Urban growth pattern and sustainable development: a comparative study of municipalities in the Seoul Metropolitan Region
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The main purpose of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the impact
of urban growth and change on sustainability based on a comparative study of
municipalities comprising Gyeonggi Province within the Seoul ...
Measuring the validity of two continuous performance tests: different parameters and scoring indices
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Today, there are numerous versions of the continuous performance test (CPT)
used in clinical and research settings. Although CPTs may constitute a similar group of
tasks with a common paradigm, they are very different in ...
Autoinducer 2-based quorum sensing response of Escherichia coli to sub-therapeutic tetracycline exposure
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Autoinducer 2 (AI-2) is a quorum sensing signal employed by bacteria to coordinate
their response to environmental stresses. The objective of this study was to determine the
relationship between presence of AI-2 molecules, ...
Developing models of aerosol representation to investigate composition, evolution, optical properties, and CCN spectra using measurements of size-resolved hygroscopicity
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A Differential Mobility Analyzer/Tandem Differential Mobility Analyzer (DMA/TDMA) was used to measure size distributions, hygroscopicity, and volatility during the May 2003 Aerosol Intensive Operational Period at the Central ...
Congestion control schemes for single and parallel TCP flows in high bandwidth-delay product networks
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In this work, we focus on congestion control mechanisms in Transmission Control
Protocol (TCP) for emerging very-high bandwidth-delay product networks and suggest
several congestion control schemes for parallel and single-flow ...
On distributed coding, quantization of channel measurements and faster-than-Nyquist signaling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation considers three different aspects of modern digital communication
systems and is therefore divided in three parts.
The first part is distributed coding. This part deals with source and source-
channel ...
The perceived power: government and taxation during the American Civil War
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This dissertation examines how the internal revenue legislation enacted during
the American Civil War fostered a new role for government in society. The delegates to
the 1787 Constitutional Convention constructed a system ...
Structural and mechanistic studies into the copolymerization of carbon dioxide and epoxides catalyzed by chromium salen complexes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The ability to utilize cheaper starting materials in the synthesis of commercially
important materials has been a goal of scientists since the advent of the chemical
industry. The ideal situation would be one in which by ...
Molecular analysis of placodal development in zebrafish
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Vertebrates have evolved a unique way to sense their environment: placodallyderived sense organs. These sensory structures emerge from a crescent-shaped domain, the preplacodal domain, which surrounds the anterior neural ...
On the structure and assembly of staphylococcal leukocidin: a study of the molecular architecture of beta-barrel pore-forming toxins
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Staphylococcal leukocidin pores are formed by the obligatory interaction
of two distinct polypeptides, one of class F and one of class S, making them
unique in the family of β-barrel pore-forming toxins (β-PFTs). ...
