A national assessment of wildlife information transfer to the public
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
A self-administered questionnaire was developed using the Tailored Design Method (Dillman 2000) to assess how information about wildlife, beyond traditional hunting and fishing issues, was transferred to the public by the ...
Mechanism of the Heck reaction: nature of oxidative addition and alkene insertion
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The mechanism of carbon coupling reactions is traditionally represented in a very broad schematic. This thesis seeks to explore the mechanism of these reactions by focusing on Heck olefination. The Heck reaction has ...
Agricultural biotechnology and Indian newspapers
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This study is designed to look into how agricultural biotechnology is covered by Indian newspapers. A through study of the literature showed that agricultural biotechnology is a much debated topic and there is a vast ...
Distributed motion planning algorithms for a collection of vehicles
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Unmanned Vehicles (UVs) currently perform a variety of tasks critical to a
military mission. In future, they are envisioned to have the ability to accomplish a
mission co-operatively and effectively with limited fuel ...
Genetic analysis of the Kemp's ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys kempii) and estimates of effective population size
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The critically endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtle experienced a dramatic decline in population size (demographic bottleneck) between 1947 and 1987 from 160,000 mature individuals to less than 5000. Demographic bottlenecks ...
Genetic variation in somatic embryogenesis of Rosa Hybrida L.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
An in vitro technique was adapted for screening the ability of Rosa hybrida L. genotypes to form embryogenic callus to elucidate the inheritance of this ability. Filament and leaf petiole explants of modern rose cultivars ...
Direct numerical simulation of particle-laden turbulence in a straight square duct
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Particle-laden turbulent flow through a straight square duct at Reτ = 300 is studied using direct numerical simulation (DNS) and Lagrangian particle tracking. A parallelized 3-D particle tracking direct numerical simulation ...

This thesis presents The Jesus: a project about the representation of the Crucifixion in Renaissance art. After determining the cultural codes for depicting women, it is established that Renaissance representations of the ...
Investigation of factors influencing feedlot performance and profitability in the 2001-2002 Texas A&M ranch to rail program- south
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Data from the 2001-2002 Texas A&M University Ranch to Rail Program-South were used to determine factors that influence cattle feedlot performance and profitability. Steers (n=860) were classified according to sire (SBIO) ...
Investigation of feasibility of injecting power plant waste gases for enhanced coalbed methane recovery from low rank coals in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) may be to blame for a gradual rise in the average global temperature. The state of Texas emits more CO2 than any other state in the U.S., and a large fraction of emissions are ...
