The impact of the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) on teacher stress and anxiety as reported by middle school classroom teachers in a selected school district in Education Service Center, Region 20, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of teacher stress and
anxiety as reported by middle school classroom teachers in a selected school district in
Education Service Center, Region 20, Texas. The selected ...
Effects of cytosine-phosphate-guanosine oligodinucleotides (CpG-ODNs) on oral immunization with protein antigen or replicating parasite
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The purpose of this research was to investigate selected methods of mucosal
immunization for commercial chickens. Induction of mucosal immunity in commercial
chickens through the use of orally administered subunit vaccines ...
Measuring cognitive load management in a traditional martial arts training model
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A training method utilized in a few martial arts was found to agree strongly with current cognitive psychology theory. Further study extracted a procedural model for learning a complex set of whole-body, dyadic motor skills ...
Emotion dysregulation and re-regulation: predictors of relationship intimacy and distress
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Over the past 20 years, our understanding of emotional processes has grown
rapidly. Within the study of emotion, a key area of interest has been how individuals
succeed or fail in regulating emotional responses. Although ...
Peptidomimetics to mimic protein-protein interactions
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Quenched Molecular Dynamics (QMD) used to explore molecular conformations was developed to operate in Insight II platform for two simulation engines: CHARMm and Discover. Two scripts and procedures were written for molecular ...
Functional analysis of fluffy, a transcriptional regulator for conidial development in Neurospora crassa
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The fluffy gene of Neurospora crassa is required for asexual sporulation. It encodes an 88 kDa polypeptide containing a typical fungal Zn2Cys6 DNA binding motif. To identify the target genes on which FL may act, I sought ...
Numerical simulation of flow separation control by oscillatory fluid injection
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
In this work, numerical simulations of flow separation control are performed. The sep-aration control technique studied is called 'synthetic jet actuation'. The developed code employs a cell centered finite volume scheme ...
Modeling and simulation of film blowing process
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Film blowing process is a flexible mass production technology used for manufacturing
thin polymeric films. Its flexibility in using an existing die to produce films
of different width and thickness, just by controlling ...
Metal specificity and the mechanism of allosteric regulation in metal-sensing metal-responsive transcriptional repressors Staphylococcus aureus CzrA and Mycobacterium tuberculosis NmtR
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The metal-responsive transcriptional repressors of the SmtB/ArsR family repress
the expression of their respective operons in the absence of metal and are released from
the operator/promoter region when metal ions bind, ...
Integration of functional components into microfluidic chemical systems: bioimmobilization and electrochemiluminescent detection on-chip
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
We have investigated and implemented several general strategies in the development of microfluidics-based chemical/biochemical sensing systems. The research in this dissertation covers the immobilization of biological ...
