Shape conceptualization in design
(1992)
The intention of this research is to provide a conceptual basis for the design and construction of a geometric modeling system that dovetails with the way designer plan and visualize objects. This dissertation focuses on ...
Antagonism of organophosphorus intoxications with resealed erythrocytes containing organophosphorus acid anhydrase
(1994)
This investigation effort is focused on the new conceptual approach to antagonize organophosphorus (OP) intoxication. This was accomplished by the use of resealed carrier erythrocytes (CRBC) containing a recombinant enzyme ...
The effect of TCDD and related compounds on 17B-estradiol-induced secretion of procathepsin D (52-kDa) protein in MCF-7 human breast cancer cells : mechanistic studies
(1994)
TCDD is a broad spectrum antiestrogen and mediates its antiestrogenic effects through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). 176-estradiol (E2) induces the secretion of procathepsin D, a 52-kDa protein in MCF-7 human breast ...
Foot preference behavior : a developmental perspective
(1993)
Delineating the genesis of foot preference behaviors from early childhood to young adulthood was the primary focus of this study. Foot (and hand) preference behaviors were assessed in a sample of 956 subjects who represented ...
A mouse mammary tumor virus promoter element is composed of sequences near the transcription initiation site
(1991)
Transcription from the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter is regulated through the complex interaction of regulatory and promoter elements. Analysis of the promoter using a transient transfection assay has identified ...
Heterosis, combining ability, and breeding potential studies for grain yield and yield components in guinea sorghums [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
(1992)
Relatively low yields of guinea sorghums have been a major obstacle for sustained progress in yield improvement of the race in West Africa. In an attempt to determine why West African sorghums display low yield potential, ...
Characterization of genes and gene products encoded by the F plasmid transfer region : trbI, traW, traU, trbC, traN, and trbE
(1990)
Genes and gene products encoded by the central part of the F transfer region (between traC and traF) were investigated. The nucleotide sequence of the entire region was determined and all gene products were identified and ...
In-situ steam generation using electrical resistance heating
(1992)
This work presents a new application of Electrical Resistance Heating (ERH), in-situ steam generation (ISSG). ISSG uses ERH to generate steam in-situ for steam flooding. The heat generated by ERH comes from the flow of low ...
Use of human anonymous DNA-segments in bovine gene mapping
(1993)
The use of human anonymous DNA-segments (D-segments) as probes revolutionized mapping of the human genome. This study investigated the usefulness of twenty-two D-segments as heterologous probes in bovine somatic cell mapping ...
Performance function modeling for statistical design of integrated circuits
(1993)
The primary objective of this dissertation is to develop new performance function modeling strategies to be used for statistical design of integrated circuits. The major bottle-neck during statistical circuit design is ...
