Risk assessment of complex mixtures: development of toxic equivalency factors (TEFs) for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Risk assessment is a very valuable tool with which to frame complex environmental problems. Although risk assessment is a very valuable tool it does have significant limitations. There are many aspects of the process ...
Thermoregulation in Steller Sea Lions: a modelling approach
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Steller sea lion, largest of the otariids, is currently listed as endangered, in parts of its range, due to a substantial population decline over the past three decades. The most prominent hypothesis for this decrease ...
Structural and functional investigation of human chemokines and applications of human chemokines in blocking HIV-1 entry
(2009-05-15)
Chemokines are important mediators of leukocyte migration. Chemokines bind
to G protein–coupled receptors (GPCR) and cause conformational changes that trigger
intracellular signaling pathways involved in inflammation, ...

Almost four hundred years after the wrecking of the Portuguese East-Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Martires in 1606, excavations were begun at Sao Juliao de Barra by the Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Nautica e Subaquatica ...
Combined effects of Reynolds number, turbulence intensity and periodic unsteady wake flow conditions on boundary layer development and heat transfer of a low pressure turbine blade
(2009-05-15)
Detailed experimental investigation has been conducted to provide a detailed insight
into the heat transfer and aerodynamic behavior of a separation zone that is generated as a
result of boundary layer development along ...
Estimating forest structural characteristics with airborne lidar scanning and a near-real time profiling laser systems
(2009-05-15)
LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) directly measures canopy vertical
structures, and provides an effective remote sensing solution to accurate and spatiallyexplicit
mapping of forest characteristics, such as canopy height ...
Constructive hierarchy through entitlement: inequality in lithic resource access among the ancient Maya of Blue Creek, Belize
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)
This dissertation tests the theory that lithic raw materials were a strategic resource among the ancient Maya of Blue Creek, Belize that markedly influenced the development of socio-economic hierarchies at the site. Recent ...
Intelligent executive guidance agent for general aviation aircraft under free flight
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Conflict detection and resolution is a critical capability for the realization of free flight, a new concept of air traffic management that allows pilots to select their own flight paths and airspeeds in real time. A ...
Ecological correlates of Harris' hawk grouping in southern Texas
(2002)
I surveyed Harris' hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) grouping relative to rainfall and landscape patterns at eight southern Texas study sites during the fall non-breeding season. Objectives were to: I) determine relationships ...
