Cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate olfactory rhythms in drosophila melanogaster
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation is focused on how circadian control of olfactory responses are
regulated at the cellular and molecular level in Drosophila. Electrophysiological
approaches consisting of Electroantennogram (EAG), single ...
Causality and aggregation in economics: the use of high dimensional panel data in micro-econometrics and macro-econometrics
(2009-05-15)
This study proposes one plausible procedure to address two methodological issues,
which are common in micro- and macro- econometric analyses, for the full realization of
research potential brought by recently available ...
A geological framework for temporal sedimentary dynamics
(2009-05-15)
Geophysical, geochemical and geotechnical methods were used to investigate the spatial and
temporal aspects of sediment distribution, accumulation, post-depositional alterations, and seafloor
response and recovery to major ...
Kerr-NUT-AdS metrics and string theory
(2009-05-15)
With the advent of supergravity and superstring theory, it is of great importance
to study higher-dimensional solutions to the Einstein equations. In this dissertation,
we study the higher dimensional Kerr-AdS metrics, and ...
Hiring for diversity: practices of human resource administrators in minority majority school districts in Texas
(2009-05-15)
The focus of this study was on hiring practices in Texas school districts of over
500 students containing ethnic minority students as the majority of the student
population. It examined differences between the practices ...
Asymptotics for the maximum likelihood estimators of diffusion models
(2009-05-15)
In this paper I derive the asymptotics of the exact, Euler, and Milstein ML
estimators for diffusion models, including general nonstationary diffusions. Though
there have been many estimators for the diffusion model, their ...
Feed efficiency, carcass, and temperament traits in F2 Nellore-Angus steers
(2009-05-15)
Feed efficiency in fed F2 Nellore-Angus steers produced through embryo transfer was evaluated using two methods: residual feed intake (RFI) and NRC-based model predicted residual consumption (MPRC). Sire and family(sire) ...
Identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa via a poplar tree model
(2009-05-15)
Differential gene expression of P. aeruginosa in a rhizosphere biofilm on poplar tree
roots was examined in order to identify new virulence factors from this human pathogen.
Changes in gene expression for poplar trees ...
Challenging government: institutional arrangements, policy shocks, and no-confidence motions
(2009-05-15)
Our understanding of parliamentary politics suggests that no-confidence motions
have a critical place in government continuation, reorganization and termination. More
specifically, we know that opposition parties use ...
An exploratory study of the perceptions and experiences of u.s.-born latino parents in a high-poverty urban school district in relation to their role in the education of their children
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this qualitative interpretive research study was to explore the
perceptions and experiences of seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latino
parents in a high-poverty urban school district in Texas ...
