The stages of nonprofit advocacy
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation argues that advocacy is a two-stage decision in which
organizations must first decide whether or not to undertake political activity through
advocacy or lobbying and then choose between the set of strategic ...
Improved control of single cycle pulse generation by molecular modulation
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Generation of reproducible attosecond (10-18s) pulses is an exciting goal: in the
same way as femtosecond pulses were used to make "movies" of the atomic motion
in molecules, attosecond pulses could "uncover" the motion ...
Seismic fragility estimates for reinforced concrete framed buildings
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Gravity load designed (GLD) reinforced concrete (RC) buildings represent a common
type of construction in the Mid-America Region. These buildings have limited lateral
resistance and are susceptible to story mechanisms ...
Backward time behavior of dissipative PDE
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
We study behavior for negative times t of the 2D periodic Navier-Stokes equations
and Burgers' original model for turbulence. Both systems are proved to have
rich sets of solutions that exist for all t - R and increase ...
The suprachiasmatic nucleus of the domestic chicken, Gallus domesticus
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The avian circadian system is composed of multiple inputs, oscillators and
outputs. Among its oscillators is a hypothalamic structure presumed to be homologous
to the primary circadian pacemaker in mammals, the suprachiasmatic ...
Role of two secreted proteins from Trichoderma virens in mycoparasitism and induction of plant resistance
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The soil-borne filamentous fungus Trichoderma virens is a biocontrol agent with a well known ability to produce antibiotics, parasitize pathogenic fungi and induce systemic resistance in plants. Here we report the ...
On simple modules for certain pointed Hopf algebras
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In 2003, Radford introduced a new method to construct simple modules for
the DrinfelâÂÂd double of a graded Hopf algebra. Until then, simple modules for such
algebras were usually constructed by taking quotients of Verma ...
''That truth that lives unchangeably'': The role of ontology in the just war tradition
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The just war tradition as we know it has its origins with Christian theology. In
this dissertation, I examine the theological, in particular ontological, presuppositions of
St. Augustine of Hippo in his elucidation of just ...
Integrated high-resolution physical and comparative gene maps in horses
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
High-resolution physically ordered gene maps for the horse (Equus caballus,
ECA) are essential to the identification of genes associated with hereditary diseases and
traits of interest like fertility, coat color, and disease ...
The use of different nutritional strategies and mathematical models to improve production efficiency, profitability, and carcass quality of feedlot cattle
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Forty eight crossbred steers (BW = 296 ñ 16.7 kg) were fed four dietary
treatments for 56 d: AL-LS (low starch diet fed ad libitum for a rate of gain of 1 kg/d),
AL-HS (high starch diet fed ad libitum), LF-HS (a limit ...
