Design and analysis of a 3-dimensional cluster multicomputer architecture using optical interconnection for petaFLOP computing
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this dissertation, the design and analyses of an extremely scalable distributed
multicomputer architecture, using optical interconnects, that has the potential to
deliver in the order of petaFLOP performance is presented ...
The diffuse neuroendocrine system and its immuno-modulatory roles in chicken T-cell immunity
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Neuroendocrine cell populations were systematically studied and characterized in the thymus, an avian primary immune organ. The expression of the specific mRNAs for both Chromogranin A (CgA) and Carboxypeptidase E (CpE) ...
Food web architecture in natural and impounded rivers of the Upper Parana drainage basin, Brazil
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Freshwater ecosystems are some of the most threatened on the planet. Efforts to conserve, restore, or otherwise manage large rivers and the services they provide are hindered by limited understanding of the functional ...
Anaerobic fermentation of rice straw and chicken manure to carboxylic acids
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this work, 80% lime-treated rice straw and 20% lime-treated chicken manure
were used as substrates in rotary fermentors. Countercurrent fermentation was
performed at various volatile solid loading rates (VSLR) and liquid ...
Applying the modified quadriform to measure efficiency in Texas public schools
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The purpose of this study was to identify school districts in the state of Texas that
would be considered efficient based on the modified quadriform model, and to identify
alterable school characteristics most associated ...
Resisting globalization- ATTAC in France: local discourses, global terrain
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The debate over the "globalization" process has been influenced by the emergence of social movements who deplore this process. This research focuses on the French social movement ATTAC (Action for a Tobin Tax for the Aid ...
Parental time and children's obesity measures: a theoretical and empirical investigation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The increased prevalence of childhood obesity is a major concern for society. This
study aims at exploring the influence of the parents (especially parental time allocation
choices) on childrenâÂÂs obesity-related health ...
Cultural impacts on public perceptions of agricultural biotechnology: comparison between South Korea and the United States
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
According to Millar (1996), the gulf between science and society is growing. Technologies
are tools cultures develop to solve society's problems. The rapid dispersion of science and
technology across cultural borders through ...
Power system fault analysis based on intelligent techniques and intelligent electronic device data
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation has focused on automated power system fault analysis. New
contributions to fault section estimation, protection system performance evaluation
and power system/protection system interactive simulation have ...
Mechanisms of hormonal regulation of CAD gene expression and inhibition by Aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist in human breast cancer cells
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The CAD gene is trifunctional and expresses carbamoylphosphate
synthetase/aspartate carbamyltransferase/dihydroorotase, which are required for
pyrimidine biosynthesis. CAD gene activities are induced in MCF-7 human breast ...
