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 ...
Image use in the characterization of field parameters: incorporation of remote sensing with hydrologic simulation modeling
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The incorporation of hydrologic/crop growth models and remote sensing could lead to the development of improved precision farming systems. This research focused on strategies for incorporating these two individual devices. ...

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 ...
Development of electronic nose for measurement of agricultural odors
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Many states have enacted stringent regulations to control the odor emissions from agricultural processes. A scentometer is used for measuring these emissions, but this method does not accurately characterize an odor in ...
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 ...
Withdrawal resistance of ring-shank nails embedded in Southern pine lumber
(Texas A&M University, 1996)
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 ...
