(1977)Ferroelectric crystals show an unexpected T³ᐟ² term in the specific heat. An experiment is discussed, as well as background information on ferroelectrics and specific heats, in which the thermal expansion coefficient is ...
-
(1986)Selecting an integrated accounting system to meet the needs of a small business can be a difficult process if one does not know much about computer systems. Small businesses realize their need for an interactive accounting ...
-
(1977)The albacore, Thunnus alalunga, is a high seas pelagic tuna (Scombridae) whose distribution frequently seems governed by temperature. Tunas probably behaviorly thermoregulate using kineses. One method for explaining this ...
-
A Morphological And Anatomical Characterization Of Leaf Burn Induced From Foliar Applied Nutrients (1982)Foliar applied nutrients have been used to overcome nutrient deficiencies on a variety of crops; however, leaf burn is often a problem. Zea mays plants were treated with 12% N from urea to study the leaf burn phenomenon. ...
-
(1977)Lysyl oxidase from bovine ligamentum nuchae has been purified by two different methods. The first method utilized urea extraction, ion exchange chromatography, and affinity chromatography. The second method consisted of ...
-
(1986)The purpose of this project is to prepare a plan for the comprehensive revitalization of downtown Bryan. The intent of the plan shall be to integrate downtown’s past heritage and present conditions into a formula for ...
-
(1983)Twelve distinct and homogeneous wetland regions were defined for Texas by considering water availability and substrate characteristics. Regions were subsampled and measured by wetland classes, and the average values ...
-
(1984)A laboratory approach to quantify food preferences in penaeid shrimp is developed in this study. Direct visual observations from beneath the experimental tanks provided accurate data with which to assess relative attractivity ...
-
(1984)A steady state transonic airfoil analysis code has been modified to include the presence of a vortex near the airfoil. The objective was to provide quasi-steady analysis of blade/vortex interaction for studying or predicting ...
-
(1982)In May of ‘82 I plan to receive a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Design. There are several directions which I may take from that point onward as to the choice of a career. One available option which appeals very much ...
-
(1982)The last decade has witnessed a 665% increase in licenses sold to fur trappers in Texas. In 1976-77, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department initiated a program of sending questionnaires to a randomly selected sample of ...
-
(1982)Numerous gardening publications report that the companion planting of various herbs among vegetable crops repels insects from the garden, thereby reducing insect damage considerably. An experiment was conducted to test the ...
-
(1976)This study was an attempt to reproduce the field variations observed during a particular polar magnetic substorm by a simple model current system. A line current model consisting of flow down field lines, along auroral ...
-
(1990)A test run of a new 4π neutron detector has been performed, studying the collisions of 30 Mev/u ¹⁴N with ¹⁰⁹Ag and ⁶⁰Ni. Average neutron multiplicities of the two reactions were determined after correction for background ...
-
(1990)The purpose of this paper is to report on tests of properties of selected fiber materials and scintillation oils for their use in a liquid scintillating fiber calorimeter at the Superconducting Super Collider (SSC). The ...
-
(1995)Throughout history, mankind has always depended on the "scapegoat". In surveying the mythology of the past, Sir James George Frazer identifies and traces numerous instances of the paradigm. Moreover, Western thought and ...
-
(1986)One of the problems associated with the quantitative analysis of respiratory sound data has been interference due to the presence of heart sounds. In the past, heart sounds have typically been filtered using cutoff frequencies ...
-
(1979)This study investigated teacher opinions of the Direct Instruction Systems for Teaching Arithmetic and Reading (Distar Reading only) when used in elementary special education classrooms. A survey was sent to 116 special ...
-
(1979)A study of the effects of methanol and water on the friability of lignite was made in an effort to quantify the extent of the effects and compare the utility of the two liquids. The friability of the lignite will be an ...
-
(1980)A study was made to determine the effect of an electrolyte, namely sodium chloride(NaCl), on the apparent viscosity of coal suspensions in water. This required a fundamental study of the behavior of the second electro-viscous ...
