 in Brazos County, ...
On a class of inhomogeneous deformations of an incompressible Mooney-Rivlin solid
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
This work is devoted to the study of a specific inhomogeneous deformation in incompressible Mooney-Rivlin and neo-Hookean materials. The deformation under study is a case of "proportional stretch". Classes of models that ...
