Experimental and Computational Studies on Protein Folding, Misfolding and Stability
(2010-07-14)
Proteins need fold to perform their biological function. Thus, understanding how
proteins fold could be the key to understanding life. In the first study, the stability and
structure of several !-hairpin peptide variants ...
Rate Transient Analysis in Shale Gas Reservoirs with Transient Linear Behavior
(2010-07-14)
Many hydraulically fractured shale gas horizontal wells in the Barnett shale have been
observed to exhibit transient linear behavior. This transient linear behavior is
characterized by a one-half slope on a log-log plot ...
Bystanders' Reactions to Sexual Harassment
(2010-07-14)
Sexual harassment is associated with negative consequences for victims and
bystanders. Because 9 in 10 victims do not report harassment, understanding bystanders'
reactions to sexual harassment is important. Thus, my ...
Investigation of electron-atom/molecule scattering resonances using complex multiconfigurational self-consistent field method
(2010-07-14)
We present a complex multicon figurational self-consistent field (CMCSCF)-
based approach to investigate electron{atom/molecule scattering resonances. A modifi ed second quantization algebra adapted for biorthogonal spin ...
Short-sellers and Analysts as Providers of Complementary Information about Future Firm Performance
(2010-07-14)
This study examines whether short-sellers and financial analysts develop complementary information about future earnings and returns and assesses whether investors can improve predictions made by each of these intermediaries ...
Wind Farm Diversification and Its Impact on Power System Reliability
(2010-10-12)
As wind exploitation gains prominence in the power industry, the extensive use
of this intermittent source of power may heavily rely on our ability to select the best
combination of wind farming sites that yields maximal ...
Design and Implementation of Physical Layer Network Coding Protocols
(2010-10-12)
There has recently been growing interest in using physical layer network coding
techniques to facilitate information transfer in wireless relay networks. The physical
layer network coding technique takes advantage of the ...
A Highly Linear Broadband LNA
(2010-10-12)
In this work, a highly linear broadband Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) is presented.
The linearity issue in broadband Radio Frequency (RF) front-end is introduced, followed
by an analysis of the specifications and requirements ...
Estimating Distribution and Abundance of Rio Grande Wild Turkeys in South Texas
(2010-10-12)
Sustainable management of wildlife populations relies on accurate estimates of
population size as harvest recommendations are dependent on estimates of sustainable
surplus. Techniques for surveying wild turkey populations ...
Effect of Water Education on Reducing Residential Consumption in San Antonio, Texas
(2010-10-12)
Education is touted as one of the most effective and inexpensive measures for
reducing water consumption for major cities. Coupled with additional water reducing
strategies this education can have a significant impact. ...
