Development of an infrared absorption spectroscope based on linear variable filters
(2009-05-15)
The objective of this thesis is to develop a low-cost infrared absorption spectroscope
based on linear variable filter (LVF) technology for the automated detection of gases and
vapors, and the semi-automated detection of ...
The effect of flaxseed hulls on expanded corn meal products
(2009-05-15)
Brown flaxseed hulls were added to de-germed corn meal and processed into
extrudates with acceptable texture and increased nutritional benefits. The addition of
brown flaxseed hulls to a corn based expanded snack increases ...
Quality of service analysis for hybrid-ARQ
(2009-05-15)
Data intensive applications, requiring reliability and strict delay constraints,
have emerged recently and they necessitate a different approach to analyzing system
performance. In my work, I establish a framework that ...
An algorithm for identifying clusters of functionally related genes in genomes
(2009-05-15)
An increasing body of literature shows that genomes of eukaryotes can contain
clusters of functionally related genes. Most approaches to identify gene clusters utilize
microarray data or metabolic pathway databases to find ...
National human resource development in the developing world: the Republic of Kazakhstan
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of this study was two-fold. The first was to explore, describe and define
the emerging construct of Human Resource Development (HRD) in the Republic of
Kazakhstan (RKZ). The second was to examine specific ...
Robust concatenated codes for the slow Rayleigh fading channel
(2009-05-15)
In this thesis, we design a robust concatenated code for the Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output (MIMO) system in the presence of slow Rayleigh fading with no
channel side information at the transmitter (no CSIT) and perfect ...
QTL mapping of high digestibility trait in sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(2009-05-15)
As compared with other cereal grains, Sorghum bicolor shows very low levels ofprotein digestibility when exposed to proteolytic enzymes. Protein digestibility furtherdecreases when sorghum is cooked. It is speculated that ...
The Tsr chemoreceptor/CheW/CheA ternary complex as an allosteric enzyme
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The transmembrane serine receptor Tsr associates with a coupling protein, CheW,
and a histidine kinase, CheA, to form a ternary complex that regulates the activity of
CheA. CheA activity is inhibited by binding of L-serine ...
Tenderness, flavor, and yield assessments of dry-aged beef
(2009-05-15)
Top Choice (n = 48) and Select (n = 48) paired bone-in ribeye rolls, bone-in strip
loins, and boneless top sirloin butts were assigned randomly to one of two aging
treatments (dry or wet) and aged 14, 21, 28 or 35 days. ...
Multiscalar line measurements in nonisobaric high-pressure underexpanded supersonic jets using rotational-vibrational raman spectroscopy
(2009-05-15)
This work describes the development of a Raman spectroscopy system for
measuring aerothermochemistry in high-speed jets and flames. A transmissive grating
spectrometer was newly developed for capturing pure rotational Raman ...
