    • The electrochemical oxidation of alcohols 
      Lentsch, Steven Eugene (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)
      The electrochemical oxidation of aliphatic and tert-benzylic alcohols has been studied. Voltammetry was used to demonstrate that the alcohols are oxidized directly at the anode surface. It was found that acetonitrile and ...
    • Hedging With a Put Option 
      Anderson, Carl; Smith, Jackie; McCorkle, Dean; O'Brien, Daniel (1999-06-23)
      Put options are a pricing tool with considerable flexibility for managing price risk. This publication discusses some put option basics, how put options work and how to use them.
    • How USDA Forecasts Production and Supply/Demand 
      Anderson, David P.; O'Brien, Daniel; Welch, Mark (2009-06-01)
      USDA publishes crop supply and demand estimates for each month. Producers, merchandisers, processors, traders and other market participants rely on this information when making their buying and selling decisions. This ...
    • Investigations of the mechanistic details and potential synthetic applications of the di-[pi]-methane rearrangement 
      Bracken, Christopher Andrew (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)
      The di-π-methane rearrangement has been shown to be of very general scope. During the course of a study designed to broaden the scope of this rearrangement by including a nitrogen atom in the backbone of the di-π-methane ...
    • A mechanistic study of heteroatom di-pi-methane systems containing silicon and nitrogen 
      Krochmal, Emil (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)
      A series of substituted divinylsilanes: dimethyl-distyryl-(11). Triphenyl-stryrl-(12), diphenyl-distyryl(13), have been prepared for photochemical study. The results of low conversion photolyses of the di-methyl-di-styrylsilane ...
    • NMR studies and rotational isomerism in fluoroacetones 
      Lin, Hung-leo (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)
      The subject matter of this dissertation is an NMR study of α-haloacetones. In order to probe into the related structural questions of rotational isomerism, configurational equilibria, conformational analysis, etc., proton ...
    • Obtaining and Using USDA Market and Production Reports 
      Bevers, Stan; Amosson, Stephen H.; Smith, Jackie; O'Brien, Daniel (2008-10-07)
      Producers who have superior information hold a distinct marketing advantage over those who do not. This publication lists various sources of marketing and production information and where to obtain them.
    • Oxygen based radicals in organic chemistry 
      Van de Mark, Michael Roy (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)
      The remote oxidation of unactivated carbon-hydrogen bonds by photo-excited nitrobenzene and benzophenone derivatives is described. The procedure is illustrated by the key step in the conversion of 5α-androstand-3α-of to ...
    • Rhenium and technetium porphyrin complexes with unusual geometries 
      Hrung, Chang-Po (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1975)
      Monometallic and bimetallic porphyrin complexes of rhenium and technetium nave been synthesized by reaction of stoichiometric quantities of Re₂(CO)�₀ or Tc₂(CO)�₀ with porphyrin In refluxing decalin under argon. ...
    • Using Options to Hedge Farm and Ranch Inputs 
      Anderson, David P.; McCorkle, Dean; Schwart Jr., Robert B.; O'Brien, Daniel (1999-09-29)
      A call option is a pricing tool that helps producers manage the price risks associated with farm and ranch inputs. This publication offers a thorough explanation of the way call options work. It includes various strategies ...
