An alternative automatic indexing model and an empirical investigation into the relationship between nominal interest rates and expected inflation
(1981)
The purpose of this research study is to theoretically examine the joint issue of horizontal and vertical tax equity and automatic indexation when classes of assets do not equally respond to inflation. As part of this ...
Measurement of the charged particle spectra from neutron irradiated tissue-equivalent plastic
(1981)
The charged particle spectra from the 49 MeV deuteron on beryllium neutron beam onto Shonka A-150 tissue-equivalent plastic has been measured as a function of off-axis angle from 10?? to 90??. Particle detection was ...
Population biology of the common ground dove and ecological relationships with mourning and white-winged doves in south Texas
(1981)
Breeding biology, behavior, and food habits of the common ground dove (Columbina passerina) in native brushlands of Live Oak County, Texas were investigated during 1978-80. Comparative data from mourning (Zenaida macroura) ...
Marital relationship factors associated with coronary heart disease
(1981)
The marital relationships of 97 male coronary patients of a regional medical center and their spouses were evaluated by three methods: behavior type, self-referencing, and marital communication. Since self-referencing was ...
The growth, respiration and energetics of Mysidopsis almyra (Crustacea :Mysidacea) in relation to temperature, salinity and hydrocarbon exposure
(1981)
A total of 6,924 individual mysids (Mysidopsis almyra) were divided among 249 combinations of temperature (20, 25 and 30(DEGREES)C), salinity (10, 20 and 30 ppt), South Louisiana crude oil water soluble fraction (WSF) ...
Evaluation of a model which predicts whole plant respiration from photosynthesis and biomass
(1981)
Over time, whole plant growth is nearly the balance between photosynthesis and respiration. This research consisted of devising and testing a model which predicts plant respiration rates from knowledge of the photosynthesis ...
Effect of dietary electrolytes, sodium and chloride on physiological and production responses of lactating dairy cows and growing pigs in hot weather
(1981)
Different dietary sodium and chloride concentrations were evaluated in lactating dairy cows and growing pigs in the summer of 1980. Twelve Holsteins and 12 Jerseys were divided into six equivalent groups and assigned to ...
A comparison of psychotherapeutic treatments for muscle-contraction headache
(1981)
The main purpose of this study was to compare the following approaches as to their relative effectiveness in the reduction of muscle-contraction headache activity: (a) biofeedback training, (b) cognitive coping-skills ...
Population dynamics of four species of Geocoris in the peanut agroecosystem
(1981)
The effect of temperature on development, survivorship, reproductivity, and longevity of Geocoris pallens Stal, Geocoris punctipes (Say), Geocoris uliginosus (Say), and Geocoris lividipennis Stal was studied at a series ...
The prediction of vocational rehabilitation outcomes for high school students using objective psychometric techniques and selected demographic variables
(1981)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between scores on a battery of psychometric instruments, selected demographic variables and the final vocational rehabilitation (VR) closure status for high ...
