Analyses of plane parabolic arches using parabolic curved beam elements
(1982)
The stiffness matrix of a general planar six degrees of freedom curved beam element was derived utilizing Castigliano's second theorem. The theorem was also employed in the derivation of the equivalent loads due to uniformly ...
Confidence limits for the global optimum
(1982)
For many optimization problems approximate or near-optimal solutions are the only practical solutions available. This dissertation identifies and compares some procedures which use independent near-optimal solutions to ...
Characterization of polymerizable surfactant vesicles by nuclear magnetic, absorbance and fluorescence spectroscopy
(1982)
The formation of vesicles and polymeric vesicles from unsaturated surfactants was discussed in regards to conditions for formation (sample size and sonication time), polymerization, substrate entrapment, hydroxide ion ...
Effect of physicochemical properties of sorghum starch and endosperm on the quality of a traditional African food
(1982)
Physicochemical properties of starch and endosperm were characterized for several sorghumcultivars. A small scale laboratory method was developed for cooking to in acid and alkali media using 9.5 g sorghum flour. Testing ...
On the nearshore hydrography of the upper Texas coast
(1982)
Analyses of nearshore current, wind, and hydrographic data collected along the upper Texas coast are presented. Results show that hydrographic variations due to advection have a pronounced effect on the overall hydrography ...
A comparison of the marital satisfaction of clergy and lay couples
(1982)
The major purpose of this study was to compare the marital satisfaction of clergy and lay couples. A review of the literature yielded little information concerning the marital satisfaction of clergy couples. There have ...
Effects of rainfall, recruitment, and the operation of the Cedar Bayou Electric Generating Station (Baytown, Texas) on the dynamics of fish and macrocrustacean communities in the brackish intake and discharge waters
(1982)
The impact of the Cedar Bayou Electric Generating Station upon fishes and macrocrustaceans in the intake area, discharge canal, and cooling lake during 1972-1979 was evaluated. Data used to determine relative abundance, ...
The synthesis and characterization of arsenocholine and related compounds
(1982)
It has been known for 80 years, that arsenic is present in marine organisms in form of organic compounds. Only recently have some of these compounds been identified. Arsenobetaine, arsenocarbohydrates and dimethyl(2-hydr ...
The metabolism of calcium in temperature stressed Gallus domesticus and Meleagris gallopavo
(1982)
Calcium metabolism in the temperature stressed domestic chicken and turkey was examined by (1) studying the effects of brooding temperature, dietary phosphorus and molybdenum on bone mineralization in 10-day-old turkey ...
