Stochastic volatility models with persistent latent factors: theory and its applications to asset prices
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
We consider the stochastic volatility model with smooth transition and persistent la-
tent factors. We argue that this model has advantages over the conventional stochastic
model for the persistent volatility factor. ...
MicroRNA expression in canine mammary cancer
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a vital role in differentiation, proliferation and tumorigenesis by binding to messenger RNAs (mRNA) and inhibiting translation. To initiate an investigation into the identification of miRNAs in the ...
Interaction of temperature, dissolved oxygen and feed energy on ecophysiological performance of juvenile red drum
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) is important for recreational fishing and
aquacultural production in Texas' coastal waters and elsewhere in the nearshore Gulf of
Mexico and in subtemperate to subtropical areas of the ...

Measuring optical absorption coefficient of pure water in UV using the integrating cavity absorption meter.
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The integrating cavity absorption meter (ICAM) has been used successfully to measure
the low absorption coefficient of pure water. The ICAM produces an effective total path
length of several meters or even longer, although ...

requirements (FWIB) to protect environmental flows and ...
Stable and scalable congestion control for high-speed heterogeneous networks
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
For any congestion control mechanisms, the most fundamental design objectives
are stability and scalability. However, achieving both properties are very challenging
in such a heterogeneous environment as the Internet. ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Theoretical and numerical studies of chaotic mixing are performed to circumvent the difficulties
of efficient mixing, which come from the lack of turbulence in microfluidic devices. In order to
carry out efficient and ...
