Anisotropic Characterization and Performance Prediction of Chemically and Hydraulically Bounded Pavement Foundations
(2010-10-12)
The aggregate base layer is a vital part of the flexible pavement system. Unlike rigid
pavements, the base layer provides a substantial contribution to the load bearing capacity in
flexible pavements, and this contribution ...
Understanding Beef Cattle Efficiency: I) Understanding Physiological and Digestive Factors Affecting Residual Feed Intake and II) Tannin Supplementation: Effects on Animal Performance, Fermentation, and Carcass Traits
(2010-10-12)
Objectives of this study were 1) to characterize the relationship between beef
cattle efficiency, namely residual feed intake (RFI), and digestive, microbial, and
fermentation parameters in growing beef calves and 2) to ...
Docosahexaenoic acid and butyrate synergistically modulate intracellular calcium compartmentalization to induce colonocyte apoptosis
(2009-05-15)
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) from fish oil, and butyrate, a short-chain
fatty acid fiber-fermentation product, protect against colon tumorigenesis in part by
coordinately inducing apoptosis. We have demonstrated ...
Amorphous silicon thin film transistor as nonvolatile device.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
n-channel and p-channel amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors (a-Si:H TFTs)
with copper electrodes prepared by a novel plasma etching process have been fabricated
and studied. Their characteristics are similar to those ...
The use of PCR-based methodologies to characterize salmonella serotypes of poultry origin
(2009-05-15)
Three studies were conducted to investigate the use of molecular techniques to
identify Salmonella serotypes in poultry. In the first experiment, two polymerase chain
reaction (PCR)-based techniques: denaturing gradient ...
Novel mechanisms for regulating polyphosphate metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
To ensure a continuous supply of phosphate, living organisms have devised complex mechanisms to regulate the uptake and subsequent utilization of this essential nutrient. An important aspect of phosphate metabolism is the ...
CMOS RF front-end design for terrestrial and mobile digital television systems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
With the increasing demand for high quality TV service, digital television (DTV) is
replacing the conventional analog television. DTV tuner is one of the most critical blocks
of the DTV receiver system; it down-converts ...
Metal catalyzed copolymerization processes involving carbon oxides as substrates
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
Studies concerning two different copolymerization processes are detailed in this
dissertation: propylene oxide/CO2 coupling to afford poly(propylene carbonate) and Nbutylaziridine/
CO coupling to afford poly-??-butylalanoid. ...
Exact polynomial system solving for robust geometric computation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
I describe an exact method for computing roots of a system of multivariate
polynomials with rational coefficients, called the rational univariate reduction. This
method enables performance of exact algebraic computation ...
Analog integrated circuit design techniques for high-speed signal processing in communications systems
(2009-05-15)
This work presents design techniques for the implementation of high-speed analog
integrated circuits for wireless and wireline communications systems.
Limitations commonly found in high-speed switched-capacitor (SC) circuits ...
