Storage condition effects on stress relaxation and fissuring behavior in rough rice
(1981)
Post drying fissures are directly associated with the head (whole grain) yield of rough rice in milling. Factors which affect the post drying fissures are drying temperature (drying rate) and storage condition (temperature ...
A quantile function approach to the k-sample quantile regression problem
(1981)
In this dissertation a procedure for estimating the parameters of a quantile regression function is investigated. The procedure is based on the work of Parzen (1979a) in the theory of quantile functions and is applicable ...
Damage assessment and alternate host plants of sorghum panicle-feeding bugs
(1981)
Five species of panicle--feeding bugs were found in commercial sorghum in southeast central Texas: Rice stink bug (Oebalus pugnax F.), southern green stink bug (Nezara viridu la L.), leaffooted bug (Leptoglossus phyllopus ...
Spatial discriminatory pricing with a general cost function
(1981)
This dissertation analyzes the pricing decision of firms that sell over distance (referred to as spatial firms) and consequently, are subject to significant transportation cost. An optional control framework is used to ...
Heavy Ion Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry
(1981)
Theory predicts enhanced mass and depth resolution as well as greater sensitivity for RBS with heavy ions vs. protons or alphas. In this study the actual analytical capabilities of Heavy Ion RBS (HIRBS) were evaluated for ...
A comparison of two types of psychiatric hospitalization for adolescents
(1981)
The present investigation was to determine the academic achievement of two groups of inpatient adolescents three to six years after discharge. One group had not received structured educational curriculum during treatment ...
The use of self monitored activity schedules in the treatment of depression
(1981)
Forty depressed subjects were selected from four different outpatient settings and were assigned to various treatment groups. The purpose of the study was to design and test a self monitored behavioral treatment program ...
Theoretical and observational study of Langmuir circulation
(1981)
Craik (1977) showed from the theory developed by Leibovich (1977) that cellular roll motion similar to that found in Langmuir cells can develop as an instability due to the interaction of surface waves and currents. Solutions ...
Characterization of Campylobacter fetus in foods
(1981)
The role of Campylobacter fetus in human illness has been recently rediscovered. C. fetus subsp. jejuni is now a widely recognized enteric pathogen. C. fetus subsp. intestinalis is also recognized as an opportunistic ...
