Pharmacokinetic disposition of lidocaine and its metabolites following a single intravenous dose in healthy and proteinuric dogs
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The first objective of this study was to establish the time course of lidocaine and its metabolites, monoethylglycinexylidide (MEGX) and glycinexylidide (GX), in clinically normal dogs. The ultimate goal was to identify ...
Optimization of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear actuator
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
In this study the geometry of a dual acting, magnetically driven, linear motion actuator will be optimized. This will be accomplished by modeling the system through a set of differential equations to be solved in Matlab. ...
Aerosol-to-Hydrosol Transfer Stages for use in bioaerosol sampling
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Single-Jet and Multi-Jet Aerosol to Hydrosol Transfer Stages (AHTS) with cutpoints of 2 and 0.8 []m AD, respectively, were designed and evaluated. Both devices operate at nominal air sampling flow rate of 1 L/min, 0.1% ...
What has Chihara's mathematical nominalism gained over mathematical realism?
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The indispensability argument, which claims that science requires beliefs in mathematical entities, gives a strong motivation for mathematical realism. However, mathematical realism bears Benacerrafian ontological and ...
In-between Southerners: European immigrants and racial violence in Brazos County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Five black men died in Brazos County, Texas, in a series of violent racial incidents in 1896, 1897, and 1900-01. At first glance, nothing seemed exceptional about their deaths. The causes were unremarkable: each of the ...
Method for the assessment of airborne off-target pesticide spray concentrations due to aircraft wing-tip vortex
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a method for assessing airborne concentrations caused by off-target pesticide drift. Concentrations are bounded by the worst credible circumstances within a normal aircraft pesticide ...
High pressure testing of see-through labyrinth seals
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Detailed results are presented for teeth-on-stator labyrinth seals tested under high pressure of 70 bar-a (1015 psi-a) and 52 bar-a (754 psi-a) in the centered position. The seals were tested at pressure ratios of 0.52, ...
Production of high voltage by ion bombardment
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
A beam of He+ ions was used to bombard a conductive target, allowing the target to build up a voltage. The voltage that built up on the target was measured by using a voltage divider circuit. The target was made out of ...
From hatemonger to hero: the rhetorical transformation of Malcolm X
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Since Malcolm X first emerged onto the American political landscape in the late 1950s, he has received much attention. Identifying and comprehending the significant narratives, ideographs, and characterizations within the ...
The feds and enviros can't tell us who we are: a discourse analysis of identity resistance strategies of public lands ranchers
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The purpose of this study was to examine how the social identities of public lands ranchers engaged in conflict with a government agency and environmental interest groups were discursively constructed and resisted within ...
