Solution structure and functional analysis of a frameshift-stimulating RNA pseudoknot from sugarcane yellow leaf virus
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Plant luteoviral RNA viruses employ -1 frameshifting for the production of P1
and P1-P2 fusion proteins important for viral replication. Luteoviral pseudoknots are
characterized by three adenosines in the 3' side of loop ...
Expert-novice interaction in problematizing a complex environmental science issue using web-based information and analysis tools
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Solving complex problems is integral to science. Despite the importance of this
type of problem solving, little research has been done on how collaborative teams of
expert scientists and teams of informed novices solve ...
A thermodynamical framework for the solidification of molten polymers and its application to fiber extrusion
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
A thermodynamical framework is presented that describes the solidification of molten polymers to an amorphous as well as to a semicrystalline solid-like state. This framework fits into a general structure developed for ...
The Flower Constellations - theory, design process, and applications
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
In this research, constellations of satellites all having orbits compatible with rotating
reference frames are considered. That is to say, no matter how many satellites are considered
for the constellation, when viewed ...
Selenium nutrition of Morone hybrids including dietary requirements, bioavailability, toxicity and effects on immune responses and disease resistance
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Aquacultural production of hybrid striped bass (HSB) Morone chrysops à M.
saxatilis is highly vulnerable to losses from bacterial pathogens such as Streptococcus
iniae. Therefore, research was conducted to evaluate various ...
Classical biological control of Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), (Diptera:Tephritidae): natural enemy exploration and nontarget testing
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This work covers stages one through seven (of nine stages) of a classical biological
control program for Mediterranean fruit fly (=medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann). Major
research objectives concentrate on stage ...
Insights into relationships among rodent lineages based on mitochondrial genome sequence data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation has two major sections. In Chapter II, complete mitochondrial
(mt DNA) genome sequences were used to construct a hypothesis for affinities of most
major lineages of rodents that arose quickly in the Eocene ...
Evaluation of the relationship between fracture conductivity, fracture fluid production, and effective fracture length
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Low-permeability gas wells often produce less than predicted after a fracture treatment. One of the reasons
for this is that fracture lengths calculated after stimulation are often less than designed lengths. While
actual ...
Physiological and genetic control of water stress tolerance in zoysiagrass
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Significant cultivar difference in many water stress responses of zoysiagrass
(Zoysia japonica (Steud.) and Zoysia matrella (L.) Merr.) are shown in this study. Of the
four cultivars, Palisades was the most water stress ...
Survival of nonprofit community health clinics
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In the provision of public goods such as health care for the uninsured, nonprofit
organizations serve important functions in society. Because they often rely on volunteer
labor, and funding is frequently unstable, their ...
