Rock art boundaries: considering geographically limited elements within the Pecos River Style
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This thesis examines six prominent Pecos River Style rock art anthropomorph attributes to determine if they are found in limited geographic districts of the Lower Pecos Region. Both Boyd (2003) and Turpin (2004) have ...
A design approach to a risk review for fuel cell-based distributed cogeneration systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
A risk review of a fuel cell-based distributed co-generation (FC-Based DCG) system was conducted to identify and quantify the major technological system risks in a worst-case scenario. A risk review entails both a risk ...
A microsimulation analysis of highway intersections near highway-railroad grade crossings
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
The purpose of this thesis was to perform microsimulation analyses on intersections near Highway-Railroad Grade Crossings (HRGCs) to determine if controlling mean train speed and train speed variability would improve safety ...
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, ...
Studies of the chemical mechanisms of flavoenzymes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Flavocytochrome b2 catalyzes the oxidation of lactate to pyruvate. Primary deuterium and solvent kinetic isotope effects have been used to determine the relative timing of cleavage of the lactate OH and CH bonds by the ...
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 ...
Differential cytokine mRNA expression induced by binding of virulent and avirulent molecularly cloned equine infectious anemia viruses to equine macrophages
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) causes rapid development of acute disease followed by recurring episodes of fever, thrombocytopenia and viremia, termed chronic EIA. Most infected horses control the virus by immune ...
A comparative study of housing reconstruction after two major earthquakes: The 1994 Northridge earthquake in the United States and the 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake in Taiwan
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Though the idea of pre-impact recovery preparedness planning has recently been promoted by federal and state governments, very little research has been done to evaluate how it affects the process of disaster recovery. This ...
HPLC separation of amines with a zirconia-based column coupled to a gas- phase chemiluminescence nitrogen specific detector (CLND)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Gas phase chemiluminescence nitrogen specific detector (CLND)is used for the direct analysis of underivatized nitrogen-containing components such as alkylamines that can not be detected by the so called universal HPLC ...
