Stable carbon isotope ratio of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the environment: validation of isolation and stable carbon isotope analysis methods
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous, toxic contaminants that are released to the environment from various petrogenic and pyrogenic sources. In an effort to more clearly identify and trace sources of PAHs ...
Longshore sediment transport rate calculated incorporating wave orbital velocity fluctuations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Laboratory experiments were performed to study and improve longshore sediment
transport rate predictions. Measured total longshore transport in the laboratory was
approximately three times greater for plunging breakers ...
Discrete fracture modeling for fractured reservoirs using Voronoi grid blocks
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Fractured reservoirs are commonly simulated using the Dual Porosity model, but
for many major fields, the model does not match field results. For these cases, it is
necessary to perform a more complex simulation including ...
Upgrading and enhanced recovery of Jobo heavy oil using hydrogen donor under in-situ combustion
(2009-05-15)
In-situ upgrading of oil using hydrogen donors is a new process. In particular, very
little research has been conducted with respect to in-situ oil upgrading using hydrogen
donor under in-situ combustion. Several papers ...
Assessing the repeatability and validity of a questionnaire on pain and lameness in the canine
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The measurement of pain has had a growing importance in animals for both privately owned animals and those animals involved in clinical research. Lameness is considered to be 1 aspect of the pain experience. The ability ...
Heterocyclic small molecule peptidomimetics
(2009-05-15)
Polymer-supported synthesis of a close analog (i.e. A) of an early lead, a 14-
membered ring peptidomimetic D3, was described. The monovalent molecule was
attached to different length linkers, and they were then paired ...
Analysis of smart functionally graded materials using an improved third order shear deformation theory
(2009-06-02)
Smart materials are very important because of their potential applications in the
biomedical, petroleum and aerospace industries. They can be used to build systems
and structures that self-monitor to function and adapt to ...
Immobilized metallodithiolate ligand supports for construction of bioinorganic model complexes
(2009-05-15)
The A-cluster active site in acetyl coA synthase exploits a Ni(CGC)2-
metallopeptide as a bidentate ligand to chelate the catalytically active square-planar
nickel center used to produce acetyl coA. As Nature utilizes ...
The effects of shinnery oak removal on lesser prairie chicken survival, movement, and reproduction
(2009-05-15)
The lesser prairie chicken (Tympanuchus pallidicinctus; LPC) has declined in
numbers since the late 1800s. Reasons for this decline have been attributed to habitat
degradation (decreased forb and grass cover and increased ...
How does bilingualism matter? A meta-analytic tale of two hemispheres
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The present investigation evaluates the effects of multiple language acquisition history on brain functional organization for language. To address a range of findings concerning the functional cerebral lateralization of ...
