Ancient ships of Japan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Ancient ships of Japan, which are little known outside of Japan, are presented
based on the studies of past researchers, as well as a comprehensive analysis of
archaeological remains. The process of development from logboats ...
Evaluation of compost specifications for stormwater management
(2009-05-15)
Urban development will continue to increase in Texas because of population growth and urban sprawl. Despite the desire for urbanization and expansion of the economy, this growth increases the amount of construction, which, ...
Single-event kinetic modeling of the hydrocracking of hydrogenated vacuum gas oil
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The primary objective of the research project was to further develop a computer program
modeling the hydrocracking of partially hydrogenated vacuum gas oil (HVGO), and to use the
model to compare the theoretical product ...
A Study of Heat Pump Fin Staged Evaporators Under Frosting Conditions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation provides a detailed description of the research work completed on fin staged heat
exchangers. The effects of staging fin on the frosting performance of heat pump evaporators and the
whole heat pump ...
The relationship between BMI and asthma is a significant health concern among pre-adolescent and adolescent children
(2009-06-02)
In the U.S., the prevalence rates of obesity and asthma have increased over the past 20 years and led to speculation that a correlation exists between them. Most of the research that has been conducted on the association ...
Phytoplankton biomass and community structure at frontal zones in the surface waters of the Northern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Satellite images of chlorophyll concentration in the surface waters of the Gulf of
Mexico suggest a high degree of heterogeneity in the phytoplankton biomass. The
causes of this variability and the amount of variability ...
Genetic and dietary effects on the physical properties, assembly and secretion of apoB-containing lipoproteins
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
The physical properties (i.e., mass, particle diameter and composition) of apolipoprotein B (apoB)-containing lipoproteins (apoB-LP) are a major determinant of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. The ...
An assessment of middle grades preservice teachers' mathematics knowledge for teaching
(2009-06-02)
The overall purpose of this concurrent mixed methods study was to develop an
online performance assessment using content questions taken from a reputable seventh and
eighth grade standardized assessment that effectively ...
Dynamic fluorescence imaging with molecular agents for cancer detection
(2009-05-15)
Non-invasive dynamic optical imaging of small animals requires the
development of a novel fluorescence imaging modality. Herein, fluorescence imaging is
demonstrated with sub-second camera integration times using agents ...
Molecular systematics and phylogeography of the dusky dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obscurus) derived from nuclear and mitochondrial loci
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This study presents evidence from mitochondrial and nuclear loci that there is
genetic divergence among and within geographic populations of Lagenorhynchus
obscurus. The effect of seasonal variation on the genetic structure ...
