Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis PHT4 family of intracellular phosphate transporters
(2009-05-15)
The transport of phosphate (Pi) between subcellular compartments is central to
metabolic regulation. Although some of the transporters involved in controlling the
intracellular distribution of Pi have been identified in ...
Incorporation of analgesics into rodent embryo transfer protocols: assessing the effects on reproductive outcomes
(2009-05-15)
Surgical embryo transfer in rodents is a common procedure in today’s research
laboratory, although little is known of the effect analgesics may have on not only the
recipient female but also the embryos. Two perioperative ...
The physical and emotional benefits of companion animals
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Elderly people are at high risk for conditions associated with inactivity, and lack
of motivation is an important factor contributing to this inactivity. It is believed that a dog
can provide the necessary motivation to ...
Carrier envelope phase stabilization of a femtosecond laser and iodine spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The carrier envelope (CE) phase of a femtosecond laser was stabilized. The laser
produces an ultra stable comb of frequency spanning the visible region and basically is
an optical frequency synthesizer and ready for the ...
Optimal dimensionless design and analysis of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A jet ejector may be used as a compressor or to enhance thrust of watercraft or aircraft. Optimization of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters was conducted using the software GAMBIT (Computer Aided Engineering ...
Risk assessment of surface vs subsea blowout preventers (bops) on mobile offshore drilling units focusing on riser failure and the use of subsea shear rams
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The use of a slim, high-pressure drilling riser for surface blowout preventer operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico was assessed as an alternative to conventional drilling procedures from floating units. Comparison ...
Nonlinearity and noise modeling of operational transconductance amplifiers for continuous time analog filters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A general framework for performance optimization of continuous-time OTA-C
(Operational Transconductance Amplifier-Capacitor) filters is proposed. Efficient
procedures for evaluating nonlinear distortion and noise valid for ...
Neutronic analysis of pebble-bed cores with transuranics
(2009-05-15)
At the brink of nuclear waste repository crises, viable alternatives for the long
term radiotoxic wastes are seriously being considered worldwide. Minor actinides serve
as one of these targeted wastes. Partitioning and ...
Completion methods in thick, multilayered tight gas sands
(2009-05-15)
Tight gas sands, coal-bed methane, and gas shales are commonly called
unconventional reservoirs. Tight gas sands (TGS) are often described as
formations with an expected average permeability of 0.1mD or less. Gas
production ...
Design of a 3.1-4.8 GHZ RF front-end for an ultra wideband receiver
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
IEEE 802.15 High Rate Alternative PHY task group (TG3a) is working to define
a protocol for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) which makes it possible to
attain data rates of greater than 110Mbps. Ultra Wideband (UWB) ...
