Binational collaboration in recovery of endangered species: the Mexican wolf as a case study
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The goal of this inductive study was to identify factors that facilitate and inhibit binational collaboration in the recovery of endangered species in the northern Mexico borderlands, focusing on the Mexican wolf (Canis ...
International monetary relations between the United States, France, and West Germany in the 1970s
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The United States acted unilaterally to terminate the Bretton Woods monetary system in August 1971, and international exchange rate management went from a regime of fixed to floating parities, much to the displeasure of ...
Biophysical characterization of protein folding and misfolding.
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The HPr proteins were characterized as folding by a two-state folding mechanism. Here, we present a comparison of the equilibrium and kinetic folding for the HPr protein from Bacillus subtilis, E coli and a key variant ...
Capital mobility and sudden stops: consequences and policy options
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
This dissertation attempts in three essays to contribute to the growing body of research on the problems associated with sudden stops of capital inflows, known to have been at the heart of many recent emerging market crises. ...
Characterization of design parameters for fiber reinforced polymer composite reinforced concrete systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures results in significant repair and rehabilitation costs. In the past several years, new fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcing bars have been introduced as an ...
The study of middle school teachers' understanding and use of mathematical representation in relation to teachers' zone of proximal development in teaching fractions and algebraic functions
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This study examined teachers' learning and understanding of mathematical representation through the Middle School Mathematics Project (MSMP) professional development, investigated teachers' use of mathematics representations ...
Experimental and simulation studies of sequestration of supercritical carbon dioxide in depleted gas reservoirs
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
he feasibility of sequestering supercritical CO2 in depleted gas reservoirs. The experimental runs involved the following steps. First, the 1 ft long by 1 in. diameter carbonate core is inserted into a viton Hassler sleeve ...
Study on effects of resident-perceived neighborhood boundaries on public services accessibility & its relation to utilization: using Geographic Information System, focusing on the case of public parks in Austin, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
One of the most important issues in the study of Urban-Service Distribution is the choice of the unit of analysis. Because of the ready availability of various data at the level of residence units, census tracts have been ...
The characterization, functional expression, and localization of the first arthropod myokinin receptor from the southern cattle tick, Boophilus microplus (Acari: ixodidae)
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Myokinins are invertebrate neuropeptides with myotropic and diuretic activity. The lymnokinin receptor from the snail Lymnaea stagnalis was the only previously identified myokinin receptor. A cDNA encoding a neuropeptide ...
The d-bar-Neumann operator and the Kobayashi metric
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
We study the ∂-Neumann
operator and the Kobayashi metric. We observe that under certain
conditions, a higher-dimensional domain fibered over Ω can
inherit noncompactness of the d-bar-Neumann
operator from the base ...
