Search for supersymmetry using rare B to mumu decays at CDF run II
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
A search for rare B0
s -> µ+µ- and B0d -> µ+µ- decays has been performed in pp
collisions at sqroot(s) = 1.96 TeV using 364 pb-1 of data collected by the CDF II experiment
at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The rate of ...
Sensthetics: a crossmodal approach to the perception, and conception, of our environments
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation counters the visual bias, and the simplistic approach to the
senses, in architectural thought, by investigating the connections among different sense
modalities (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch). ...
Chromatin dynamics at the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PHO5 promoter
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In eukaryotes, the organization of DNA into chromatin is a primary determinant of gene expression. Positioned nucleosomes in promoter regions are frequently found to regulate gene expression by obstructing the accessibility ...
Trimeric perfluoro-ortho-phenylene mercury as a building block for supramolecular materials
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Trimeric perfluoro-ortho-phenylene mercury (1) constitutes one of the simplest trifunctional Lewis acidic hosts. Cooperative effects arising from the proximity of the mercury(II) centers, the electron-withdrawing properties ...
The relationship between technology integration reading instruction and reading achievement in high performing campuses as reported by PEIMS and third grade classroom teachers in selected South Texas school districts
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The purpose of this study was to investigate how the implementation of
technology in the classroom impacts third grade readers with high reading scores in the
Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). The secondary ...
International financial crises, term structure of foreign debt and monetary policy in open economies
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In this dissertation, I study international financial crises. For this purpose, I build two models. In the first model, I focus on financial crises in developing, large open economies where foreign debt with various ...
Fault tolerant control of homopolar magnetic bearings and circular sensor arrays
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Fault tolerant control can accommodate the component faults in a control system such as sensors, actuators, plants, etc. This dissertation presents two fault tolerant control schemes to accommodate the failures of power ...
Chemisorption and anodic oxidation of aromatic molecules on Pd electrode surfaces: studies by UHV-EC-STM
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The chemisorption and anodic oxidation of hydroquinone (H2Q) and
benzoquinone (BQ) at palladium electrode surfaces was studied by a combination of
electrochemistry (EC), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), ...
Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of high lysine maize
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Quality Protein Maize (QPM) with the mutant gene opaque-2 (o2), has higher
lysine and tryptophan content and hard endosperm which is less susceptible to
mechanical and biological damage. Three experiments were conducted ...
Predictors of student success in the Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Licensed Practical Nurse training program (91WM6) as identified by expert nurse educators, instructors, and administrators at Fort Sam Houston Post, San Antonio, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The U.S. Army Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) dates back to the fall of 1947
and evolved from severe professional nursing shortages of World War II. Today, as in
the past, to sustain U.S. Army readiness the highly medically ...
