(2013-12-18)
The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify and describe the communication process between and among sectors, and their corresponding members, in the Texas beef cattle industry. An inductive, qualitative approach ...
Antioxidant Effects of Phytochemicals in Texas Red Wine in Breast Cancer Cells
(2013-02-26)
The anti-cancer effects of wine have been greatly studied, mainly on Vitis Vinifera grapes. There is a lack of information about the effects of Texas wines in particular, and it was the goal of this study to investigate ...
Genetic Dissecting Innate Immune Signaling Networks in Arabidopsis
(2013-09-25)
The plant innate immune system is built on a great number of processes, many of which are uncharacterized, or incompletely identified. Infection of Arabidopsis thaliana with bac- terium Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato ...
Application of Rosenbrock Methods to Tightly Coupled Multiphysics Simulations in Nuclear Science and Engineering
(2011-04-27)
Recently, researchers have investigated the implementation of accurate high order time discretization techniques in large-scale nonlinear multiphysics simulations using Implicit Runge-Kutta (IRK) methods. For a given time ...
