(1978)The functional significance of mandibular papillae in feeding Roseate Spoonbills was studied. Feeding behavior of this species was investigated through observation both in the wild and under captive conditions. Spoonbills ...
-
(2013-02-04)MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNAs that act as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in eukaryotic genomes and are thought to be critically involved in many biological processes. While the functions ...
-
(2014-08-14)We study the effects of thermal non-equilibrium (TNE) in particular vibrational non-equilibrium, in decaying turbulence using direct numerical simulation (DNS). The exchange mechanism between molecular vibrational and ...
-
(2013-02-04)Understanding the hydrology of a watershed is essential for both water resource management and public safety, especially flood prevention and mitigation. Both climate change and urbanization have been shown to increase ...
-
Tooth agenesis is one of the most common developmental anomalies that affect the number of teeth due to developmental failure, which requires costly dental treatment involving numerous science and public health fields. It ...
-
(2019-04-26)The perceptions of the future, including attitudes, beliefs, and actions toward it, have been formalized into a construct known as Future Time Perspective (FTP). The purpose of this study was to determine if college students’ ...
-
(1994)The environment has become one of the most important issues facing all of the population of this planet. It is everyone’s responsibility to minimize the destructive effect they have upon the environment. It is especially ...
-
(2017-04-24)GPER is a membrane-bound estrogen receptor, distinct from ERα or ERβ, and exerts genomic and non-genomic effects. GPER’s effect on the cardiovascular system has been controversial; evidence indicates it relaxes arteries, ...
-
(2012-06-08)Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and is predominantly estrogen dependent [1]. About 1 in 8 women in the United States (12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Failure in ...
-
(1995)Receptor subunit composition can be examined at the mRNA (gene expression) level. Profiling gene expression in acutely isolated neurons from adult animals offers a potentially powerful approach to determining GABAₐ receptor ...
-
The Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) is a gas based detector used to detect charged particles in high-energy physics applications. It amplifies signals related to particle interaction within a detector and provides high gas ...
-
(1991)This thesis investigates the problem of reading women's and ethnic literature by exploring three American novels written by ethnic women: Beloved (1987), by African-American novelist Toni Morrison; Love Medicine (1984), ...
-
(2018-04-25)The rise in tension between law enforcement and the communities they serve and gender discrimination in general, brings importance to the study of statistical evidence of the presence of gender discrimination in different ...

Gender-specific modulation of cocaine-induced place preference by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)In contemporary North-American culture, two frequently combined drugs possessing abuse liability are cocaine and "ecstasy" (+/- 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine [MDMA]). Each drug is a stimulant acting on brain dopamine ...
-
(2006-07-11)During the past 20 years, there has been a significant increase in the number of individuals developing type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Evidence from several studies indicates that obesity and weight gain (increase in ...
-
(1983)Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita texana when artificially crossed produce fully fertile hybrids. Thus interspecific genetic exchange is possible. An attempt was made to monitor actual gene flow between these two taxa under ...
-
(2017-04-25)One of the major challenges for modern data scientists is providing structure to data. Textual data is especially difficult to interpret and categorize. Much of the meaning found in this natural language data, like news ...
