Identification of drought responsive genes in aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda.L)
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
Drought is a major constraint for attaining economic yield in tree crops. As an initial step to understand molecular response to water-deficit-stress in trees, gene expression in response to water stress was quantified ...
Cobalt and Chromium Salen Complexes Catalyzed Copolymerization of CO2 and Epoxides: The Scope of Epoxides
(2015-10-05)
The copolymerization of epoxide and carbon dioxide catalyzed by metal complexes provides an efficient method for synthesizing polycarbonates. Compared to industrial polycarbonate production, which involves toxic phosgene ...
Psychological contracts: a network of relationships
(2009-05-15)
The focus of this dissertation is to gain a greater understanding of the individual psychological contract. It is proposed that by examining other specific exchange relationships (e.g., individual-supervisor, individual-co-worker) ...
Kiss1 Gene Expression and the Effects of Kisspeptin During Pubertal Development in the Ewe Lamb
(2012-02-14)
Increased pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for pubertal initiation of ovarian cycles in female mammals. Kisspeptin, a peptide product of the Kiss1 gene, ...
Robust and Scalable Sampling Algorithms for Network Measurement
(2010-10-12)
Recent growth of the Internet in both scale and complexity has imposed a number of difficult challenges on existing measurement techniques and approaches, which
are essential for both network management and many ongoing ...
On the Use of Interfacial Fracture Mechanics Approaches for Evaluation of the End Movement in Concrete Slabs
(2017-01-13)
This dissertation aims to study effects of different design factors on the end movements in Continuously Reinforced Concrete (CRC) pavements subjected to environmental loads. End movement in CRC pavements is an important ...
Quantification of Salt Marsh Carbon Stocks: Integration of Remote Sensing Data and Techniques with Field Measurements
(2013-12-02)
Recent climatic change projections have increased scientific and public attention on the issues relating to carbon cycling patterns, its controls, and the importance of ecosystems in the cycling and sequestration process. ...
Stochastic modeling of the variation of velocity and permeability as a function of effective pressure using the Bed-of-Nails asperity-deformation model
(2009-05-15)
The mechanical and transport properties of porous and cracked media, such as
velocity and permeability, are sensitive to the effects of effective pressure, which itself is
a function of the confining pressure and the ...
Measurement of flammability in a closed cylindrical vessel with thermal criteria
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)
Accurate flammability limit information is necessary for safe handling of gas and
liquid mixtures, and safe operation of processes using such mixtures. The flammability
limit is the maximum or minimum fuel concentration ...
Romantic Science: Science and Romance as Literary Modes in Sir Kenelm Digby's Loose Fantasies and Two Treatises
(2010-07-14)
This thesis argues that 17th century polymath Sir Kenelm Digby treats his
scientific discourses as psychological romances in his works Loose Fantasies and Two
Treatises, with his use of courtly romantic tropes, and that ...
