Observed and estimated (ERHYM-II model) water budgets for South Texas rangelands
(1987)
A three-part study was conducted at the La Copita Research Area, 20 km southwest of Alice, in the eastern Rio Grande Plain of Texas. The research tested the hypothesis that honey mesquite-dominated shrub clusters have ...
Texas Coastal Bend grain sorghum producers' fertilizer decisions under uncertainty
(1985)
Optimal (profit and utility maximizing) fertilizer levels are computed based on normative decision guides developed from experimental data on grain sorghum yield/fertilizer levels over an eight year (1977-1984) period, as ...
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 ...
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 ...
A modeling study of the circulation of East Lagoon, Galveston, Texas
(1989)
A three-dimensional time-dependent primitive equation model has been constructed to investigate the processes that control the circulation in East Lagoon, a narrow, shallow lagoon on Galveston Island, Texas. The primarily ...
The restructuring of a forage fish community following large-scale aquatic vegetation control
(1987)
Following eradication of submersed aquatic vegetation by grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in Lake Conroe, Texas, substantial shifts in the structure of the forage fish community occurred. Density and/or standing crop ...
The growth and consumption of kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L.) by growing beef steers : a model
(1980)
Of all the problems that confront agriculture perhaps the unpredictability of weather is the most difficult to quantify. Twenty years of climatalogical data were obtained for Beeville, Texas and cumulative frequency ...
Variable amortization and financial control under uncertainty : application to Texas rice farms
(1980)
This study was designed primarily to determine the effects of farm financial control process, including variable amortization, as a means of responding to financial risk by the rice farmers in the Texas Coast Prairie area. ...
Thermodyanamic behavior with cost predictions of residential desiccant cooling systems
(1986)
A computer model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of residential, desiccant space conditioning systems. Finite difference methods are used to model a rotating desiccant wheel and the results used to ...
Economic analysis of selected marketing strategies for cotton in the Texas Southern High Plains : a whole-farm simulation approach
(1983)
The marketing of agricultural commodities is a significant determinant in overall farm profitability and/or solvency. No past research has attempted to analyze the relative merits of different marketing strategies for ...
