A 64-channel personal computer based image reconstruction system and applications in single echo acquisition magnetic resonance elastography and ultra-fast magnetic resonance imaging.
(2009-05-15)
Emerging technologies in parallel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with massive
receiver arrays have paved the way for ultra-fast imaging at increasingly high frame rates.
With the increase in the number of receiver channels ...
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 ...
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
three other cities in a moderate ...
Passive and active circuits in cmos technology for rf, microwave and millimeter wave applications
(2009-05-15)
The permeation of CMOS technology to radio frequencies and beyond has
fuelled an urgent need for a diverse array of passive and active circuits that address the
challenges of rapidly emerging wireless applications. While ...
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 ...
Genetic analysis of mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis reveals sequence and epigenetic variation among field isolates
(2009-05-15)
Previous research performed in 1999 by Harris et al. has shown that
many varieties of ruminants serve as the host species for Mycobacterium avium
subspecies paratuberculosis (MparaTb) infections. Gene sequencing has
supported ...
Roles for extra-hypothalamic oscillators in the avian clock
(2009-05-15)
Avian circadian clocks are composed of a distributed network of neural and
peripheral oscillators. Three neural pacemakers, located in the pineal, the eyes, and the
hypothalamus, control circadian rhythms of many biological ...
Genomic and metagenomic approaches to natural product chemistry
(2009-05-15)
For many years, natural products have been a primary source of new molecules for the
treatment of disease, and microorganisms have been a prolific source of these molecules. Recent
studies have indicated, however, that ...
Mexican american teachers tell their stories of success in the midst of a colonia
(2009-05-15)
The purpose of the study was to investigate how teachers at an elementary
campus located in the midst of a Colonia perceived their achieved academic recognition
when more rigorous federal and state standards seem to challenge ...
