Cyanide-catalyzed C-C bond formation: synthesis of novel compounds, materials and ligands for homogeneous catalysis
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Cyanide-catalyzed aldimine coupling was employed to synthesize compounds
with 1,2-ene-diamine and ñ-imine-amine structural motifs: 1,2,N,N'-
tetraphenyletheylene-1,2-diamine (13) and (+/-)-2,3-di-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,2 ...
The comparative effect of individually-generated vs. collaboratively-generated computer-based concept mapping on science concept learning
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Using a quasi-experimental design, the researcher investigated the comparative effects of individually-generated and collaboratively-generated computer-based concept mapping on middle school science concept learning. ...
142pr glass seeds for the brachytherapy of prostate cancer
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
A beta-emitting glass seed was proposed for the brachytherapy treatment of prostate cancer. Criteria for seed design were derived and several beta-emitting nuclides were examined for suitability. 142Pr was selected as the ...
"Grow up you big baby!": the experience and effects of teasing in adulthood
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The immediate effects of teasing on children and
adolescents are well documented, but in recent years, the
long-term effects of teasing on adults have gained research
attention. Recollections of teasing during youth ...
A critical dictionary of Herman Melville's Polynesian terms
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The dissertation is divided into five chapters and focuses primarily on MelvilleâÂÂs
Typee, Omoo, Mardi, and Moby Dick.
Chapter I introduces the idea that Melville understood Polynesian better than
what critics have ...
Supersonic turbulent boundary layers with periodic mechanical non-equilibrium
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Previous studies have shown that favorable pressure gradients reduce the
turbulence levels and length scales in supersonic flow. Wall roughness has been shown to
reduce the large-scales in wall bounded flow. Based on these ...
Cost minimization in multi−commodity multi−mode generalized networks with time windows
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The purpose of this research is to develop a heuristic algorithm to minimize total
costs in multi-commodity, multi-mode generalized networks with time windows
problems. The proposed mathematical model incorporates features ...
Astrocyte-derived nitric oxide in manganese neurotoxicity: from cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying selective neuronal vulnerability in the basal ganglia to potential therapeutic modalities
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Chronic exposure to manganese (Mn) causes the neurodegenerative movement disorder, manganism. A mouse model was developed to elucidate mechanisms involved in the etiology and progression of injury. Twelve-week old female ...
When pixels speak: why video games deserve free speech protection; why video games will not receive free speech protection
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation examines how games have been construed legally and publicly
and compares the nature of games to the de facto legal criteria: in order for games to
receive free speech protection, games must inform and ...
Neurotoxic mechanisms of methylmercury: cellular and behavior changes
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The organic or methylated form of mercury (Hg), consisting of one methyl group
bound to each atom of Hg, (methylmercury; MeHg), accounts for most of the Hg to
which humans are exposed. MeHg, by virtue of its lipophilicity ...
