Kinematic and Mechanical Reconstruction of Walker Ridge Structures, Deepwater Gulf of Mexico
(2011-02-22)Recent high-resolution seismic imaging has allowed detailed reconstruction of the relationship between fold development and crestal faulting of the Chinook and Cascade folds in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Using 3-D seismic ... -
Kinematics measurements of regular, irregular, and rogue waves by PIV/LDV
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)A comprehensive experimental study was conducted to produce benchmark wave kinematics data for five different regular waves and the maxima of four different irregular wave trains. Two of the irregular waves generated are ... -
Kinetic and Friction Head Loss Impacts on Horizontal Water Supply and Aquifer Storage and Recovery Wells
(2014-12-02)Groundwater wells can have extreme pressure buildup when injecting and extreme pressure drawdown when extracting. Greater wellbore contact with the aquifer minimizes pressure buildup and pressure drawdown. Aquifers are ... -
Kinetic isotope effects, dynamic effects, and mechanistic studies of organic reactions
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Several organic reactions that could potentially involve coarctate transition states were investigated by a combination of experimental and theoretical studies. In the thermal fragmentation of ??????-1,3,4-oxadiazolines, ... -
Kinetic Modeling and Assessment of Lime Pretreatment of Poplar Wood
(2012-02-14)Because of widespread availability, low cost, sustainability, and potential supply far greater than that of food crops, lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most promising feedstocks for producing biofuels through ... -
Kinetic Modeling of the Hydrocracking of Fused-Ring Di-Aromatic Species
(2015-01-16)The derivation of kinetic models for the development and simulation of hydrocarbon processes require detailed information on the reaction network. In the present work, experiments on the hydrocracking of fused-ring species, ... -
Kinetic modeling of the hydrotreatment of light cycle oil/diesel
(2009-05-15)A rigorous kinetic model of hydrodesulfurization (HDS) of complex mixtures such as light cycle oil (LCO) or diesel has been developed. An experimental setup was constructed to investigate the hydrotreatment of complex ... -
Kinetics and dynamics study on the allosteric pathway of phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli (EcPFK) is allosterically regulated by MgADP and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which act to activate or inhibit, respectively, by changing the substrate (Fru-6-P) affinity of the ... -
Kinetics of acrylamide formation in potato chips
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)Acrylamide is considered a carcinogen in animals and a possible carcinogen in humans. It has been found in starch rich foods cooked at high temperatures. Vacuum frying (10 Torr) was studied as a possible alternative to ... -
Kinetics of an Inverse Temperature Transition Process and Its Application on Supported Lipid Bilayer
(2011-10-21)This dissertation focuses on the study of inverse temperature transition processes of the poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) and the elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs). A novel temperature jump microfluidic system is ... -
Kinetics of Anionic Surfactant Anoxic Degradation
(2010-07-14)The biodegradation kinetics of Geropon TC-42 (trademark) by an acclimated culture was investigated in anoxic batch reactors to determine biokinetic coefficients to be implemented in two biofilm mathematical models. Geropon ... -
KISS1 and Its G Protein-Coupled Receptor (GPR54) in Cancer Progression and Metastasis
(2012-02-14)Activation of G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54) signaling generated by kisspeptins (endogenous GPR54 ligands encoded by KISS1 gene) has been known to regulate puberty and to suppress cancer metastasis. However, an ... -
Kiss1 Gene Expression and the Effects of Kisspeptin During Pubertal Development in the Ewe Lamb
(2012-02-14)Increased pulsatile release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) is critical for pubertal initiation of ovarian cycles in female mammals. Kisspeptin, a peptide product of the Kiss1 gene, ... -
Kitcher's Problem with Asymmetry
(2012-10-19)The twentieth century was dominated by two rival views of scientific explanation. The first is the causal view in which causation is primitive. According to this view, the best explanations are the ones that tell us the ... -
Knife-Edge Scanning Microscope Mouse Brain Atlas In Vector Graphics For Enhanced Performance
(2013-07-17)The microstructure of the brain at the cellular level provides crucial information for the understanding of the function of the brain. A large volume of high-resolution brain image data from 3D microscopy is an essential ... -
