Irradiation Stability of Carbon Nanotubes
(2010-01-14)
Ion irradiation of carbon nanotubes is a tool that can be used to achieve modification of the structure. Irradiation stability of carbon nanotubes was studied by ion and electron bombardment of the samples. Different ion ...
Age, Growth, and Population Dynamics of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Along Coastal Texas
(2010-10-12)
Common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) are apex predators and
indicators of localized ecosystem health. Accurate characterization of population
demography is crucial to parameter predictions. However, descriptions ...
Evaluating the Impacts of Gender, Fatness, Muscling, and Weight on Yield Grade 4 Beef Carcasses.
(2010-01-14)
This study was conducted to assess cutout and value differences in Yield Grade 4
beef carcasses by evaluating impacts of gender, fatness, muscling, and weight. USDA
Choice, Yield Grade 4 carcasses (n = 60) were selected ...
Antimicrobial Efficacy of Liposome Encapsulated Nisin and Nisin's Inhibition Against Listeria monocytogenes in Fluid Milk at Different Storage Temperatures
(2010-10-12)
Nisin is a naturally occurring food antimicrobial that inhibits many Grampositive
pathogens, including Listeria monocytogenes, a bacterial pathogen responsible
for ~500 deaths in the U.S. annually. Factors known to counteract ...
Stopper-Bearing System – A Solution to Displacement Control of Bridge Decks
(2010-10-12)
Bridges play an important role in society, especially during the post-earthquake
period that enables emergency vehicles and traffic for safe egress and ingress to
minimize the loss of property and life. However, some past ...
SEPARATION OF PROTEINS BY ION EXCHANGE AND MEMBRANE CHROMATOGRAPHY: BUFFER COMPOSITION, INTERFERING IMPURITIES AND FOULING CONSIDERATIONS
(2010-01-16)
Efficient separation of target protein from impurities is crucial in bioseparation for large
scale production and purity of the target protein. Two separation process approaches were
considered in this study. The first ...
Validation of a comercially available fluorescence-based instrument to evaluate stallion spermatozoal concentration and comparison to photometric systems
(2010-01-16)
Accurate measurement of stallion spermatozoal concentration is important to
equine breeding operations. The hemacytometer is considered the standard for
measuring spermatozoal concentration but is time consuming and may ...
Nitrous Oxide Production in the Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone
(2010-10-12)
The Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone is created by strong persistent water
stratification and nutrient loading from the Mississippi River which fuels primary
production and bacterial decomposition. The Texas-Louisiana shelf ...
Select Economic Implications for the Biological Control of Arundo donax along the Rio Grande
(2010-10-12)
Arundo donax, or giant reed, is a large, bamboo-like plant native to Spain that has
invaded several thousand acres of the Rio Grande riparian in Texas. The plant grows to
18-24 feet, consuming large quantities of water ...
Capacity Proportional Unstructured Peer-to-Peer Networks
(2010-10-12)
Existing methods to utilize capacity-heterogeneity in a P2P system either rely
on constructing special overlays with capacity-proportional node degree or use topology adaptation to match a node's capacity with that of its ...
