(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)An increased public awareness of the importance of a clean, wholesome food supply has focused attention on the problem of preventing and controlling insect infestation. Stored-grain insects feed and develop inside the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)During this study, an apparatus was designed and constructed to allow for cryogenic freezing of 10 gram loaves of yeasted wheat flour dough. Dough loaves were frozen by direct contact freezing with boiling Freon compounds. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1997)One of the technologies for controlling water production in
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The survival of the immature stages of the horn fly, Haematobia irratians (L.), in manure droppings was studied under field conditions in Central Texas during the 1972 and 1973 horn fly seasons. The effect of interspecific ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Computer algorithms were developed for generating the guidance parameters necessary to steer an agricultural tractor in field operations. A variety of operations were considered in order that the guidance program be general ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)Land areas may have considerable variation in characteristics that affect crop production such as different soil types or fertility levels. For optimum farm management this spatial variability should be taken into account. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)Accurate estimation of effective dose received by an animal exposed to a given aerosol requires knowledge of the selective properties of the animal's respiratory system for trapping and retaining aerosol droplets of different ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)The integrated systems for production, distribution, and field release of an egg parasite, Trichogramma sp., and an egg larval predator, Chrysopa carnea Stephens, were analyzed with the aid of flow charts to establish ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1997)An optical radiation measurement system was used to measure
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)A dry process, using hot air jets to cook tempered corn for dry masa flour production, was developed and evaluated. The new process required less energy and water than the method (nixtamalization) presently used. The effect ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Research was conducted to develop and evaluate a chemical injection system for aerial spraying. A high pressure injection system was installed on the aircraft and performance was evaluated. Chemical formulation rate was ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Due to inadequate crop acreage and biomass estimates using satellite and aircraft visible and infrared data, a study was conducted to (1) develop and test agricultural crop classification models using two or more spectral ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2001)Rainfall, one of the most important hydrologic model inputs, varies spatially and temporally. Simulations using rainfall data with a reasonable representation of this variability can be expected to produce better results ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)Subirrigation of summer squash using a fluctuating water table was conducted in 12 lysimeters containing undisturbed soil cores. The soil consisted of a 45-cm depth of sandy loam topsoil and a sandy clay subsoil. The study ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Rough rice may fissure if it is exposed to an adverse environment for a certain period of time. The fissured rough rice will then cause a reduced head rice yield after milling. A Hart Uni-Flow Cylinder Tester was used to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)Stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), were exposed to infrared radiation to determine if they respond to such radiation emitted by cattle and other warm-blooded hosts. The infrared radiation was emitted from a spherical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Investigations were conducted to determine the tensile strength of individual rice grains at moisture equilibrated conditions and immediately after being removed form a moisture adsorbing environment. Researchers have ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Investigations were conducted on the ultimate tensile and compressive strengths, modulus of elasticity, proportional limit and modulus of toughness of individual brown rice kernels at moisture equilibrated conditions ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Ultimate tensile and compressive strengths, corresponding moduli of elasticity, and compressive stress relaxation properties (relaxation time constants) of parboiled brown rice were investigated. Samples were prepared from ...
