In Vitro Culture of 'Dog Ridge' Grapevine
(2009-06-09)
Vitis champini ‘Dog Ridge’ grapevine is a potentially desirable rootstock for Texas
grapevines because of its disease resistance. This selection is reported to be difficult to
root through hardwood cuttage as is often ...
Feasibility Analysis of Steam Reforming of Biodiesel by-product Glycerol to Make Hydrogen
(2009-06-09)
Crude glycerol is the major byproduct from biodiesel industry. In general, for every 100 pounds of biodiesel produced, approximately 10 pounds of crude glycerol are produced as a by-product. As the biodiesel industry rapidly ...
The Effects of Behavioral Training on Spinal Plasticity and ERK1/2 Phosphorylation, Within the Injured Spinal Cord
(2009-06-09)
Previous research has shown that even when communication between the brain and
spinal cord has been eliminated, rats can learn a simple instrumental response. If rats
receive shock to one hindlimb when it is extended ...
IMPLICIT MEMORY IN YOUNG ADULTS WITH ADHD: DOES IT INCLUDE A CONCEPTUAL PRIMING DEFICIT?
(2009-06-09)
This experiment explored the distinction between two implicit memory test paradigms:
identification versus production processes and conceptual versus perceptual processes.
These dimensions were crossed to produce four ...
A new Pleistocene vertebrate fauna from Austin, Texas
(2011-08-04)
A new fossil vertebrate fauna consisting of fish, snake, and small mammalian remains was discovered near McKinney Falls State Park in Austin, Texas. Identification and analysis of the species in the cave deposit reveals ...
Size, Solubility, and the Serotonin-Gated Ion Channel Receptor: In Search of an Improved Extracellular Domain Model
(2009-06-09)
The 5-HT3 receptor (5-HT3R) is the only serotonin receptor that is not a G-coupled protein receptor. It has been implicated as a contributor to cytotoxic drug-evoked emesis, irritable bowel syndrome, pruritis, schizophrenia, ...
Investigating Dynamics of the STAT3 and C/EBPβ Pathways upon Stimulation by Inflammatory Cytokines
(2011-08-04)
The purpose of this project was to investigate the dynamics of the Jak-STAT3 (STAT3) and Erk-C/EBPβ (C/EBPβ) pathways upon stimulation with inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and oncostatin M (OSM), which ...
Investigations of Heat Shock Protein Expression in the Swordtail Fishes Xiphophorus birchmanni and X. malinche
(2011-08-04)
In many species, animals must endure environmental stressors such as exposure to heat,
toxins, and ultraviolet radiation. To protect cells against such stressors, animals employ an evolutionarily ancient mechanism: the ...
Reduction of Estrogenic Bioactivity in Effluent through Electron Beam Irradiation
(2014-09-19)
Clean water availability has been made scarce by droughts in Texas caused by longer and hotter summers. Therefore, adopting new water reuse strategies has become important. A concern with recycled water has been the increase ...
Outsourcing Logistics in the Oil and Gas Industry
(2012-04-30)
The supply chain challenges that the Oil and Gas industry faces in material logistics have enlarged in the last few decades owing to an increased hydro-carbon demand. Many reasons justify the challenges, such as exploration ...
