Incorporating voltage security into the planning, operation and monitoring of restructured electric energy markets
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
As open access market principles are applied to power systems, significant changes
are happening in their planning, operation and control. In the emerging marketplace,
systems are operating under higher loading conditions ...
Sources of biological variation in residual feed intake in growing and finishing steers
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Objectives of this research were to characterize residual feed intake (RFI) in
growing and finishing steers and examine phenotypic correlations between performance,
feed efficiency, carcass, digestib ility, and physiological ...
Investigation of anti-islanding schemes for utility interconnection of distributed fuel cell powered generations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The rapid emergence of distributed fuel cell powered generations (DFPGs) operating in parallel with utility has brought a number of technical concerns as more DFPGs are connected to utility grid. One of the most challenging ...
Functional proteomics in Escherichia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Cells respond to their environment with programmed changes in gene expression.
Cataloging these changes at the protein level is key towards understanding the physiology
of an organism. Multi-subunit and multi-protein ...

Structural insights into the mechanisms of membrane binding and oligomerization of a bacterial pore-forming toxin
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Perfringolysin O (PFO), a cytolytic toxin from by the pathogenic bacterium Clostridium perfringens, perforates mammalian cell membranes by forming large aqueous pores. Secreted as water-soluble monomers, the toxin molecules ...
Synthesis and electrochemical characterization of highly monodisperse dendrimer-templated monolayer protected clusters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
We described the synthesis of multilayer organic thin films prepared by sequential vapor-phase coupling of monomers. The reactions were carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Films prepared using up to ...
Interference and control of sharppod morningglory (Ipomoea cordatotriloba dennstedt) in glyphosate-resistant cotton.
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Sharppod morningglory is a perennial vine commonly found infesting croplands in Texas and the southeastern United States. Previous research regarding morningglory competition and control primarily focused on annual Ipomoea. ...
Inhibition of invasive breast cancer cell growth by selected peach and plum phenolic antioxidants
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Fruits and vegetables are known to play an important role in human health due to the
