SO2 impacts on forage and soil sulfur concentrations near coal-fired power plants
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The goal of this research was to determine if S02 emissions from coal-fired power plants could be contributing to the copper deficiency in cattle. Copper deficiency in cattle can result from excessive sulfur intake which ...
Modeling of a continuous food process with neural networks
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Three neural networks were constructed and trained to provide both next step prediction and multi-step prediction of a snack food continuous frying operation. The three neural models were a feedforward sigmoidal network ...
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 ...
Engineering and economic analyses for cotton gin compliance with air pollution regulations
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The implementation of the Federal Clean Air Act (FCAA) amendments of 1990 have affected every source of air pollution in the U.S. including cotton gins. The goal of this project was to develop guidelines, that will help ...
Evaluation of functionality for whey protein concentrate with different ultrafiltration treatments
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
Production of whey protein concentrates has increased significantly in the United States in recent years. This may be attributed mainly to greater effort on the part of whey producers to abide by pollution regulations and ...
Validity of the WEPP model for predicting infiltration on irrigated lands
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The objective of this research was to establish the validity of the hydrologic component of the YVEPP erosion model for predicting infiltration on irrigated lands. WEPP uses the Green and Ampt equation with ponding to ...
Ultrasonic techniques for measuring rheological properties of rice slurries
(Texas A&M University, 1995)
The development of new sensors to monitor food quality is an emerging issue of today. Many food processing industries rely on batch methods to inspect food quality. These techniques yield results which are delayed in ...
