Expression of defense genes in sorghum grain mold and tagging and mapping a sorghum anthracnose resistance gene
(2009-05-15)
Sorghum grain mold and anthracnose are two major diseases of sorghum
(Sorghum bicolor) that constrain sorghum production worldwide. Grain mold is caused
by several species of fungi, but the two most common are Curvularia ...
Relationships among antioxidants, phenolics, and specific gravity in potato cultivars, and evaluation of wild potato species for antioxidants, glycoalkaloids, and anti-cancer activity on human prostate and colon cancer cells in vitro.
(2009-05-15)
Understanding the influence of environment and correlation/relationships among
traits is necessary in selection for crop quality improvement. Therefore, correlations
among antioxidant activity (AOA), total phenolics (TP), ...
Analytical time domain electromagnetic field propagators and closed-form solutions for transmission lines
(2009-05-15)
An analytical solution for the coupled telegrapher’s equations in terms of the
voltage and current on a homogeneous lossy transmission line and multiconductor
transmission line is presented. The resulting telegrapher’s ...
Courtship acoustics and mating in Cotesia, a genus of parasitoid wasps
(2009-05-15)
Cotesia are parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) that are used for
biological control of pest moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae, Pyralidae) that damage
agricultural crops. This dissertation investigated courtship acoustics ...
Geographic and temporal variation in the genetic mating systems of pipefish
(2009-06-02)
Understanding the processes that govern mating behaviors is a fundamental goal of evolutionary biology and behavioral ecology. Population-level patterns of mate acquisition and offspring production, otherwise known as the ...
The relationship between emotional intelligence, character, and leadership traits in the members of the Texas 4-H Council
(2009-06-02)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether higher levels of 4-H leadership positively correlate with higher levels of emotional intelligence. Also, this study sought to determine whether the Texas 4-H program ...
Penetration of buoyancy driven current due to a wind forced river plume
(2009-05-15)
The long term response of a plume associated with freshwater penetration into
ambient, ocean water under upwelling favorable winds is studied using the Regional
Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) in an idealized domain. Three ...
Effect of sorghum type and processing on the antioxidant properties of sorghum [sorghum bicolor (l.) moench] based foods
(2009-05-15)
Antioxidant properties of sorghum are related to sorghum type and method of
processing into foods. Tannin and non-tannin sorghums and their products were
evaluated for total phenols, tannins and antioxidant activity. Total ...
Modeling performance of horizontal, undulating, and multilateral wells
(2009-05-15)
Horizontal, undulating, and multilateral wells are relatively new alternatives in field
development because they can increase the productivity per well and reduce the cost of
field development. Because the feasibility of ...
Communication synthesis of networks-on-chip (NoC)
(2009-05-15)
The emergence of networks-on-chip (NoC) as the communication infrastructure solution
for complex multi-core SoCs presents communication synthesis challenges. This
dissertation addresses the design and run-time management ...
