Reductive dechlorination of chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons by Fe(ii) in degradative solidification/stabilization
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
This dissertation examines the applicability of the iron-based degradative solidification/stabilization (DS/S-Fe(II)) to various chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons (CAHs) that are common chemicals of concern at contaminated ...
Describing the readiness for retention of students of color at state and land-grant colleges of agriculture
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Current demographics indicate that populations of color are on the rise across the United States. Although enrollments of students of color are increasing, first year retention rates are lower compared to their peers. ...
Molecular cloning and characterization of important stress and redox regulatory genes from Hydra vulgaris
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
In this research, important stress and redox regulatory genes present in
Hydra vulgaris were isolated and characterized to facilitate our understanding of
the evolution and mechanisms of stress response. H. vulgaris heat ...
Study of microfluidic measurement techniques using novel optical imaging diagnostics
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Novel microscale velocity and temperature measurement techniques were studied based on confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and optical serial sectioning microscopy (OSSM). Two microscopic measurement systems were ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging and analysis for determination of porous media properties
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Advanced nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging methodologies have
been developed to determine porous media properties associated with fluid flow processes.
This dissertation presents the development of NMR experimental ...
Extensive investigation of reticuloendotheliosis virus in the endangered Attwater's prairie chicken
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Reticuloendotheliosis virus (REV) is a retrovirus that causes a neoplastic disease in a wide range of avian hosts including chickens, turkeys, and ducks. In 1993, REV was detected in the endangered Attwater's prairie ...
Developement of monoclonal antibodies for a multiple antigen ELISA to verify safe cooking end-point temperature in beef and pork
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Four proteins exhibiting different rates of denaturation or precipitation with
increasing cooking temperature from 63 to 73ðC for beef and 67 to 79ðC for pork were
selected for developing a ratio model and incorporating ...
Comparative breeding ecology of Lesser Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis canadensis) and Siberian cranes (G. leucogeranus) in Eastern Siberia
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Populations of Lesser Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis canadensis) have been
increasing during the last decades in Eastern Siberia, an area historically known as
breeding grounds of endangered Siberian Cranes (G. leucogeranus). ...
Using the Developmental Indicators for the Assessment of Learning - third edition as a screener for young children: a comparison of the psychometric properties between the English and Spanish-speaking standardization samples
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Demographic data show that public schools are faced with meeting the academic
demands of a population that is becoming more ethnically and linguistically diverse.
Preventative steps can give schools the opportunity to ...
Homological algebra and problems in combinatorics and geometry
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation uses methods from homological algebra and computational commutative
algebra to study four problems. We use Hilbert function computations and
classical homology theory and combinatorics to answer questions ...
