An intuitive approach to quantum circuit simulation
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The study of quantum logic and quantum algorithms is still in its infancy. Quantum algorithms can potentially solve many problems much more efficiently than their classical counterparts, and research in the field is ...
Deconstructing race: the Civil Rights movement as an encounter with the Other
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
This paper examines perspectives of four different leaders during the American Civil Rights era and discusses how the men employing each perspective defined and encountered the Other. One can define "the Other" as any ...
Modeling foreign economic policy in strategic setting: the automotive industry of the U.S. and Japan
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The purpose of my study is to examine how the United States and Japan interact in a strategic setting on foreign economic issues. Since relations between the two countries have been developing for several decades now, I ...
Molecularly engineering homogenous catalysts
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
A critical issue in the design of new 'Green' recoverable reusable catalyst is the separation strategies used for catalyst recovery. Using materials and solvents that are miscible at elevated temperature but phase separate ...
A comparative analysis of operational codes for King Hussein I and King Abdullah II
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
After King Abdullah II inherited the throne from King Hussein I at a very critical transition point in 1999, it became necessary for a study to rigorously examine the fundamental characteristics of each leaders' outlooks ...
Developing a temperature-sensitive plasmid to create Brucella knockout mutants
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Gene knockouts in an organism give valuable information about that gene's function. The current method for producing Brucella knockout mutants - sacB insertion followed by sucrose counterselection - is inefficient. A novel ...
Surface Roughness and Size Measurements of Microscopic Particles by Reflection Interference Contrast Microscopy
(2013-02-13)
Accurate information about particle roughness and the deformation that occurs when a particle is in contact with a surface is needed to provide improved models of particle resuspension and adhesion. The capabilities of ...
An Ultrastructural Model to Test Microburst Stimulation of Nerves
(2013-02-04)
Some patients that suffer from epilepsy may become refractory to pharmaceutical treatment. An option with these patients is vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) therapy with neuro-cybernetic medical devices. The purpose of this ...
Morphology of Purkinje Cells in Cerebella of Epileptic Mice
(2013-02-04)
Calcium ion (Ca2+) homeostasis is a critical component normal neuronal development. Abnormal Ca2+ concentrations can disrupt neuron development and nervous system function and lead to various neurological disorders, such ...
Effect of Iron on the Defensive Mutualism of Drosophila Flies and Spiroplasma Bacteria
(2013-02-04)
Maternally-transmitted associations between endosymbiotic bacteria and insects are pervasive in nature, and vary from commensalism to mutualism to parasitism. The association between the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster ...
