Essays in labor supply
(1983)
The objectives of this dissertation are to examine (1) static and dynamic labor supply behavior of individuals and (2) the separability of commodities from leisure. While these topics are concerned with labor supply behavior ...
Effects of social cues on perceived task characteristics : a longitudinal analysis
(1983)
The primary objective of this dissertation was the empirical investigation of relationships between information sources and perceived task characteristics. Relationships investigated included the stability of perceived ...
Origin and evolution of the West Philippine basin
(1983)
Analyses of the compiled magnetic, bathymetric and seismic reflection data show that the West Philippine Basin was formed by seafloor spreading from the Central Basin Spreading Center in two distinctly different spreading ...
The use of GaP in the development of electronic devices for high temperature applications
(1983)
The needs for electronic components operating at or above 275 C have been demonstrated. In order to meet these requirements, it was suggested that gallium phosphide (GaP) be used as the semiconducting material. This ...
The nature of information loss in the paleoecological reconstruction of benthic macrofaunal communities using faunal assemblages from the recent Texas coastal environment
(1983)
The living benthic communities and their death assemblages at two locations on the Texas coast were studied in detail to determine their taxonomic and structural variability so that the processes by which organisms are ...
Single crystal silicon sphere growth for solar cell applications
(1983)
Single crystalline silicon spheres for use in a solar electrochemical convertor array have been fabricated by the melt drop technique in a quartz shot tower. Molten silicon flows through a quartz capillary tube as a liquid ...
An analysis of the perceptions of selected administrators regarding the criteria used in determining classified or non-classified status of non-faculty positions as utilized in Texas state colleges and universities
(1983)
The purpose of this study was to examine the criteria used for categorizing non-faculty positions as being classified or non-classified in state colleges and universities. The assumptions were that they were often vague ...
Convergence tectonics of the Peru Trench : 8°S-15°S latitude
(1983)
This study has examined the tectonics of convergence along the Peru Trench with the specific objective to gain insight into the sediment subduction process. Analysis of GLORIA (Geological Long Range Inclined Asdic) long-range ...
A quasi-coincidence measurement of the polarization of radiation emitted from the 3³p state of fast helium atoms populated by He-He charge transfer collisions
(1983)
The circular and linear polarizations of photons emitted in the 2('3)S-3('3)P HeI transition have been measured. The 3('3)P state of fast helium atoms was populated by He('+)-He charge transfer collisions in the incident ...
Development and characterization of an instant tortilla flour from sorghum and maize by infra-red cooking (micronizing) and extrusion cooking
(1983)
The pH, density, water absorption index, color, viscosity, particle size, and chemical composition of nine, U.S. and Mexican, nixtamalized, instant maize (NIM) flours, measured in 1983 were different (p = 0.05) from those ...
