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 ...
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: ...
Metmyoglobin reducing ability and visual characteristics of nine selected bovine muscles
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Nine bovine muscles (m. adductor, m. gluteobiceps, m. gluteus medius, m. longissimus lumborum, m. longissimus thoracis, m. psoas major, m. semimembranosus,
m. supraspinatus and m. semitendinosus) were removed from beef ...
Bayesian model-based approaches with MCMC computation to some bioinformatics problems
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
Bioinformatics applications can address the transfer of information at several stages
of the central dogma of molecular biology, including transcription and translation.
This dissertation focuses on using Bayesian models ...
High resolution linkage and association study of quantitative trait loci
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
As a large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and microsatellite
markers are available, high resolution mapping employing multiple markers or
multiple allele markers is an important step to identify quantitative ...
Evaluation of a theoretical model of perceptual accuracy and self-management behavior in pediatric diabetes
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)
This study evaluated a model of perceptual accuracy and self-management
behavior in pediatric diabetes. Participants were 169 children and adolescents (10-18
years) attending diabetes summer camps. Error grid analysis ...
Leadership competencies and perceptions of students following a traditional or web-based graduate academic leadership course
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)
The intent of this study was to determine if leadership competency levels of the
students enrolled in a graduate level leadership course were different when taught in
Web-based versus traditional classroom settings. ...
Woodland development and soil carbon and nitrogen dynamics and storage in a subtropical savanna ecosystem
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Woody plant invasion of grasslands is prevalent worldwide, but the biogeochemical consequences of this vegetation shift remain largely unquantified. In the Rio Grande Plains, TX, grasslands and savannas dominated by C4 ...
The logic of regionalism: a comparative study of regionalism in Europe and Asia
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Why do some states develop deeper regionalism while others do not? Comparing European and Asian regionalism, this study provides an alternative explanation of different types of regionalism and the national variations in ...
Applications of demand analysis for the dairy industry using household scanner data
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This study illustrates the use of ACNielsen Homescan Panel (HSD) in three
separate demand analyses of dairy products: (1) the effect of using cross-sectional data
in a New Empirical Industrial Organization (NEIO) study ...
