A motion planning approach to protein folding
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Protein folding is considered to be one of the grand challenge problems in biology. Protein folding refers to how a protein's amino acid sequence, under certain physiological conditions, folds into a stable close-packed ...
A thin film transistor driven microchannel device
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Novel electrophoresis devices for protein and DNA separation and identification
have been presented and studied. The new device utilizes a contact resistance change
detection method to identify protein and DNA in situ. ...
Optimal shape design for a layered periodic structure
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A multi-layered periodic structure is investigated
for optimal shape design in diffraction gratings. A periodic dielectric material is used as the scattering profile for a planar incident wave.
Designing optimal ...
Dispositional reflections
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
In this dissertation, I explicate how scholars implicate themselves in the subfield of organizational communication studies by engaging in antinomic language-games which make the conduct of research (and textwork in ...
CD8+ T cell antiviral activity: mechanism of induction and the suppression of emerging feline immunodeficiency virus strains
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
In the present studies, the essential role of inducer cells for the induction of soluble anti-viral activity against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) was investigated. Induction of suppression of FIV replication was ...
Modeling defective part level due to static and dynamic defects based upon site observation and excitation balance
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Manufacture testing of digital integrated circuits is essential for high quality. However, exhaustive testing is impractical, and only a small subset of all possible test patterns (or test pattern pairs) may be applied. ...
The monitoring and multiplexing of fiber optic sensors using chirped laser sources
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A wide band linearly chirped erbium-doped fiber laser has been developed. The erbium-doped fiber laser using a rotating mirror/grating combination as one of the reflectors in a Fabry-Perot laser cavity has been tuned over ...
Gene-environment interactions in genetic epidemiology
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Gene-environment interactions are an area of increasing interest in complex hu-
man diseases. The first step in any study of the interactions between genes and the
environment involves identifying genes which influence ...
Three-dimensional hybrid grid generator and unstructured flow solver for compressors and turbines
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
A numerical method for the simulation of compressible turbulent flows is presented. This method includes a novel hybrid grid generation for airfoil cascades and an unstructured mesh flow solver. The mesh tool ...
Catalysts for the hydrolysis of thiophosphate triesters
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
The degradation of phosphate triesters is efficiently catalyzed by organophosphate hydrolases (OPH). While a number of recent studies have focused on optimizing the rate of hydrolysis observed with the native enzyme, no ...
