The dynamics, interactions and phenotypes associated with the three members of the 14-3-3 family in Drosophila melanogaster
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
It has been proposed that the various 14-3-3 isotypes and isoforms present in all eukaryotes are largely functionally equivalent. However, this is not consistent with the conservation of multiple isoforms and isotypes, ...
Prevalence and microbial ecology of Enterobacteriaceae on Texas produce and the survival of Salmonella on parsley as affected by processing and storage
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
To assess the risk factors involved in the contamination of fresh produce with human pathogenic organisms, a total of 1,257 samples were collected from cantaloupe, oranges, and parsley in the field and after processing, ...
Enrichment of canine gestation and lactation diets with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids to support neurologic development
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) are essential for proper neural and retinal development in many mammalian species. One objective of this research was to investigate the effects of dietary α-linolenic ...
Design, optimization, and selectivity of inorganic ion-exchangers for radioactive waste remediation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The processes of development of nuclear weapons resulted in accumulation of thousands of curies of high-level radioactive waste. Liquid waste produced in the US has been stored in carbon steel tanks in highly alkaline (1-3 ...
Influence of cell environment on micronucleation in Chinese hamster ovary cells
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The irradiation of cells in culture is an essential part of many radiation biology experiments. Since these experiments necessarily involve the irradiation of cell culture vessels and nutrient medium, the possibility of ...
Reliability-yield allocation for semiconductor integrated circuits: modeling and optimization
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This research develops yield and reliability models for fault-tolerant semiconductor integrated circuits and develops optimization algorithms that can be directly applied to these models. Since defects cause failures in ...
Functional photoacoustic tomography of animal brains
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This research is primarily focused on laser-based non-invasive photoacoustic tomography of small animal brains. Photoacoustic tomography, a novel imaging modality, was applied to visualize the distribution of optical ...
Adhesion in bitumen-aggregate systems and quantification of the effect of water on the adhesive bond
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This research is intended to contribute toward the understanding, development, and
implementation of a more fundamental design process for bituminous pavement
materials, utilizing thermodynamic properties of the materials ...
The roles of estradiol-17 beta and prolactin in uterine gland development in the neonatal ewe
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Endometrial glands are required for adult uterine function and develop post-natally
in mammalian species. Therefore, studies were conducted using neonatal ewes as a
model to determine: 1) the roles of estradiol-17-alpha ...
Advanced neutron irradiation system using Texas A&M University Nuclear Science Center Reactor
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
A heavily filtered fast neutron irradiation system (FNIS) was developed for a variety of applications, including the study of long-term health effects of fast neutrons by evaluating the biological mechanisms of damage in ...
