Population genetics of the pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), inferred from mitochondrial nucleotide data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn, is an obligate nut feeder of all North American hickory
(Carya) and a key pest of the pecan, C. illinoinensis Koch. This study investigated population
structure of the pecan weevil. ...
Neurodegeneration in cerebellar granule cells of p/q type voltage gated calcium channel mutant leaner mice
(2009-05-15)
Mutations of the α1A subunit of CaV 2.1 voltage gated calcium (VGCC) channels
are responsible for several inherited disorders affecting humans, including familial
hemiplegic migraine, episodic ataxia type and spinocerebellar ...
A case study of the perceptions of current and former school board members of a recently annexed, rural, impoverished, South Texas, Latino school district in a high stakes accountability system
(2009-05-15)
This research study was a qualitative study involving eight current or former
school board members of a recently annexed, rural, impoverished, Latino school
district in South Texas. The purpose of this intrinsic case study ...
Western Empire: the deep water wreck of a mid-nineteenth century wooden sailing ship
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This study of Western Empire is split into two distinct parts: (1) historical research of the
life of the vessel, relying on primary documents; and (2) analysis of the deep water
survey data. The first part concentrates ...
Laboratory-scale fracture conductivity created by acid etching
(2009-05-15)
Success of acid fracturing treatment depends greatly on the created conductivity
under closure stress. In order to have sufficient conductivity, the fracture face must be
non-uniformly etched while the fracture strength ...
Studies on the molecular epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis
(2009-05-15)
We investigated the molecular epidemiology, differential susceptibility to infection and
disease, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of avian mycobacteriosis in captive ringneck
doves (Streptopelia risoria) and in the ...
Speed estimation using single loop detector outputs
(2009-05-15)
Flow speed describes general traffic operation conditions on a segment of roadway. It is also used to diagnose special conditions such as congestion and incidents. Accurate speed estimation plays a critical role in traffic ...
Heat release effects on decaying homogeneous compressible turbulence
(2009-05-15)
High Mach-number compressible flows with heat release are inherently more
complicated than incompressible flows due to, among other reasons, the activation
of the thermal energy mode. Such flow fields can experience ...
Selection of best drilling, completion and stimulation method for coalbed methane reservoirs
(2009-05-15)
Over the past three decades, coalbed methane (CBM) has moved from a mining
hazard and novel unconventional resource to an important fossil fuel that
accounts for approximately 10% of the U.S. natural gas production and ...
A micromechanics based ductile damage model for anisotropic titanium alloys
(2009-05-15)
The hot-workability of Titanium (Ti) alloys is of current interest to the aerospace
industry due to its widespread application in the design of strong and light-weight
aircraft structural components and engine parts. ...
