Kinematics measurements of regular, irregular, and rogue waves by PIV/LDV
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
A comprehensive experimental study was conducted to produce benchmark wave
kinematics data for five different regular waves and the maxima of four different irregular
wave trains. Two of the irregular waves generated are ...
Thermocatalytic decomposition of vulcanized rubber
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Used vulcanized rubber tires have caused serious trouble worldwide. Current disposal and recycling methods all have undesirable side effects, and they generally do not produce maximum benefits. A thermocatalytic process ...
Sequence assembly and annotation of the bovine major histocompatibility complex (BoLA) class IIb region, and in silico detection of sequence polymorphisms in BoLA IIb
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Cattle are vitally important to American agriculture industry, generating over 24.6
billion pounds of beef (by carcass weight), and 79.5 billion dollars in 2005, and over 27
billion dollars in milk sales in 2004. As of ...
Successful reentry into the workplace: a case study of the experiences of female welfare recipients participating in two job training programs
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This case study investigated eight welfare recipients and their perceptions of the
effectiveness of the job training programs in which they participated in an effort to
understand the domains in which welfare-reliant ...
Development of an advanced nanocalorimetry system for rapid material characterizations
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
The development of a versatile system capable of providing rapid, portable, and
inexpensive detection of explosives and energetic compounds is needed critically to offer
an enhanced level of protection against current and ...
Challenging hegemony in education: specific parrhesiastic scholars, care of the self, and relations of power
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation explores how five specific intellectuals challenge hegemony in education and society, and express uncomfortable truths about hegemony faced by local communities in their academic practices. Their actions ...
Politics of collective belonging: loyalties in the European Union
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Why do some citizens of the European Union feel indeed European and
others do not? Although the officials of the European Union introduced many
symbols and discourses of unity, empirical studies show that the development ...
Design of CMOS integrated phase-locked loops for multi-gigabits serial data links
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
High-speed serial data links are quickly gaining in popularity and replacing the
conventional parallel data links in recent years when the data rate of communication
exceeds one gigabits per second. Compared with parallel ...
Isolation and effects of citrus limonoids on cytochrome p450 inhibition, apoptotic induction and cytotoxicity on human cancer cells.
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation illustrates an efficient purification method for citrus
limonoids and flavonoids, while examining their effects on cytochrome P450
inhibition and apoptotic induction on human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) ...
Investigation of an electrooptic tunable filter in lithium niobate
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
A polarization independent electrooptic add/drop tunable filter fabricated on a
LiNbO3 substrate with a narrow -3 dB bandwidth (FWHM) of 1.56 nm operating in the
1.55 üm wavelength regime has been developed to meet the ...
