Beyond scientific research: tracing the contributions Ernest Rutherford made to the next generation of scientists
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Before his death in 1937, Ernest Rutherford discovered the rate of radioactive decay of
atoms. In 1911 he proposed the nuclear structure of the atom, and in 1919 he
successfully split the nucleus of an atom. Rutherford ...
Electrochemical deposition of green rust on zero-valent iron
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Perchloroethylene (PCE) is a toxic contaminant that has been introduced into the environment over many years through industrial and agricultural wastes. Research has been done in the past to investigate PCE degradation by ...
Population genetics of the pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), inferred from mitochondrial nucleotide data
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The pecan weevil, Curculio caryae Horn, is an obligate nut feeder of all North American hickory
(Carya) and a key pest of the pecan, C. illinoinensis Koch. This study investigated population
structure of the pecan weevil. ...
Western Empire: the deep water wreck of a mid-nineteenth century wooden sailing ship
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This study of Western Empire is split into two distinct parts: (1) historical research of the
life of the vessel, relying on primary documents; and (2) analysis of the deep water
survey data. The first part concentrates ...
Evaluation of the effects of a highway improvement project on Key deer
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) along a 5.6-km segment of United States Highway 1 (US 1) on Big Pine Key (BPK), Florida responsible for approximately 26% of endangered Florida Key deer (Odocoileus virginianus clavium) annual ...
The time course of discourse priming in the interpretation of conceptual combinations
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
People often create novel lexical expressions to efficiently communicate their
thoughts to others. Noun-noun phrases, also known as conceptual
combinations, serve as an example of these novel expressions. Most of the
research ...
The effects of inlet velocity and barrel diameter on cyclone performance
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Cyclone separators are widely used in agricultural processing industries as air
pollution abatement devices. The performance of cyclones is a function of the geometry
of the cyclone, operating parameters, and the particle ...
Deep-tow study of magnetic anomalies in the Pacific Jurassic Quiet Zone
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The Jurassic Quiet Zone (JQZ) is a region of low amplitude, difficult-to-correlate magnetic anomalies located over Jurassic oceanic crust. We collected 1200 km of new deep-tow magnetic anomaly profiles over the Pacific JQZ ...
Improving liquid chemical intervention methods to control pathogens on fresh-cut fruits and vegetables
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Factors that affect liquid chemical intervention methods of controlling pathogens
on fresh-cut produce were investigated. The relationship between produce tissue
structure (intercellular space, cell size, and cell distribution) ...
Cholesterol lowering effects of bovine serum immunoglobulin in human participants with mild hypercholesterolemia
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Interestingly, the consumption of dairy products, namely milk, has been shown to lower
cholesterol. The mechanism of action surrounding this ...
