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 ...
Inheritance of cotton fiber length and distribution
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fiber quality data from five upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes,
which were grown at College Station, TX during 2001 and 2002, were subjected to
diallel and generation means analyses to determine the potential ...
Modeling household adoption of earthquake hazard adjustments: a longitudinal panel study of Southern California and Western Washington residents
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This research, aimed at advancing the theory of environmental hazard adjustment processes
by contrasting households from three cities in a high seismic hazard area with households from

Adaptive finite element methods for fluorescence enhanced optical tomography
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Fluorescence enhanced optical tomography is a promising molecular imaging
modality which employs a near infrared fluorescent molecule as an imaging agent
and time-dependent measurements of fluorescent light propagation and ...
Patterns and predictors of mental health service use and serious mental illness among community-dwelling elderly
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Older adults have historically utilized mental health services at substantially low
rates. Unfortunately, though professional, policy, and other recent developments
portend an increase in service use, there has been scant ...

Menstrual cycle effects on pain modulation and autonomic arousal
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Animal research has elucidated the neurobiological substrates and environmental
determinants of pain modulation. Despite these advances, relatively little is known
about how psychological processes activate pain modulatory ...
A simulation model of Rio Grande wild turkey dynamics in the Edwards Plateau of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
I investigated the effect of precipitation and predator abundance on Rio Grande wild
turkey (Meleagris gallopavo; RGWT) in Texas. My results suggested that RGWT
production was strongly correlated with cumulative winter ...
Examining solid waste management issues in the City of Bryan
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
