Evaluation of fly ash-surfaced pens as a control for fugitive dust emissions from beef cattle feedyards
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Increased emphasis on environmental quality has focused attention on the environmental impacts of agricultural operations. For years, beef cattle feedyards have been under pressure to manage and reduce fugitive dust ...
Phosphorus water quality model evaluation and comparison for natural and constructed wetlands
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
Constructed and natural wetlands have been used to treat wastewater from both point and nonpoint sources. Phosphorus concentrations in receiving waters are a prime concern due to the role phosphorus plays in freshwater ...
A continuous ultrasonic scanner for lumber grading
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
The goal of this research was to improve mechanical stress grading technology through more accurate lumber strength and stiffness predictions. Specific objectives are: 1) develop a prototype ultrasonic lumber scanning ...
Analysis of the physical and mechanical properties of the pine nut as criteria in the design of a pine nut shelter
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
Among the hundred species of pines, a third are classified as soft pines, Largely on the basis of wood and leaf anatomy. Eleven species of soft pine make up the group known variously as the pinon, pinyon, or North American ...

The overall goal of this research was to was to gain a better understanding of ringshank nail connections, and to critically evaluate allowable design values for withdrawal. Specific goals ]Included: 1) measuring and ...
Stresses resulting from compression of bulk cotton lint fibers
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The modulus of elasticity, Poisson's ratio and shear modulus of bulk cotton lint fibers were determined. The cotton lint was compressed in an MTS machine to a predetermined density, and the resilient forces induced by the ...

Probabilistic Risk Assessment for dairy waste management systems
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) techniques were used to evaluate the risk of contamination of surface and ground water with wastewater from an open lot dairy in Erath County, Texas. The dairy supported a complex waste ...
Deep fat frying of tortilla chips: an integrated approach
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Tortilla chips were prepared from commercial nixtamilized dry masa flour. They were baked and then fried in fresh and used partially hydrogenated soybean oil for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 45 and 60 seconds at 1500C and 1900C. ...
