Essays on monetary policy and international trade
(2009-05-15)
The dissertation consists of three essays. Chapter II examines the asymmetric
effects of monetary policy on stock prices by using an unobserved components model
with Markov-switching. My results show that monetary policy ...
The Role of the TM2-HAMP Junction in Control of the Signaling State of the Aspartate Chemoreceptor of E. coli
(2010-10-12)
The mechanism of allosteric coupling between the external ligand-binding domain and the internal signaling domain of bacterial chemoreceptors is poorly understood. Genetic, biochemical, and biophysical evidence suggests ...
Measurement calibration/tuning & topology processing in power system state estimation
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
State estimation plays an important role in modern power systems. The errors in the telemetered measurements and the connectivity information of the network will greatly contaminate the estimated system state. This ...
Feral Africanized honey bee ecology in a coastal prairie landscape
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Honey bees, Apis mellifera, play an important role in many ecosystems, pollinating a wide variety of native, agricultural, and exotic plants. The recent decline in the number of feral and managed honey bee colonies in ...

Combinatorial design and synthesis of peptidomimics and small molecules for protein-protein interactions
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The solid phase combinatorial method is an excellent tool for the modulation of
protein-protein interactions through focused library generations. Nucleophilic aromatic
substitution reactions with an iodinated template on ...
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 ...
