B-RPM: An Efficient One-to-Many Communication Framework for On-Chip Networks
(2012-10-19)The prevalence of multicore architectures has accentuated the need for scalable on-chip communication media. Various parallel applications and programming paradigms use a mix of unicast (one-to-one) and multicast (one-to-many) ... -
B-spline finite elements for plane elasticity problems
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)The finite element method since its development in the 1950??????s has been used extensively in solving complex problems involving partial differential equations. The conventional finite element methods use piecewise ... -
Babesia microti cysteine protease-1 as a target for vaccine development
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Babesia species have a worldwide distribution, affecting a wide range of mammalian hosts. The major route of transmission is inoculation by an infected Ixodid tick. Babesia species of major economic concern are those that ... -
Babesia microti Recombinant DNA Vaccine as a Model for Babesia bovis Prevention
(2011-02-22)Babesiosis is caused by a genus of tick-transmitted apicomplexan parasites with considerable economic, medical, and veterinary impact. Bovine babesiosis is an important impediment to livestock production throughout the ... -
Back-calculating emission rates for ammonia and particulate matter from area sources using dispersion modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)Engineering directly impacts current and future regulatory policy decisions. The foundation of air pollution control and air pollution dispersion modeling lies in the math, chemistry, and physics of the environment. ... -
Background Knowledge, Category Labels, and Similarity Judgment
(2011-10-21)Labels are one source of our judgments. By assigning labels to objects, we not only create references but we also group prior and current experiences together. The goal of this research is to investigate how labels influence ... -
Backward Precessional Whip and Whirl for a Two Point Rubbing Contact Model of a Rigid Rotor Supported by an Elastically Supported Rigid Stator
(2011-10-21)The present work investigates the phenomena of whip and whirl for a rigid rotor contacting at two bearing locations. The idea originated from an anemometer consisting of a rotor with an elastically supported stator undergoing ... -
Backward time behavior of dissipative PDE
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)We study behavior for negative times t of the 2D periodic Navier-Stokes equations and Burgers' original model for turbulence. Both systems are proved to have rich sets of solutions that exist for all t - R and increase ... -
Bacteria in Ballast Water: The Shipping Industry's Contributions to the Transport and Distribution of Microbial Species in Texas
(2010-10-12)The transportation of organisms in the ballast water of cargo ships has been recognized as a source of invasive species despite current control measures. Pathogenic bacteria in the ballast tank have been studied but the ... -
Bacterial and fungal organisms in the vagina of normal cows and cows with vaginitis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Bacterial and fungal culturing was conducted on samples taken from the vaginal fornix of 106 cows, of which 42 had vaginitis and 64 had normal vaginas. The diagnosis of vaginitis and non-vaginitis samples was determined ... -
Bacterial Effector HopF2 Suppresses Arabidopsis Immunity by Targeting BAK1
(2013-07-19)Pseudomonas syringae delivers a plethora of effector proteins into host cells to sabotage host immune responses and physiology to favor infection. We have previously shown that P. syringae pv. tomato DC3000 effector HopF2 ... -
Bacterial Source Tracking in Impaired Watersheds: Evaluation of Culture-Dependent and -Independent Methods for Increased Source Specificity and Improved Management
(2013-05-02)Bacterial contamination due to excessive levels of bacteria is a confounding problem and remediation of impaired watersheds relies on the detection of fecal indicator bacteria and then assessing the source of said bacteria. ... -
Bacterial total maximum daily load (TMDL): development and evaluation of a new classification scheme for impaired waterbodies of Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)Under the Clean Water Act (CWA) program the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) listed 110 stream segments with pathogenic bacteria impairment in 2000. The current study was conducted to characterize the ... -
Bacteriophage ms2 l protein: genetic and biochemical characterization
(2009-05-15)In order to release progeny, bacteriophages must lyse the host cell by compromising the peptidoglycan layer. There are two known strategies of lysis: the holin-endolysin system and single gene lysis (SGL), which are dependent ... -
Bacteriophage P1: a new paradigm for control of phage lysis
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The N-terminal hydrophobic domain of the phage P1 endolysin Lyz was found to facilitate the export of Lyz in a sec-dependent fashion, explaining the ability of Lyz to cause lysis of E.coli in the absence of the P1 holin. ... -
Bacteriophage T4 lysis and lysis inhibition: molecular basis of an ancient story
(2009-05-15)T4 requires two proteins: holin, T (lesion formation and lysis timing) and endolysin, E (cell wall degradation) to lyse the host at the end of its life cycle. E is a cytoplasmic protein that sequestered away from its ... -
Bahamian ship graffiti
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The Bahamian archipelago covers over 5,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean at the northwestern edge of the Caribbean Sea. In the Age of Sail, from the late 15th to early 20th centuries, these islands were on major ... -
