Simulation of genetic and environmental interaction of sheep production in northern Kenya
(1984)
A mathematical model, programmed in FORTRAN IV, was developed to simulate flocks of sheep on an individual animal basis. Simulations can be performed for any breed where specified breed parameters are potential mature size ...
Determining rangeland brush canopy densities with Landsat MSS data
(1984)
Landsat multispectral scanner digital data was evaluated for use in determining brush canopy densities. A Landsat digital data simulation model was utilized to determine vegetation index sensitivity to changes in brush ...
Study of electron transfer processes involving lithium dialkylamides
(1984)
In this study the potential of a class of lithium dialkyamides to serve as mechanistic probes was investigated. Lithium N-butyl-4-pentenylamide 31 in THF rearranged smoothly to give a mixture (after protonation) which ...
Egg diapause in Psorophora columbiae (Dyar and Knab) : development of a predictive diapause induction model
(1984)
Diapause induction responses for Psorophora columbiae were investigated in photoperiod- and temperatue-controlled growth chambers. The results of these studies demonstrated that egg diapause was induced by photoperiods ...

(1984)
Purpose. The purpose of this study was to assess the status of agricultural mechanics instruction within the production agriculture curriculum in Texas high schools. Methodology. The population of 1,494 teachers of vocational ...
A study of the fine-scale patchiness of selected copepod species in the California Current
(1984)
Seventeen Multiple Opening/Closing Net and Environmental Sensing System hauls were taken in the California Current at a depth of 90m and with a sample interval of 50m over a period of three days and three nights. Thirteen ...
The effect of storms on sediment resuspension and transport on the outer continental shelf, Northwest Gulf of Mexico
(1984)
Time series measurements of current velocity, transmissivity and water temperature, along with meteorological data obtained during the winter of 1980-81 and the spring/summer of 1980 were analyzed in order to determine the ...
The effects of load uncertainty on stresses at the lower back during the pull phase of light load lifting by experienced and non-experienced lifters
(1984)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of load uncertainty on the lifting characteristics of the subjects. Forty male subjects volunteered for this study. Twenty subjects were members of the Texas A&M ...
An empirical investigation of salespeople's behavior, effort and performance during sales contests
(1984)
The primary purpose of this research was to investigate the impact of task-goal attributes on salespeople during a sales contest. The attributes of goal difficulty, goal clarity, and goal acceptance were examined as predictor ...
