(Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University, 1988)A simulation model of hourly rainfall amounts was developed to provide hourly precipitation input to a water balance model. The hourly rainfall model consists of four parts: (1) daily rainfall occurrence, (2) event rainfall ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Rice kernels may develop fissures due to internal stresses when subjected to moisture adsorbing environments. Rice kernels were initially conditioned to three equilibrium relative humidities (ERH) of 46, 62, and 80%, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Investigations were conducted on moisture removal from high moisture freshly harvested rough rice under different flash-drying screen temperatures for different exposure periods. Other observations of effects on shelling, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The cracks which form in expansive clay soils during desiccation, due to their unique swelling and shrinking property, greatly influences agricultural and geotechnical processes, such as water infiltration, solute movement, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Fungi can be used as bioremediation agents because they actively colonize a soil matrix and they produce spores which can aid survival in extreme conditions. Genetic modifications to microorganisms allow flexibility in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)In the modeling process, an issue of concern is the relationship between the development of the model and the physics of the process being represented. An attempt is made to maintain an accurate representation of the process ...
-
(Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University; Texas A&M University, 1991)An integrated expert system for farm machinery management, titled Farm-machinery Analysis, Research and Management (FARM), was developed I at the Agricultural Engineering Department of Texas A&M University for use on ...

-
(Texas A&M University, 1988)Biomass hydrolyzates contain a mixture of hexoses, pentoses and disaccha- rides, the major components being glucose, xylose and cellobiose. These substrates generally are not all utilized with equal efficiency during ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Texturized defatted soy flour was separated into protein fractions or lumps. The lumping technique consisted of successive solubilization of the capillary rheometer extrudate in water, buffer, mercaptoethanol, and sodium ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)A machine vision system was developed to inspect fresh-market carrots. Software and hardware components were designed and developed into a working inspection system, INSPECT. The main objectives of this study were to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Recently the need to treat agricultural fields as variable entities has been recognized. A practical example is the optimization of fertilizer application rates according to natural variability of soil type. It has also ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Experimental and numerical simulation studies of solute transport processes in porous media were conducted to gain increased understanding of the phenomena that occur as solutes and water move through porous media. A ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)The mechanical and physical properties of mature cotton stalks were investigated. Sections 6 inches in length were selected and used for the test specimens. Tensile, flexural and shear forces were measured by a load cell ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The cage gin is a relatively new development to gin cotton fibers which is currently being commercialized. It has the advantage that the lint obtained with it is higher quality than that obtained with the saw gin or roller ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)A theoretical model was developed for predicting effects of temperature-time history, temperature, shear rate and moisture content on apparent viscosity of heated-denaturing defatted soy flour dough. The model was developed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)A noninvasive, objective measurement method for predicting intramuscular fat concentration in beef through ultrasonic A-mode and frequency analysis was developed. Ultrasonic longitudinal and shear speed were evaluated for ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)End jointing short pieces of lumber is a promising way to reduce wood waste and better utilize wood resources. Maintaining quality of end joints in structural lumber requires intensive quality control (QC) efforts due to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)A three-dimensional model describing the two-phase (air-water) fluid flow equations in an integrated saturates-unsaturated porous medium was developed. Also, a three-dimensional convective-dispersion equation describing ...
