Chasing the illusive American dream: an historical analysis of Mexican-American education, employment, and culture
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The objectives of this study include the identification of the effects of history on contemporary Mexican immigration in the areas of education, employment and culture. Beginning with a detailed historical background of ...
A visualization tool to study the motion of complex 3D objects in space
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Visualization is the process of mapping numerical values onto perceptual dimensions. Visualization is a way to show results in a manner that is intuitive to humans. Pictures and animations presented properly can be easier ...
A study of chaos in a rotor system supported by ball bearings
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Chaos is a new term coined to describe the ordered randomness that appears in many deterministic nonlinear dynamic systems. Although chaos has some desirable features, it is usually advantageous to control and eliminate ...
The feasibility of Quadrupole Dip Imaging with PMRI: focus on multiple sclerosis
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Magnetic Resonance (MR) techniques provide valuable information for the diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, and study of many diseases. However, limitations on the sensitivity and specificity warrant the development of new ...
The expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase during postnatal development in the leaner and tottering mouse cerebella
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Tottering and leaner mice carry different mutations in the portion of their genetic information (tottering locus) that encodes for the α₁[A] subunit of P/Q-type voltage-gated calcium ion channels. These channels, located ...
The identification of recurrent tertiary motifs by interactions of protein secondary structure units
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Proteins are the molecular machines that drive the processes of the cell; they carry out the functional and structural instructions outlined in an organism's genome. At their simplest, these biological catalysts are comprised ...
The effects of thermal processing on properties of fundamental food polymers in commercial Asian and experimental sorghum noodles
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Processing variables of 100% sorghum noodles were evaluated. A dough was made, extruded to create noodles then dried. Structural, physical, and cooking characteristics of the experimental sorghum noodles, as well as thin ...
The effects of self-deception and family environment on the internalization of societal standards of thinness
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The influential role of sociocultural variables on women's body dissatisfaction and disturbed eating behavior has been well documented. In particular, exposure to thinness norms has been argued to play a primary role in ...
The effects of defendant and juror similarity on sentencing for university undergraduate research fellows
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
In every criminal case, the selection of jurors is a crucial factor in determining the outcome of the trial. The prosecution and the defense each attempt to construct a jury that will be sympathetic to their arguments. ...
Controlled deformation of critical truss members using magnetorheological dampers with reversed power requirements
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
A magnetorheological (MR) damper exhibits a variable damping coefficient depending on the strength of an accompanying magnetic field. A high magnetic field creates a nearly unyielding damper filled with a semi-solid fluid ...
