Stacking Pima S-6 fiber length alleles in a Tamcot 2111 background
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Molecular markers can be used to stack fiber quality alleles among recombinant inbred lines and thus, aid in the development of unique genotypes. The objective of this study was to determine the potential for stacking ...
A defense of Kantian internalism against Aristotelian approaches to practical reasoning
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Kantian internalism was developed in part as a response to objections to Kantian ethical theory leveled by philosophers such as Bernard Williams and Michael Stocker. Their arguments are evaluated in light of Kantian ...
Models for liquid droplet dynamics
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Aerosol is a suspension of solid or liquid particles in a gas. Determining the behaviour of aerosols is a complex and important problem. In this research I have done scientific computations for validating the FLACS code ...
The role of apolipoprotein VLDL-II in regulating the diameter of VLDLy
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The physiological function of each class of lipoproteins is dictated in part by the structural biology of the lipoprotein particle. Proteins embedded in the superficial phospholipid monolayer (apolipoproteins) facilitate ...
Comparison of soy protein concentrates produced by membrane filtration and acid precipitation
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The recovery of proteins using ultrafiltration (UF) process is an attractive alternative compared to conventional acid precipitation method. The mild processing condition, which leads to less protein denaturation, may be ...
A power aware partitioning framework for hardware-software codesign
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Existing approaches in hardware-software partitioning do not consider the maximum available system power while making the partitioning decision. Such a decision is sensitive to design efficiency when the target system is ...
Engineering antibody fragments for use in an assay to capture Escherichia coli O157:H7
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an emerging cause of foodborne illness with the occurrence of an estimated 20,000 illnesses and 250 deaths each year in the United States. Human illness associated with E.coli O157:H7, including ...
Effects of sea severity on wave-overtopping for FPSO fixed in head seas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A series of experiments applying regular linear, nonlinear waves (Stokes 5th order-like) and random waves on a fixed FPSO model were performed in the wave-flume tank. Statistical information was gathered for wave overtopping ...
Factors affecting the permanence of livestock projects undertaken by Heifer International-Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Heifer International-Mexico (HI-M), a hunger-relieving non-profit organization, collaborates with the Direccin̤ General de Educacin̤ Tecnolg̤ica Agropecuaria-Durango (DGETA) to establish livestock projects involving ...
Re-examination of the current architectural curriculum at Kuwait University
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
As we enter the twenty-first century, it is impossible to ignore that society is growing increasingly more complex. As each year passes, this increasingly complex world requires architects who can contribute to larger, ...
