Functional analysis of pax2/5/8 genes and their genetic interactions in zebrafish ear development
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The vertebrate inner ear is a sensory organ responsible for auditory and vestibular
function. Since its complex structure and cell types arise from a simply structured group
of ectodermal cells, called the otic placode, ...
A molecular loop with interstitial channels in a chiral environment and study of formation of metal-metal bonds in dinickel, dipalladium and dititanium complexes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation consists of two independent topics: (1) a molecular loop with
interstitial channels in a chiral environment; (2) study of formation of metal-metal bonds
in dinickel, dipalladium and dititanium complexes
On ...
A novel isolation curtain to reduce turbine ingress heating and an advanced model for honeycomb labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A combination of 3-D and 2-D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling
as well as experimental testing of the labyrinth seal with hexagonal honeycomb cells on
the stator wall was performed. For the 3-D and 2-D CFD models, ...
The development of an index for the proximal upper extremity
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Analysis techniques specific to the proximal upper extremity have historically
been overlooked in the field of ergonomics. This research effort provides a methodology
that will allow the ergonomics practitioner to analyze ...
Coherence-induced entanglement
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Coherence and entanglement are the two key concepts that distinguish quantum
mechanics from classical mechanics. Many novel phenomena occuring in the quantum
world are due to these two Âphysical quantitiesÂ. They also ...
Effects of open spaces on the interpersonal level of resident social capital: a comparative case study of urban neighborhoods in Guangzhou, China
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
China has experienced the rapid socioeconomic change that leads to the
evolution of social and physical environment in urban neighborhoods. In recently built
neighborhoods, residents lack mutual trust and a sense of ...
The molecular mechanisms involved in the genetic instability of the CCTG. CAGG repeats associated with myotonic dystrophy type 2
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) is caused by the extreme expansion (from <
30 repeats in normal individuals to ~ 11,000 for the full mutation in certain patients) of
the repeating tetranucleotide CCTGÂCAGG sequence in the ...
Calcite dissolution kinetics and solubility in Na-Ca-Mg-Cl brines of geologically relevant composition at 0.1 to 1 bar pCO2 and 25 to 80°C
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Sedimentary basins can contain close to 20% by volume pore fluids that are commonly classified as brines. These fluids can become undersaturated with respect to calcite as a result of processes such as migration, dispersive ...
Efficient ray tracing algorithms based on wavefront construction and model based interpolation method
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Understanding and modeling seismic wave propagation is important in regional and
exploration seismology. Ray tracing is a powerful and popular method for this purpose.
Wavefront construction (WFC) method handles wavefronts ...
"In dreams begins responsibility:" the role of Irish drama and the Abbey Theatre in the formation of post-colonial Irish identity
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This research does not hope to give a finalized portrait of Ireland and its vast and
diverse people. Instead, it hopes to add one more piece to the complicated mosaic that is
an honest depiction of Irish personal and ...
