National human resource development in the developing world: the Republic of Kazakhstan
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first was to explore, describe and define
the emerging construct of Human Resource Development (HRD) in the Republic of
Kazakhstan (RKZ). The second was to examine specific ...
Robust concatenated codes for the slow Rayleigh fading channel
(2009-05-15)
In this thesis, we design a robust concatenated code for the Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output (MIMO) system in the presence of slow Rayleigh fading with no
channel side information at the transmitter (no CSIT) and perfect ...
QTL mapping of high digestibility trait in sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(2009-05-15)
As compared with other cereal grains, Sorghum bicolor shows very low levels ofprotein digestibility when exposed to proteolytic enzymes. Protein digestibility furtherdecreases when sorghum is cooked. It is speculated that ...

(2009-05-15)
In the Teaching Principle (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
[NCTM], 2000), it explained that development and utilization of pedagogical content
knowledge required teachers to continually increase their knowledges ...
Effects of carbohydrate applications on growth and vitality of live oak (Quercus virginiana)
(2009-05-15)
Urban forests grow in stressful environments that can have negativerepercussions on tree energy reserves. The goal of this research was to evaluate theimpact of exogenously applied carbohydrates on growth and vitality of ...
Experimental study of gas turbine blade film cooling and internal turbulated heat transfer at large Reynolds numbers
(2009-06-02)
Film cooling effectiveness on a gas turbine blade tip on the near tip pressure side and on the
squealer cavity floor is investigated. Optimal arrangement of film cooling holes, effect of a full
squealer and a cutback ...
Adaptive finite element methods for fluorescence enhanced optical tomography
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fluorescence enhanced optical tomography is a promising molecular imaging
modality which employs a near infrared fluorescent molecule as an imaging agent
and time-dependent measurements of fluorescent light propagation and ...
Patterns and predictors of mental health service use and serious mental illness among community-dwelling elderly
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Older adults have historically utilized mental health services at substantially low
rates. Unfortunately, though professional, policy, and other recent developments
portend an increase in service use, there has been scant ...
The Tsr chemoreceptor/CheW/CheA ternary complex as an allosteric enzyme
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The transmembrane serine receptor Tsr associates with a coupling protein, CheW,
and a histidine kinase, CheA, to form a ternary complex that regulates the activity of
CheA. CheA activity is inhibited by binding of L-serine ...

(2009-05-15)
Top Choice (n = 48) and Select (n = 48) paired bone-in ribeye rolls, bone-in strip
loins, and boneless top sirloin butts were assigned randomly to one of two aging
treatments (dry or wet) and aged 14, 21, 28 or 35 days. ...
