N2s2 chelating agents as cys-x-cys biomimics for fe(no) and fe(no)2 complexes
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Nitric oxide plays an important role in many biological functions. A metallo derivative in biological systems is a protein-bound dinitrosyl iron complex (DNIC), which results from iron-sulfur cluster degradation in the ...
Phase selectively soluble polymers for homogeneously supported catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Soluble polymer supports that could be used in thermomorphic and latent
biphasic systems have been prepared and analyzed for their potential application as
supports for facilitated synthesis and catalysis. Phase selective ...
Statistical testing and estimation in continuous time interest rate models
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The shape of drift function in continuous time interest rate models has been
investigated by many authors during the past decade. The main concerns have been
whether the drift function is linear or nonlinear, but no ...
Thermal runaway reaction hazard and decomposition mechanism of the hydroxylamine system
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Chemical reactivity hazards have posed a significant challenge for industries that
manufacture, store, and handle reactive chemicals. Without proper management and
control of reactivity, numerous incidents have caused ...
Studies on taxadiene synthase
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Taxadiene synthase catalyzes the formation of taxadiene from GGPP, the universal building block of diterpenes. The cyclization of GGPP to taxadiene is generally thought to proceed through a series of monocyclic and bicyclic ...
Direct measurements of ensemble particle and surface interactions on homogeneous and patterned substrates
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
In this dissertation, we describe a novel method that we call Diffusing Colloidal
Probe Microscopy (DCPM), which integrates Total Internal Reflection Microscopy
(TIRM) and Video Microscopy (VM) methods to monitor three ...
Accounting scandals and stigma by association via director interlocks
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
This dissertation examines the phenomenon of stigma by association between firms in the context of corporate accounting scandals. I draw from the social psychology literature to develop a theoretical framework that supports ...
On the periphery of the periphery: household archaeology at Hacienda Tabi, Yucatan, Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The archaeological remains at Hacienda Tabi provide an opportunity to study the
effects of large-scale societal changes on the lives of the Maya who worked on the
hacienda. The households, represented by the ruins of the ...
Problems of fluid flow in a deformable reservoir
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)
This research is focused on development and enhancement of the model of fluid flow
in a formation with stress-dependent permeability. Several typical axi-symmetrical problems
of fluid flow in a multi-layered reservoir with ...
Structural studies of the SARS virus Nsp15 endonuclease and the human innate immunity receptor TLR3
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
Three-dimensional (3D) structural determination of biological macromolecules is not only critical to understanding their mechanisms, but also has practical applications. Combining the high resolution imaging of transmission ...
