Annual wood increment of slash pine (Pinus elliottii Engelm.) in relation to soil water deficits in East Texas
(1977)
The relationship of annual height, radial and volume increment to phenologically selected water deficits were tested and examined for consistency across a climatic gradient in East Texas. Increments were determined by stem ...
The influence of prescribed burning on nutrition in white-tailed deer on the coastal plain of Texas
(1977)
An isolated area of approximately 2,025 ha of thicketized live oak (Quercus virginiana) savannah was experimentally burned during a 2-year study on the Texas Coastal Plain. Two fall burns (October 1974 and 1975) and a ...
Factors affecting the successful culture of Penaeus stylirostris and Penaeus vannamei at an estuarine power plant site : temperature, salinity, inherent growth variability, damselfly nymph predation, population density and distribution, and polyculture
(1983)
Laboratory and pond research was conducted at a power plant site near the inner end of Galveston Bay, Texas. Of tested salinity levels, 25 ('o)/oo was found the best for both species to resist high lethal temperatures and ...
Hydrologic interrelationships with vegetation and soil as affected by selected livestock grazing systems and climate on the Edwards Plateau
(1985)
The effects of grazing systems and climate on rangeland hydrology, soil and vegetation were assessed over a six year period at the Texas Agricultural Research Station, located 56 km southwest of Sonora on the Edwards ...
An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction
(1985)
Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
Factors influencing the population dynamics of brown soft scale, Coccus hesperidum L. in South Texas
(1983)
The brown soft scale in South Texas is usually controlled by a complex of parasites. Observations made over a ten year period showed that the scale was disrupted by drift of ethyl and methyl parathion from applications ...
Interpond and intrapond variation in populations of periphytic cladoceran microcrustacea
(1983)
Periphytic cladoceran microcrustacea were collected from submerged parts of the sprawling emergent plant Ludwigia peploides (Onagraceae) in four ponds in Brazos County, Texas, on 52 dates from 23 February 1981 through 12 ...
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. ...
