??C(n,?) ??C as a Test Case in the Evaluation of a New Method to Determine Spectroscopic Factors Using Asymptotic Normalization Coefficients
(2012-02-14)With new radioactive isotope accelerators coming online in the next decade, the problem of extracting reliable nuclear structure information from reactions with unstable nuclei deserves considerable attention. A method has ... -
C. Elegans and Microbeam Models in Bystander Effect Research
(2013-08-01)Radiation induced bystander effects have changed our understanding of the biological effects of ionizing radiations. The original assumption was that biological effects require direct damage to DNA. The bystander effect ... -
C10 semi-peptoid beta-turn peptidomimetics: syntheses, characterization and biological studies
(2009-06-02)Over the years, the Burgess group has been focusing on the preparation and testing of small molecules that mimic protein secondary structures for protein-protein interactions. The most successful compounds made are C10 ... -
Calcite dissolution kinetics and solubility in Na-Ca-Mg-Cl brines of geologically relevant composition at 0.1 to 1 bar pCO2 and 25 to 80??C
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Sedimentary basins can contain close to 20% by volume pore fluids that are commonly classified as brines. These fluids can become undersaturated with respect to calcite as a result of processes such as migration, dispersive ... -
Calcite Reaction Kinetics in Saline Waters
(2012-02-14)The effect of ionic strength (I), pCO2, and temperature on the reaction kinetics of calcite was investigated in magnesium-free, phosphate-free, low calcium (mCa^2 ? 0.01 ? 0.02 molal) simple KCl and NaCl solutions from ... -
Calcium balance and bone density in immature horses fed a high protein diet
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Studies in other species indicate high protein diets increase urinary calcium (Ca) excretion and may lead to negative calcium balance and reduced bone density. As overfeeding of protein is commonplace in the horse ... -
Calcium Montmorillonite for the Mitigation of Aflatoxicosis and Gastrointestinal Inflammation
(2014-08-06)Clays have been used for centuries as ?ancient medicine? for their therapeutic benefits. One particular clay, calcium montmorillonite, has historically been used as an anti-caking agent in animal feeds, but has also ... -
Calcium Signaling Mechanisms Mediate Clock-Controlled ATP Gliotransmission among Immortalized Rat SCN2.2 Cell Cultures
(2010-10-12)The hypothalamus is an integral part of the brain's regulation of mammalian physiology and behavior. Among many functions, this regulatory center activates the sympathetic nervous system, maintains appropriate body ... -
Calcium Sulfate Formation and Mitigation when Seawater was Used to Prepare HCl-Based Acids
(2012-02-14)It has been a practice to use seawater for preparing acid in offshore operations where fresh water is relatively expensive or logistically impossible to use. However, hydrochloric acid will release calcium ion into solution, ... -
Calculation of Extreme Wave Loads on Coastal Highway Bridges
(2010-01-14)Coastal bridges are exposed to severe wave, current and wind forces during a hurricane. Most coastal bridges are not designed to resist wave loads in such extreme situations, and there are no existing analytical methods ... -
Calculation of Steady-State Evaporation for an Arbitrary Matric Potential at Ground Surface
(2014-12-15)In the past few decades, many researchers have studied evaporation from soil columns in the presence of a water table. Several water retention functions have been developed to describe the water flow behavior in the field ... -
Calibrated Continuous-Time Sigma-Delta Modulators
(2010-07-14)To provide more information mobility, many wireless communication systems such as WCDMA and EDGE in phone systems, bluetooth and WIMAX in communication networks have been recently developed. Recent efforts have been made ... -
Calibration and data reduction algorithms for non-conventional multi-hole pressure probes
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)This thesis presents the development of calibration and data-reduction algorithms for non-conventional multi-hole pressure probes. The algorithms that have been developed for conventional 5- and 7-hole probes are not optimal ... -
Calibration studies of the Hayes Coastal Engineering Laboratory
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The Hayes Coastal Engineering Laboratory is a new laboratory with two water basins: a 45.72-meters long, 3.66 meters wide and 3.06 meters deep Tow Tank with sediment pit for dredging and current flow studies, and a 36.58 ... -
Calpain and lipopolysaccharide mediated hepatitis
(2009-06-02)This study tested the role of the calcium dependent cytosolic protein calpain in neutrophilic hepatitis. We hypothesized that inhibition of calpain would protect against LPS-induced neutrophilic liver damage. To test our ... -
Camera based texture mapping: 3D applications for 2D images
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)This artist??s area of research is the appropriate use of matte paintings within the context of completely computer generated films. The emphasis of research is the adaptation of analog techniques and paradigms into a ... -
Camera-based Texture Mapping: An Approach for Creating Digital Environments with Foreground Forms Using 2d Paintings
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)This thesis develops the method of using textures projected from the perspective of a projection camera, in combination with two-dimensional paintings and threedimensional models, to create digital environments. Past uses ... -
Camp counselors working with chronically ill children
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)A growing body of empirical evidence suggests that attending specialized summer camps is beneficial for chronically ill youth (Briery & Rabian, 1999). However, there is some inconsistency across studies regarding these ... -
