An innovative approach to predicting meat tenderness using biomechanical properties of meat
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Biomechanical compression studies at different temperatures were conducted to
correlate the biomechanical response of raw bovine Longissimus dorsi muscles varying
in USDA Quality Grade with overall sensory tenderness scores. ...
Assessing the economic revitalization impact of urban design improvements: the Texas Main Street Program
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The relationship between urban design and economic activity is seldom studied through
empirical studies with a large number of cases due, in part, to the implicit and intangible
nature of design. This study was intended ...
When things go wrong at work: expressions of organizational dissent as interpersonal influence
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
This dissertation examines the types of messages used for organizational dissent,
and argues for connections between dissent messages, choice of audience and influence
goals. The organizational dissent literature has ...
Impact of retailer's promotional activities on customer traffic
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The usual theoretical assumption that the retailer's promotional activities serve the
purpose of attracting customers into stores lacks empirical verification. The relationship
between promotional activity and customer ...
Energy landscape and electric field mediated interfacial colloidal assembly
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Chemically and physically patterned surfaces can be used as templates to guide
nano- and micro- scale particle assembly, but the design is often limited by an inability
to sufficiently characterize how pattern features ...
Spatial application of a cotton growth model for analysis of site-specific irrigation in the Texas High Plains
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Limited water supplies for agriculture in the Texas High Plains will require new
irrigation technologies and techniques for agriculture to continue in this area. The
potential for using one such technology, site-specific ...
N/z equilibration in deep inelastic collisions and the fragmentation of the resulting quasiprojectiles
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
When target and projectile nuclei have a difference in neutron to proton ratio (N/Z),
the quasiprojectiles formed in a deep inelastic collision (DIC) should have a mean
N/Z between the N/Z of the target and the N/Z of the ...
Coding and learning of chemosensor array patterns in a neurodynamic model of the olfactory system
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Arrays of broadly-selective chemical sensors, also known as electronic noses, have been developed during the past two decades as a low-cost and high-throughput alternative to analytical instruments for the measurement of ...
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography in soft biological tissues
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
Optical imaging of soft biological tissues is highly desirable since it is nonionizing
and provides sensitive contrast information which enables detection of physiological
functions and abnormalities, including potentially ...
Effects of instruction in creative problem solving on cognition, creativity, and satisfaction among ninth grade students in an introduction to world agricultural science and technology course
(Texas A&M University, 2007-09-17)
The use of Creative Problem Solving (CPS) as an instructional strategy to increase the creativity levels of students across all levels of the curriculum is currently a popular topic of investigation. Curriculum content and ...
