Clinical overlap between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder in male veterans
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The associated features, high rates of comorbidity and chronicity of
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) raise
questions regarding the distinctiveness of the two disorders. The ...
Electronic localization versus delocalization: a dimetal approach
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A series of dimolybdenum compounds having a Mo2
4+ core coordinated by various
ligands, including formamidinate (e.g. DAniF = N, NN-di-p-ansisylformamidinate ), acetate
and/or acetonitrile molecules, have been synthesized ...
Mechanisms of Wnt8 function in zebrafish mesoderm patterning
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In vertebrate embryonic development, correct specification of tissue fates along the
dorsoventral (D/V) axis is known to require the secreted signaling ligand Wnt8. Wnt8
signaling promotes ventral fates and antagonizes the ...
Public attitudes toward the use of force and presidential crisis responses
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This dissertation explores the role of public opinion in U.S. presidential decisions
to employ various alternatives in response to an international crisis. Presidents may
choose from a range of force alternatives, including ...
Resource conservation through a hierarchical approach of mass and energy integration
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The objective of this work was to develop a systematic methodology for
simultaneously targeting and optimizing heating, cooling, power cogeneration, and
waste management for any processing facility. A systems approach was ...
Structural and stratigraphic evolution of the central Mississippi Canyon Area: interaction of salt tectonics and slope processes in the formation of engineering and geologic hazards
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
Approximately 720 square miles of digital 3-dimensional seismic data covering
the eastern Mississippi Canyon area, Gulf of Mexico, continental shelf was used to
examine the structural and stratigraphic evolution of the ...
Phylogenetic analysis of tribe habrolepidini and revision of Homalopoda and Ceraptroceroideus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
A taxonomic and phylogenetic study of the tribe Habrolepidini is described. A cladistic analysis was carried out in order to establish the phylogenetic relationships of the supraspecific taxa of the tribe. An illustrated ...
The bipyridyl herbicide paraquat-induced toxicity in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells: relevance to dopaminergic pathogenesis
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Paraquat (PQ) is a cationic non-selective bipyridyl herbicide widely used in
agriculture to control weeds and grasses. Epidemiologic studies indicate that exposure to
pesticides can be a risk factor in the incidence of ...
A Monte Carlo investigation of robustness to nonnormal incomplete data of multilevel modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Due to its increasing popularity, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) has been
used along with structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze data with nested
structure. In spite of the extensive research on commonly encountered ...
Stokesian dynamic simulations and analyses of interfacial and bulk colloidal fluids
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Understanding dynamics of colloidal dispersions is important for several
applications ranging from coatings such as paints to growing colloidal crystals for
photonic bandgap materials. The research outlined in this ...
