An investigation of a professional development program using industry partnerships and student achievement
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
This investigation examined the impact on student achievement of teachers who participated in a professional development program using industry partnerships. One treatment and one non-treatment school in a large urban ...
Investigations on the use of main group metal complexes of salen ligands as catalysts for the copolymerization of CO2 and epoxides
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Current industrial processes for the production of polycarbonates, a thermoplastic valued for commercial applications, leave much to be desired from an environmental viewpoint. Research into alternative methods for production ...
Binational collaboration in recovery of endangered species: the Mexican wolf as a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The goal of this inductive study was to identify factors that facilitate and inhibit binational collaboration in the recovery of endangered species in the northern Mexico borderlands, focusing on the Mexican wolf (Canis ...
International monetary relations between the United States, France, and West Germany in the 1970s
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The United States acted unilaterally to terminate the Bretton Woods monetary system in August 1971, and international exchange rate management went from a regime of fixed to floating parities, much to the displeasure of ...
Biophysical characterization of protein folding and misfolding.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The HPr proteins were characterized as folding by a two-state folding mechanism. Here, we present a comparison of the equilibrium and kinetic folding for the HPr protein from Bacillus subtilis, E coli and a key variant ...
Single echo acquisition magnetic resonance imaging
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
The dramatic improvement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan time over the past fifteen years through gradient-based methods that sample k-space more efficiently and quickly cannot be sustained, as thresholds regarding ...
Capital mobility and sudden stops: consequences and policy options
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation attempts in three essays to contribute to the growing body of research on the problems associated with sudden stops of capital inflows, known to have been at the heart of many recent emerging market crises. ...
Characterization of design parameters for fiber reinforced polymer composite reinforced concrete systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures results in significant repair and rehabilitation costs. In the past several years, new fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been introduced as an ...
Synthesis and characterization of covalently-linked dendrimer bioconjugates and the non-covalent self-assembly of streptavidin-based megamers
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This work details the attachment of dendrimers to proteins, peptides and single stranded DNA (ssDNA). Dendrimers based on melamine satisfy many of the synthetic demands in the field of bioconjugate chemistry including: ...
The study of middle school teachers' understanding and use of mathematical representation in relation to teachers' zone of proximal development in teaching fractions and algebraic functions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This study examined teachers' learning and understanding of mathematical representation through the Middle School Mathematics Project (MSMP) professional development, investigated teachers' use of mathematics representations ...
