Metabolism of mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by Cunninghamella elegans
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are environmentally significant compounds due to the toxicity of some members. They are ubiquitous and are persistent bioaccumulative toxins(PBTs). The toxicity of PAHs represents a ...
16th Century Cast-Bronze Ordnance at the Museu de Angra do Heroismo
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Within the collections of the Museu de Angra do Heroismo (Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal) are nine cast bronze guns from the 16th century. Most were raised from the seafloor between the 1960s and 1990s, but this study ...
Impes modeling of volumetric dry gas reservoirs with mobile water
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
As the importance of natural gas as a resource increases, the importance of volumetric dry gas reservoirs with mobile water as the dominant gas reservoir types will also increase.
This research developed an efficient, ...
Alone in the profession of arms: America's first three African American West Point graduates
(2009-05-15)
Following Emancipation, many African Americans came to view military service as a crucial step toward the greater acceptance of blacks into American society and, potentially, toward complete citizenship. Military service ...
Monte Carlo simulations of solid walled proportional counters with different site size for HZE radiation
(2009-05-15)
Characterizing high z high energy (HZE) particles in cosmic radiation is of importance
for the study of the equivalent dose to astronauts. Low pressure, tissue equivalent
proportional counters (TEPC) are routinely used to ...
Design of a 10 MHz Transimpedance Low-Pass Filter with Sharp Roll-Off for a Direct Conversion Wireless Receiver
(2010-07-14)
A fully-differential base-band transimpedance low-pass filter is designed for use
in a direct conversion wireless receiver. Existing base-band transimpedance amplifiers
(TIA) often utilize single-pole filters which do not ...
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE ADOPTION AND ITS EFFECTS IN TEXAS
(2010-01-20)
The purpose of my thesis is to study what factors affect the adoption of impact fees in Texas and what effects impact fees have on city budgets. This research was done using two models. The first model looked at the adoption ...
Viscoelastic Analysis of Sandwich Beams Having Aluminum and Fiber-reinforced Polymer Skins with a Polystyrene Foam Core
(2010-07-14)
Sandwich beams are composite systems having high stiffness-to-weight and
strength-to-weight ratios and are used as light weight load bearing components. The use
of thin, strong skin sheets adhered to thicker, lightweight ...
Biosocial reciprocity in environmental communication: a study of giant panda conservation communication in China
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This study proposes biosocial reciprocity framework in environmental
communication, which suggests the interdependent relationships between mass media,
people's attitudes, and the physical environment. Biosocial reciprocity ...
Population structure of Acrotrichis xanthocera (Matthews) (Coleoptera: Ptiliidae) in the Klamath Ecoregion of northwestern California, inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequence variation
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The Klamath-Siskiyou Ecoregion of northern California and southern Oregon has extremely high biodiversity, but conservation centers on the protection of habitat for the northern spotted owl. A network of late successional ...
