Minimum cost air pollution control for cotton gins
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
With the implementation of the 1990 Federal Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA), State Air Pollution Regulatory Agencies (SAPRA's) are regulating agricultural operations across the U.S. more vigorously. Some of these agricultural ...
Delineation of management units and integration of crop simulation into a precision farming GIS environment
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Precision farming is a method used to track field variability in order to optimize site specific treatments. There are many tools used by precision farmers to help them identify the variability and where it exists. In most ...
Price forecasting for U.S. cattle feeders: which technique to apply?
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The price uncertainty associated with cattle feeding is the catalyst of a volatile economic environment that has exposed U.S. cattle feeders to increased risk levels, thus increasing a need for more accurate price forecasting ...
Dispersion modeling for prediction of emission factors for cattle feedyards
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Upon implementation of the Federal Clean Air Act and with the anticipated increase in resources of state air pollution regulatory agencies, regulation of air quality will expand to agricultural production and processing ...
Engineering and economic impacts of prohibiting recombination recirculation dust at export elevators
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The objectives of this research were to develop engineering descriptions of dust control systems currently being used in grain export facilities, to determine the retrofit requirements of the dust control and handling ...
Development of elastography as a non-invasive method for hard spots detection of packaged beef rations
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
A system of finite element modeling combined with graphics. elastogram generation was used to study the detection of hard spots in beef rations. Finite element was used to model the structural deformation of beef steaks ...
Development of a deterministic and stochastic computer model for phosphorus retention in a surface flow wetland system
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Constructed and natural wetlands have been used to treat wastewater from both point and nonjoint sources. Phosphorus concentration in receiving waters is a concern due to the contribution of phosphorus to lake eutrophication ...
Field studies of virus transport in a heterogeneous sandy aquifer
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Ground water withdrawals in the United States make up roughly one-fifth of the total water use in the United States. For this reason, it is one of our most important resources which must be, protected from contamination. ...
Methodology to quantify the effects of poultry litter application on surface water quality
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
The overall focus of this research work was to crographics. evaluate the potential dissolved phosphorus loading to Bayou Lake D'Arbonne from various soils within the watershed. The Lake D'Arbonne watershed is located in ...
Design and testing of a non-intrusive torque measurement system
(Texas A&M University, 1998)
This thesis details the initial development of a non-intrusive torque measurement system to measure torque in a rotating driveshaft like those commonly found on internal combustion engine powered irrigation pumping plants. ...
