Study of stability of ZnO nanoparticles and growth mechanisms of colloidal ZnO nanorods
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
After hydrolyzing zinc acetate in methanol solution, spherical ZnO nanoparticles in the
size range from about 2.5 to 5 nm were synthesized by maintaining a ZnO concentration
of 0.02M. Compared to ZnO nanoparticles prepared ...
Dietary fish oil and butyrate increase apoptosis and decrease aberrant crypt foci in colon cancer by enhancing histone acetylation and p21waf1/cip1 expression
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
We have previously shown that dietary fish oil and fiber, particularly the highly-fermentable pectin, are protective against colon cancer in a rat model of carcinogenesis. Therefore, based upon the current body of literature ...
Phenomenal well-being
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Hedonism is not terribly popular as a theory of well-being. And there are good
reasons to question whether hedonism even supplies the best account of happiness. Yet
hedonism captures something important, and it will be ...
Potential single-occupancy vehicle demand for the Katy Freeway and Northwest Freeway high-occupancy vehicle lanes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Since the 1960âÂÂs, high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes have been successfully used as a
travel demand management technique. In recent years, there has been a growing interest
in the use of high-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes ...
Descartes and the creation of the eternal truths
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Descartes' philosophy concerning the relationship between God and the eternal
truths has been an unresolved and problematic issue since he first declared it. For
Descartes, God's power is limitless and nothing can exist ...
Top hole drilling with dual gradient technology to control shallow hazards
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Currently the "Pump and Dump" method employed by Exploration and
Production (E&P) companies in deepwater is simply not enough to control increasingly
dangerous and unpredictable shallow hazards. "Pump and Dump" requires a ...
Use of near-isogenic wheat lines to determine glutenin and gliadin composition and funtionality in flour tortillas
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The synthesis of high molecular weight (HMW) glutenin, low molecular weight glutenin and gliadin proteins are controlled by nine major loci present in wheat chromosomes. The loci Glu A1, Glu B1, Glu D1 and Gli A1, Gli B1, ...
Design and safety analysis of an in-flight, test airfoil
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The evaluation of an in-flight airfoil model requires extensive analysis of a variety of
structural systems. Determining the safety of the design is a unique task dependant on
the aircraft, flight environment, and physical ...
Glucose oxidation in heart-type fatty acid binding protein null mice
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) is a major fatty acid binding
factor in skeletal muscles. Genetic lack of H-FABP severely impairs the esterification
and oxidation of exogenous fatty acids in soleus muscles ...
Influence of acetogenic versus propiogenic supplements on adipose tissue accretion in stocker steers grazing ryegrass pasture
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Fifty-eight high grade Bonsmara steers were used to evaluate effects of high-fiber versus high-starch pasture supplements on subcutaneous (s.c.) and intramuscular (i.m.) adipose tissue accretion during growing and finishing ...
