(2013-12-16)Obtaining structural information on the extracellular domain (ECD) of α3 subunits of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) by x-ray crystallography is desirable for the design of drugs intended to therapeutically ...
-
(2014-08-07)The Arab Spring has been misidentified as purely a struggle for democracy and political freedoms; however, economic factors might carry more weight in a country’s population deciding to rise up against its government. In ...
-
(2014-09-18)Seamounts play key roles in the ecology of deep-sea fauna acting as sites of high speciation and hence endemism, oases of biomass and biodiversity. Central to biodiversity are deep-sea corals (DSC), important habitat-forming ...
-
This project proposes to create a digital database of modern-era buildings on the TAMU campus of buildings built between the 1930s through the 1970s. This would allow a deeper appreciation of these less understood modern-era ...
-
The purpose of this research is to design a multi-purpose electronic lock for bicycles and motor scooters. This engineering project will develop a battery-powered device that can function both as a touchless electronic ...
-
(2014-09-05)This paper is a primer on many topics related to the digital cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. Bitcoins have been developed and advertised as a private digital money. We analyze this claim, generally to conclude that Bitcoins as ...

-
While manual probing is the gold standard for periodontal assessments, it can be time consuming. Patients can be wrongfully classified due to an inconsistency between examiners, the amount of time a clinician is given for ...
-
Fluids such as gases and liquids are often animated through physically based techniques rather than manually. While this method can generate highly detailed fluids without tedious work from an artist, it also diminishes ...
-
(2018-05-04)There is an ongoing debate in the field of engineering over different approaches to the process of delegation, two of which are requirements allocation (RA) and value-driven design (VDD). In the RA approach, requirements ...
-
(2016-08-15)Herpetofaunal communities have been monitored intermittently on the Matador Wildlife Management Area for the past 12 years in an attempt to understand and track species’ responses to habitat changes. This study analyzed ...
-
(2015-12-21)It is hypothesized that an increase in adipose tissue rigidity can both limit swelling and shrinking of adipocytes which predisposes people to obesity related health problems. Taking into account the alarming trend of ...
-
A search through a large database for a match similar to the object being queried is commonplace. In the field of Bioinformatics, for example, this occurs during BLAST searches, in which an E-score is provided to reflect ...
-
Within cranial bone defect treatments, autografts remain the current gold standard for best healing outcomes. However, if the defect is of a unique shape, this process proves difficult and often requires additional surgeries. ...
-
Natural disasters, such as earthquake, flood, hurricane and tornado, cause disruptions and damages in different infrastructure systems (e.g., water, electricity, road), and thus, greatly affect the quality of life. Despite ...
-
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the largest particle accelerator in the world, is planning on upgrading its performance in the upcoming High-Luminosity LHC project. This project will increase the flux of incoming particles ...
-
Elastography is an ultrasonic imaging modality, which is useful in gaining new information about tissues and diagnosing diseases. Increasing the quality of an image allows for more accurate information to be gained from ...
-
(2012-05-03)The nuclear energy industry is experiencing a renaissance of new reactor design and construction in Asia, North America, and Europe. The new Generation III designs are some of the largest ever built, featuring improved ...
