Angle of projection and available force in the long jump
(1981)
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the variables associated with successful long jump performance. Specifically the purpose of this study was to investigate the optimum angle of projection and ...
A heuristic programming approach to arterial signal timing
(1981)
The objective of this research was to evaluate a heuristic programming approach to optimize arterial street signal timing variables. The approach used a maximum bandwidth progression procedure (PASSER II) in combination ...
Postharvest induced changes in sweet potato quality
(1981)
The effects of storage systems on sweet potato quality were studied. A double-walled plastic greenhouse-like structure with outside air exchange proved to be a very good alternative to large, expensive commerical storage ...
Hereditary striatonigral and cerebello-olivary degeneration of the Kerry Blue Terrier
(1981)
The character and progression of central nervous system and non-nervous system lesions of a hereditary neurodegenerative disease in the Kerry Blue Terrier were studied in 10 affected dogs ranging in age from 5 to 12 months. ...
The effects of variable resistance circuit weight training on cardiovascular fitness and body composition
(1981)
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effects of a variable resistance circuit weight training program upon certain cardiovascular fitness and body composition parameters of college-age males. Specifically, ...
Theory and application of linear periodic differential equations which contain a small parameter
(1981)
New results in the theory and application of linear periodic differential equations containing a small parameter are presented. First, results on the convergence of an asymptotic solution algorithm for these equations are ...
Perceptions of the importance and the assignment of supervisory tasks within Texas Agricultural Extension Service
(1981)
The purposes of the study were to develop from the findings suggestions for clarifying the tasks to be conducted by the county supervisor, the district Extension director, or others; and to develop suggestions for changing ...
Discretionary accounting changes in relation to income smoothing, firm characteristics and bankruptcy prediction models
(1981)
The purpose of this study was to extend the body of research pertaining to: (1) the use of discretionary accounting changes by management; (2) possible characteristics that are useful in isolating those firms most likely ...
Management of lepidopterous pests of cabbage in the Texas rolling plains
(1981)
A composite economic threshold was developed for use in management of lepidopterous cabbage pests. Major emphasis was on the cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hubner), diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), and imported ...
Methods for analyzing untransformed data from the negative multinomial distribution
(1981)
Several methods for analyzing untransformed data from negative multinomial distributions are presented with examples. These include a test of fit, a comparison of mean values, and an analysis of linear models. The techniques ...
