Inter-Kingdom Signaling Interactions in Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli Infections
(2011-10-21)
The overall goal of this research was to understand the role of inter-kingdom signaling in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections of the human gastro-intestinal (GI) tract from the perspective of both the ...
A Study to Determine the Effectiveness of Agriculture/Natural Resource Program Area Committees on the Texas AgriLife Extension Service Program Planning Process
(2011-10-21)
Volunteers play a critical role to Extension by assisting with program planning, provide input and guidance in what direction local Extension programs should take, and provide assistance with program implementation and ...
Piezoelectric Artificial Kelp: Experimentally Validated Parameter Optimization of a Quasi-Static, Flow-Driven Energy Harvester
(2011-10-21)
Piezoelectric energy harvesting is the process of taking an external mechanical input and converting it directly into electrical energy via the piezoelectric effect. To determine the power created by a piezoelectric energy ...
Investigation into the Emissions and Efficiency of Low Temperature Diesel Combustion
(2011-10-21)
As global focus shifts towards the health and conservation of the planet, greater importance is placed upon the hazardous emissions of our fossil fuels, as well as their finite supply. These two areas remain intense topics ...
A Comprehensive Evaluation of Reservoir Inflow and Wellbore Behavior in Intelligent Wells
(2011-10-21)
Intelligent well technology is a relatively new technology that has been adopted
by many operators in recent years to improve oil and gas recovery. Because of its
complexity, accurate modeling of the reservoir and wellbore ...
Characterization Of The Local Electrical Environment In An Electrically-guided Protein Patterning System Incorporating Antifouling Self-assembled Monolayer
(2011-10-21)
In earlier research in our lab, the manipulation of microtubules on gold patterned silicon wafers was achieved by E-beam lithography, Poly (ethylene glycol) self assembled monolayers (PEG-SAMs) and electrophoresis. To ...
Original Texas Land Survey as a Source for Pre-European Settlement Vegetation Mapping
(2012-02-14)
Past events and present environmental conditions may alter vegetation cover and composition over decadal timescales by exerting persistent effects on modern vegetation patterns and consequently influencing species distribution ...
Simulating the Effect of Water on the Fracture System of Shale Gas Wells
(2011-10-21)
It was observed that many hydraulically fractured horizontal shale gas wells
exhibit transient linear flow behavior. A half-slope on a type curve represents this
transient linear flow behavior. Shale gas wells show a ...
Meta-analysis of Video Based Modeling Interventions for Individuals with Disabilities: Procedure, Participant, and Skill Specificity
(2012-07-16)
The purpose of the present research was to address gaps in the video based modeling (VBM) literature through the use of meta-analytic techniques to provide clarity and specificity regarding the practical utility of VBM for ...
Heterosis and Heterosis Retention for Reproductive and Maternal Traits in Brahman x Hereford Crossbred Cows
(2012-02-14)
Calf crop born, calf crop weaned, calf birth weight, calf weaning weight, and cow weight at weaning were evaluated from 1996 to 2009 in Brahman (B) and Hereford (H) straightbred and crossbred cows (n = 1,515). The objective ...
