Examining the ecological function of small-scale living shorelines in Galveston Bay
(2022-12-01)Living shorelines are an increasingly popular shoreline protection strategy. In contrast to traditional armoring techniques such as concrete bulkheads, living shorelines are designed to provide the many ecological functions ... -
Shock-Induced Geochemical Variations in the Keplerite-Bearing Assemblages of Tissint and Intergrown Apatite-Merrillite Assemblages of ALH 84001,146
(2022-12-01)Shock metamorphism describes changes (physical, chemical) that occur to materials (structures, rocks, minerals) as a result of shock wave deformation. All Martian meteorites have been subjected to shock, though the degree ... -
Application of Whole Genome Sequencing and Maldi-Tof to Identification of Bacillus Species Isolated from Cleanrooms at Nasa Johnson Space Center
(2021-12-15)Astromaterial cleanrooms at NASA Johnson Space Center are built environments that hold samples, such as lunar rocks, from different space exploration missions. Bacillus sp. are frequently detected in routine microbial ... -
Oa1s and Oa2s Radiative corrections for w-boson production at the tevatron and atlas experiment
(2022-05-31)In this thesis, we propose an approach for calculating W-Boson Transverse Momentum Dependent (TMD) distributions using the LHAPDF library with nCTEQ15, MSTW2008 and CT10 Parton Distribution Functions (PDF). We utilize ... -
Application of Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) for Differentiating Sources of Fecal Pollution
(2022-05-27)Since the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act in 1973, pinniped populations in coastal waters of the United States have increased exponentially. These high populations of large mammals could contribute to fecal ... -
Foraging Ecology of Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops Truncatus) in Galveston Bay, Texas
