Transference effects on student physicians' affective interactions and clinical inferences in interviews with standardized patients: an experimental study
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study applied Andersen??s social cognitive paradigm for the experimental
study of transference to the problem of understanding transference effects on the affective
interactions and clinical inferences of student ...
Measuring angler attitudes toward the catch-related aspects of recreational fishing
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The primary purposes of this dissertation were understanding the nature of an
attitudinal scale designed to measure the consumptive orientation of recreational anglers
and filling a gap in the published literature regarding ...
Development of a variable-temperature ion mobility/ time-of-flight mass spectrometer for separation of electronic isomers
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The construction of a liquid nitrogen-cooled ion mobility spectrometer coupled
with time-of-flight mass spectrometry was implemented to demonstrate the ability to
discriminate between electronic isomers. Ion mobility allows ...
Generalization of rotational mechanics and application to aerospace systems
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
This dissertation addresses the generalization of rigid-body attitude kinematics,
dynamics, and control to higher dimensions. A new result is developed that demonstrates
the kinematic relationship between the angular ...
Drivers of demand, interrelationships, and nutritional impacts within the nonalcoholic beverage complex
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study analyzes the economic and demographic drivers of household demand for at-home consumption of nonalcoholic beverages in 1999. Drivers of available intake of calories, calcium, vitamin C, and caffeine associated ...
Efficient multi-resolution data dissemination in wireless sensor networks
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
A large-scale distributed wireless sensor network is composed of a large collection
of small low-power, unattended sensing devices equipped with limited memory,
processors, and short-range wireless communication. The network ...
Modeling and control of network traffic for performance and secure communications
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The objective of this research is to develop innovative techniques for modeling and control of network congestion. Most existing network controls have discontinuous actions, but such discontinuity in control actions is ...
Design and control of hierarchically structured nanomaterials
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Hierarchically ordered porous oxides have garnered much interest because of
the numerous applications that can be developed from these materials. The catalytic
properties, separation ability, and ion exchangeability of ...
Lime pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Renewable energy sources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, are environmentally friendly because they emit less pollution without contributing net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Among lignocellulosic biomass, corn stover ...
Genomic analysis of the horse Y chromosome
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Stallion fertility is of significant economic importance in the multibillion dollar equine industry. Presently, the underlying genetic causes of infertility in stallions are unknown. Analysis of the human genome has shown ...
