Fecal near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy calibrations for predicting diet quality and intake of donkeys
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The objective of these studies was to develop near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy calibration equations from diet-fecal pair datasets to predict the diet quality and intake of donkeys. One hundred-forty diet-fecal pair ...
Environmental predictors of bottlenose dolphins distribution and core feeding densities in Galveston Bay, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Coastal dolphins are often exposed to habitat degradation and direct interactions with
humans. Major factors that influence dolphin distribution, critical for conservation
concerns, are still poorly understood even for the ...
Person-environment congruence and the identity development of young adults: converging two theories of career development
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
According to Erik Erikson (1950), adolescents and young adults are highly
engaged in the process of identity development with intentions to avoid a state of
diffusion and role confusion. Several researchers (e.g., Bordin, ...
Whooping crane (Grus americana) demography and environmental factors in a population growth simulation model
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The Whooping Crane (Grus americana) is among North AmericaÂs most
charismatic species. Between 1938 and 2004, the population that migrates between
Aransas National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) and Wood Buffalo National Park ...
Topics in living cell miultiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPLSM) image analysis
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Multiphoton laser scanning microscopy (MPLSM) is an advanced fluorescence
imaging technology which can produce a less noisy microscope image and minimize the
damage in living tissue. The MPLSM image in this research is the ...
Resource conservation and optimization via process integration
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The process industries are characterized by the enormous use of natural resources
such as raw materials, solvents, water, and utilities. Additionally, significant amounts of
wastes are discharged from industrial facilities. ...
Cerebellar Purkinje cell death in the P/Q -type voltage-gated calcium ion channel mutant mouse, leaner
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Mutations of the á1A subunit of P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium channels are
responsible for several inherited disorders affecting humans, including familial
hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type 2 and spinocerebellar ...
Imaging studies of photochemistry of the stratospheric bromine and chlorine compounds
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This dissertation focuses on the photodissociation dynamics of stratospheric
bromine and chlorine radical intermediates (BrO, ClO) along with reservoir species
(ClONO2), which are known to play an important role at ...
Politically rational foreign policy decision-making
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This dissertation is an analysis of how presidents make foreign policy decisions.
Rather than explaining foreign policy decisions by focusing on individuals or
