Screening potato genotypes for antioxidant activity, identification of the responsible compounds, and differentiating Russet Norkotah strains using AFLP and microsatellite marker analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Total antioxidant activity and total carotenoid levels were evaluated for more than 100 common potato (Solanum tuberosum, L.) cultivars grown in the United States, advanced breeding lines from several Western U.S. breeding ...
Determining transit impact on Seoul office rent and land value: an application of spatial econometrics
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study posits that there may be a systematic bias in measuring the transits
endogenous impact on land values in a built up area due to discrimination by location in
the city. Studies of transit value-added effect ...
Functional data analysis: classification and regression
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Functional data refer to data which consist of observed functions or curves evaluated
at a finite subset of some interval. In this dissertation, we discuss statistical
analysis, especially classification and regression ...
Density and geometry of the third metacarpal in juvenile racehorses treated with exogenous equine somatotropin
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The effect of exogenous somatotropin (eST) on bone changes were evaluated in
twenty-nine juvenile horses in race training using radiographs of the third metacarpal
obtained over the course of a 128 day research project. A ...
Microbubble drag reduction phenomenon study in a channel flow
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
An experimental study on drag reduction by injection of microbubbles was performed in the upper wall of a rectangular channel at Re = 5128. Particle Image Velocimetry measurement technique (PIV) was used to obtain instantaneous ...
Minimax methods for finding multiple saddle critical points in Banach spaces and their applications
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This dissertation was to study computational theory and methods for ?nding multiple saddle critical points in Banach spaces. Two local minimax methods were developed for this purpose. One was for unconstrained cases and ...
Antecedents of an interviewer's fit perceptions of an applicant: the role of actual and perceived similarity
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
In this dissertation I will present and test a model linking actual applicant-interviewer demographic, human capital, and cultural capital similarity to an interviewer??s recommendation to hire. Actual similarity is ...
Bacteriophage P1: a new paradigm for control of phage lysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The N-terminal hydrophobic domain of the phage P1 endolysin Lyz was found to facilitate the export of Lyz in a sec-dependent fashion, explaining the ability of Lyz to cause lysis of E.coli in the absence of the P1 holin. ...

(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The purpose of this study was to identify and assess the stressors and coping mechanisms related to job performance as perceived by directors of adult literacy education programs in Texas. This research also attempted to ...
The application of size- resolved hygroscopicity measurements to understand the physical and chemical properties of ambient aerosol
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
During the summer of 2002, a modified tandem differential mobility analyzer
(TDMA) was used to examine the size-resolved hydration state of the ambient aerosol in
Southeast Texas. Although there were slight variations ...
