(2009-05-15)
The primary purpose of the study was to reveal the perceptions of three newlyarrived
male Korean students enrolled in Texas A&M University during the 2007 fall
semester regarding their experiences with culture shock and ...
The status of resistance in Culex quinquefasciatus say (Diptera: culicidae) populations in Brazos and Harris Counties, Texas
(2009-05-15)
In 2002, West Nile virus was isolated for the first time in Harris County, Texas.
The subsequent epidemic led the Harris County Mosquito Control Division to initiate an

On delay-sensitive communication over wireless systems
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation addresses some of the most important issues in delay-sensitive
communication over wireless systems and networks. Traditionally, the design of communication
networks adopts a layered framework where each ...
A 64-channel personal computer based image reconstruction system and applications in single echo acquisition magnetic resonance elastography and ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging.
(2009-05-15)
Emerging technologies in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with massive
receiver arrays have paved the way for ultra-fast imaging at increasingly high frame rates.
With the increase in the number of receiver channels ...
Passive and active circuits in cmos technology for rf, microwave and millimeter wave applications
(2009-05-15)
The permeation of CMOS technology to radio frequencies and beyond has

Roles for extra-hypothalamic oscillators in the avian clock
(2009-05-15)
Avian circadian clocks are composed of a distributed network of neural and
peripheral oscillators. Three neural pacemakers, located in the pineal, the eyes, and the
hypothalamus, control circadian rhythms of many biological ...
Genomic and metagenomic approaches to natural product chemistry
(2009-05-15)
For many years, natural products have been a primary source of new molecules for the
treatment of disease, and microorganisms have been a prolific source of these molecules. Recent
studies have indicated, however, that ...
