Career related motivational characteristics of male nursing students as compared to female nursing students
(1983)
Purpose. The purposes of this study were to: (a) identify a descriptive profile of male and female nursing students to determine the motivational factors in their career selection, and (b) compare motivational factors of ...
Physiological-climatological model to predict Texas rice yields
(1983)
The 14 years of daily and hourly data from three selected stations in Texas were used to determine if they could assist in predicting the Texas rice yields per planted hectare. Minimum temperature in the first stage and ...
A statistical analysis of energy comsumption in single family detached residences in Garland, Texas
(1982)
A wide range of statistical techniques utilized in this project have proved to be applicable to the problem of predicting various dependent variables associated with energy consumption in single family detached residences. ...
Development and evaluation of a culture system suitable for the production of Gulf Killifish (Fundulus grandis Baird and Girard) for live bait in the thermal effluent of a power plant
(1982)
Investigations concerning spawning, hatching and grow-out of Fundulus grandis were conducted in 0.1-ha brackish water ponds in Texas. Studies focused on developing economical feeds, increasing production through improved ...
Molybdenum status of Texas soils : fertilization trials, anion exchange estimations, and correlation with soil chemical properties
(1982)
Fifty five surface soils were evaluated for yield response to Mo fertilization. Dry matter yields of the + Mo and no Mo treatments were significantly different on approximately 33% of the soils. Only three soils produced ...
A survey of selected preservice vocational teacher training programs in the state of Texas relative to the education of handicapped students
(1984)
The aim of this study was to determine if preservice vocational teacher educators of selected vocational education programs are complying with the general certification requirements adopted by the Texas State Board of ...
A probabilistic forecasting model of tropical cyclone-generated storm surge for a straight coastline
(1984)
A dynamic and statistical algorithm is constructed for a probabilistic forecasting of storm surge. The three essential constituents of this algorithm are: (1) an appropriate tropical cyclone model, (2) a justified and ...
An empirical assessment of behavioral aspects and other determinants of rural landowners' hunter access policies
(1985)
Access to private lands for hunting is a growing national problem. The supply of rural land on which hunting and other outdoor recreational activities is dependent is decreasing annually through land conversions and closures. ...
An empirical survey investigation of energy conserving behavior of Texas citizens utilizing the human ecology theoretical perspective
(1983)
The goals of this research were to demonstrate the applicability of human ecology theory for the study of energy-society relationships, to develop hypotheses from the human ecology theoretical framework about the nature ...
A combined serviceability and distress pavement performance model for estimating remaining service life of flexible pavements
(1983)
A procedure is developed to estimate the remaining service life of flexible pavements based upon predicted ride and distress conditions. These conditions are forecast using equations that involve measurable values of ...
