Developing a web accessible integrated database and visualization tool for bovine quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
A quantitative trait locus (QTL) is the location of a gene that affects a trait that is measured on a quantitative (linear) scale. Many important agricultural traits such as weight gain, milk fat content and intramuscular ...
Inheritance of cotton fiber length and distribution
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fiber quality data from five upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes,
which were grown at College Station, TX during 2001 and 2002, were subjected to
diallel and generation means analyses to determine the potential ...
Modeling household adoption of earthquake hazard adjustments: a longitudinal panel study of Southern California and Western Washington residents
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This research, aimed at advancing the theory of environmental hazard adjustment processes
by contrasting households from three cities in a high seismic hazard area with households from
three other cities in a moderate ...
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
fuelled an urgent need for a diverse array of passive and active circuits that address the
challenges of rapidly emerging wireless applications. While ...
Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by Fe(ii) in degradative solidification/stabilization
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation examines the applicability of the iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (DS/S-Fe(II)) to various chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) that are common chemicals of concern at contaminated ...
Genetic analysis of mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis reveals sequence and epigenetic variation among field isolates
(2009-05-15)
Previous research performed in 1999 by Harris et al. has shown that
many varieties of ruminants serve as the host species for Mycobacterium avium
subspecies paratuberculosis (MparaTb) infections. Gene sequencing has
supported ...
Dynamics of marine pelagic bacterial communities on the Texas-Louisiana shelf
(2009-05-15)
Microbial community interactions within many ecosystems are still relatively
unknown. Investigating links between environmental dynamics and shifting pelagic
bacterial community structures on the Texas-Louisiana shelf, ...
Spatio-temporal distribution of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) relative to prescribed burns on rangeland in South Texas
(2009-05-15)
Overgrazing and fire suppression has left much rangeland in poor condition for
various wildlife species. Prescribed fire is one range improvement practice used to
restore degraded wildlife habitat. I determined the effect ...
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 ...
