The Tsr chemoreceptor/CheW/CheA ternary complex as an allosteric enzyme
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The transmembrane serine receptor Tsr associates with a coupling protein, CheW,
and a histidine kinase, CheA, to form a ternary complex that regulates the activity of
CheA. CheA activity is inhibited by binding of L-serine ...
Male-female interaction among different geographic strains of the Gulf Coast tick Amblyomma maculatum Koch
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The overall goal of this research was to examine the interactions of adult
Amblyomma maculatum Koch, the Gulf Coast tick, with respect to their utilization of
hosts and to male-female cross strain interaction. Historical ...
Characterization of allantoinase from Eschericia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The purpose of this research was to characterize the Escherichia coli, E. coli,
allantoinase enzyme. Allantoinase catalyses the conversion allantoin to allantoate via
the hydrolysis of a cyclic amide bond and is coded for ...
Observations, dynamics and predictability of the mesoscale convective vortex event of 10-13 June 2003
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
This study examines the dynamics and predictability of the mesoscale convective vortex (MCV) event of 10-13 June 2003 which occurred during the Bow Echo and Mesoscale Convective Vortex Experiment (BAMEX). The MCV formed ...
The physical and emotional benefits of companion animals
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
Elderly people are at high risk for conditions associated with inactivity, and lack
of motivation is an important factor contributing to this inactivity. It is believed that a dog
can provide the necessary motivation to ...
Carrier envelope phase stabilization of a femtosecond laser and iodine spectroscopy
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)
The carrier envelope (CE) phase of a femtosecond laser was stabilized. The laser
produces an ultra stable comb of frequency spanning the visible region and basically is
an optical frequency synthesizer and ready for the ...
Optimal dimensionless design and analysis of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A jet ejector may be used as a compressor or to enhance thrust of watercraft or aircraft. Optimization of jet ejectors as compressors and thrust augmenters was conducted using the software GAMBIT (Computer Aided Engineering ...
Risk assessment of surface vs subsea blowout preventers (bops) on mobile offshore drilling units focusing on riser failure and the use of subsea shear rams
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
The use of a slim, high-pressure drilling riser for surface blowout preventer operations in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico was assessed as an alternative to conventional drilling procedures from floating units. Comparison ...
Nonlinearity and noise modeling of operational transconductance amplifiers for continuous time analog filters
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
A general framework for performance optimization of continuous-time OTA-C
(Operational Transconductance Amplifier-Capacitor) filters is proposed. Efficient
procedures for evaluating nonlinear distortion and noise valid for ...
Design of a 3.1-4.8 GHZ RF front-end for an ultra wideband receiver
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)
IEEE 802.15 High Rate Alternative PHY task group (TG3a) is working to define
a protocol for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPANs) which makes it possible to
attain data rates of greater than 110Mbps. Ultra Wideband (UWB) ...
