-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Nuclear transfer is fast becoming an alternative method for reproduction, and it is useful in producing genetically identical animals. This study was designed to develop and characterize a cell line which may be possible ...
-
(1977)Initial attempts to find mutant strains incapable of transporting guanine into the cells yielded no mutants. Further studies on the transport of guanine into N. crassa cells revealed a second guanine uptake system which ...
-
(1996)The liquid piston Stirling engine is an environmentally conscious technology developed to replace the electric heat pump and the gas furnace. Dr. Holtzapple's innovative modifications to existing Stirling engine technology ...
-
(1983)A new in vitro test for susceptibility to induced chromosomal damage is described. It involves treating primary fibroblast cultures with a known clastogen, bleomycin. The test differs from those previously published in ...
-
A common phenolic metabolite of pyrene, 1-hydroxypyrene (1-OHP), is often used as a biomarker to assess polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure. The developed high-performance liquid chromatography with mass ...
-
(2013-02-01)This project investigates several methods of electrochemical insertion of hydrogen into Zircaloy nuclear fuel cladding. These systems are being assembled at Texas A & M to form zirconium hydride in cladding to model crack ...
-
(2015-09-25)A need exists for the development of a continuous glucose monitoring system to improve the management and treatment of diabetes mellitus. Click hydrogels are a promising platform for an implantable, continuous glucose ...
-
(1982)This report deals with friction and minor losses in polyethylene (PE) pipe associated with trickle irrigation lateral design. Validity of the roughness coefficient in the Hazen-Williams equation for friction loss was ...
-
(1998)A honeycomb probe was designed to measure the optical properties of biological tissues using single Monte Carlo method. The ongoing project is intended to be a multi-wavelength, real time, and in-vivo technique to detect ...
-
(1981)A model of the coronary circulation which includes the effect of ventricular contraction is developed. A fluid/electrical analog is used. The analog incorporates the effects of ventricular contraction with a voltage source. ...
-
(2011-08-08)The objective of this research was to mitigate fluctuations of a levitated ping pong ball within a vertical wind tunnel (VWT) prototype. This was made possible by remodeling the VWT system with its inherent nonlinear ...
-
(2016-02-09)Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) gels are step-growth hydrogel networks that can be formed using thiol-ene polymerization. Four-arm PEG monomers can be functionalized with norbornene and then crosslinked with matrix metalloproteinase ...
-
(1977)Extrusion processing has many useful applications in the food industry. The process yields low-cost texturized proteins which has great potential for growth on a world market. Most of the research in the area of texturization ...
-
Contactless magnetic gearboxes have been identified by NASA and others to be a potential key enabling technology necessary to realize future fully electric aircraft and spacecraft. These gears are significantly more efficient ...
-
(2010-07-14)Building Information Modeling (BIM) Technology has been around for several years and has proven to be very helpful in aiding engineers, architects, and contractors with their projects. BIM is a set of computer programs ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Researchers have studied the folding and binding properties of peptides in water for many years, but only recently has anyone attempted to explore those same tendencies in an environment similar to that of a transmembrane ...
-
(2013-02-04)Primary glomerular diseases are the most common cause of progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD) in dogs, a common and significant source of illness that often progresses to kidney failure. It is hypothesized that podocyte ...
-
(1978)The major problems with percutaneous electrical conduits are biocompatibility and infection. A system has been designed to avoid such problems and has been tested both in vitro and in vivo. The project, carried out under ...
-
(1991)This thesis reports the results of research to develop, using the Eiffel object-oriented programming language, aircraft flight instruments display software to graphically display output from a passenger jet transport ...
-
(2014-01-17)Diesel exhaust particulate matter (DPM) is a major contributor to air pollution and has been recently classified as a group 1 human carcinogen. The combustion of diesel produces a variety of compounds including polycyclic ...
