A Comparison of Serum Vitamin A Levels From Three Collared Peccary (Tayassu tajacu) Herds in Texas (1984)The objectives of this study were to determine relative blood serum concentrations of vitamin A from 3 different herds of collared peccary (Tayassu tajacu), then evaluate the usefulness of serum vitamin A as a nutritional ...
-
(1980)Hypothalamic cannulae were implanted in four female Zebu crossbred calves. The cannula equipped calves were pre-fitted with a hypothalamic thermocouple and physiological measuring equipment then subjected to a hypertherm ...
-
(1983)Low output lasers have been increasing in usage in human and veterinary medicine, for these lasers have an analgesic action and a vasodilation action. They have been used successfully in the treatment of equine lamenesses ...
-
(1983)Sorghum has been shown to produce tortillas comparable to the traditional corn tortilla. Sorghum has been found to have a lower feed efficiency than corn. This study examined, for the first time, the nutritional quality ...
-
(1998)Bottom bracket failures have been one of the most common failures in the composite bicycle frames produced by the Trek Bicycle Corporation. The bottom bracket is the portion of the frame that supports the crank and pedals. ...
-
(1986)Cantrell has developed a very efficient algorithm using ParI's method for accurately calculating the generalized Q-function Qₘ(α,β). ParI's method using floating formats with the exponent larger than However; only values ...
-
(1993)A semi-autonomous computer-aided diagnosis system was developed to characterize the distinctions between malignant tumor types which are known to have general geometric and histological differences: stellate carcinomas and ...
-
(1993)Biomolecular visualization through interactive computer graphics has indeed revolutionized the x-ray crystallographic technique. As a result, an understanding of many important biological functions has been realized. The ...
-
(1985)Interactive computer graphics are shown to be an effective method for improving mental visualization skills. Computer-aided spatial skills improvment exercises (CASSIE) are developed at Texas A&M University to determine ...
-
(1980)This report discusses the applications of computers to technical communication, especially writing, and how those applications influence the educational needs of technical writers. A literature review illustrates the various ...
-
(1981)A computer code representing fluid flow is described which calculates the pressure gradient in the entry region of a rigid tube. The velocity profile is calculated from graphical correction of known flow equations. ...
-
(1981)This paper outlines the various models and methods used in solving the forward and inverse problems in electrocardioagraphy. Specifically, the development and implementation of a computer model which determines the body ...
-
(1984)This study involves the development of a simulation model for the analysis of possible investment alternatives. The model is written in Fortran programming language and employs the net present value method of analysis. A ...
-
(1989)Computer simulation of halos caused by ice crystal scattering provides a simple and accurate qualitative measure of the intensity distribution. To correctly calculate intensities, the effects of polarization must be ...
-
(1977)The performance of a flat plate solar water heater is predicted by a computer model. This model divides the collector and storage tanks into a finite number of sections and considers an energy balance over each section. ...
-
(1986)The purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of the “well-educated” person as theorized in the literature of the eighteenth-century , Novels and periodical essays by writers such as Henry Fielding, Samuel Johnson, ...
