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 ...
Computational and Experimental Evaluation of Actuating Shape Memory Polymer Foams in the Context of Aneurysm Treatment
(2010-07-14)
Shape memory polymer foams may be used to treat vascular aneurysms through thermal actuation of the foam from a compacted to an expanded configuration within the aneurysm structure, thereby alleviating blood pressure on ...
The relationships between meaning & purpose in life, hope, and psychosocial development
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Existential psychology attempts to enhance psychological well-being through the awareness of meaning and purpose in life. Similarly, counseling theories based on Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development promote ...
On the relationship between brightness temperature and thunderstorm evolution
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
The impact of tropical precipitation on the global energy budget has long been an important topic of investigation. To more accurately assess large-scale heating, we must first understand the small scale cloud processes ...
Benign: a screenplay
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)
Benign is a story set in the microscopic world of cellular respiration and reproduction. The plot is concerned with the epiphanies and adventures of Pro, a microorganism who stumbles upon a shocking conspiracy being sustained ...
