Use of bioinformatics to investigate and analyze transposable element insertions in the genomes of caenorhabditis elegans and drosophila melanogaster, and into the target plasmid pGDV1
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Transposable elements (TEs) are utilized for the creation of a wide range of transgenic organisms. However, in some systems, this technique is not very efficient due to low transposition frequencies and integration into ...
A multiscale model for predicting damage evolution in heterogeneous viscoelastic media
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A multiple scale theory is developed for the prediction of damage evolution in heterogeneous viscoelastic media. Asymptotic expansions of the field variables are used to derive a global scale viscoelastic constitutive ...
Genetic relationships and evolutionary history of extant Bowhead whale populations, Balaena mysticetus
(2009-05-15)
Bowhead whales, Balaena mysticetus, are large baleen whales that are
characterized by an Arctic distribution. In order to provide proper management
recommendations to the International Whaling Commission, a panel of ...
The nanoporous morphology of photopolymerized crosslinked polyacrylamide hydrogels
(2009-05-15)
Nanoporous polymer hydrogels offer a desirable combination of mechanical,
optical, and transport characteristics that have placed them at the core of a variety of
biomedical technologies including engineered tissue scaffolds, ...
Moral judgment and public school superintendents in Texas
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was to examine moral judgment of public school
superintendents in Texas when faced with moral dilemmas. The Defining Issues Test-2
was used to measure levels of moral judgment. A demographic survey ...
Phase control in the synthesis of yttrium oxide nano and micro-particles by flame spray pyrolysis
(2009-05-15)
The project synthesizes phase pure Yttria particles using flame spray pyrolysis, and to experimentally determines the effect of various process parameters like residence time, adiabatic flame temperature and precursor ...
On improving performance and conserving power in cluster-based web servers
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Efficiency and power conservation are critical issues in the design of cluster systems
because these two parameters have direct implications on the user experience and the
global need to conserve power. Widely adopted, ...
Turn-of-the-nut tightening of anchor bolts
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Double-nut anchor bolt systems are used in the erection of traffic signal poles, high-mast luminaries, and other highway appurtenances. An absence of a tightening standard for such systems decreases the confidence in their ...
Ethylbenzene dehydrogenation into styrene: kinetic modeling and reactor simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A fundamental kinetic model based upon the Hougen-Watson formalism was
derived as a basis not only for a better understanding of the reaction behavior but also
for the design and simulation of industrial reactors.
Kinetic ...
Three essays on business failure: causality and prediction
(2009-05-15)
This dissertation investigates three issues on business failure causality and prediction. First, a nonlinear model for mathematical programming based discriminant analysis is studied. This study proposes a nonlinear model ...
