Development of dual phase magnesia-zirconia ceramics for light water reactor inert matrix fuel
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Dual phase magnesia-zirconia ceramics were developed, characterized, and evaluated as a potential matrix material for use in light water reactor inert matrix fuel intended for the disposition of plutonium and minor actinides. ...
Design guidelines and evaluation of an ergonomic chair feature capable of providing support to forward-leaning postures
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This research investigated the need, design, and evaluation of a product capable of providing support to forward-leaning postures. Due to the high occurrence of low-back pain in industry potentially due to workers performing ...
In vitro assembly of an infectious cDNA clone of infectious bronchitis virus and its application as a gene transfer vector
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
An infectious cDNA clone of Vero cell adapted Beaudette strain of IBV was constructed using in vitro assembly of cDNA fragments. The entire genome of IBV was RT-PCR amplified into seven fragments, with each piece overlapping ...
Transcript profiling of differentiating xylem of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Wood formation (xylogenesis) is a critical developmental process for all woody land plants. As an initial step to understand the molecular basis for temporal and spatial regulation of xylogenesis and the effect of the ...
