Assessing the effect of stocking density on fugitive PM10 emissions from cattle feedyards
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
As environmental protection becomes increasingly important in the mind of the public and urban sprawl brings agriculture into close contact with an unhappy populace, the regulation of agricultural operations has created a ...
Uniformity of wastewater dispersal using subsurface drip emitters
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
An on-site wastewater treatment project site with two separate drip fields produced data on emitter flow rates and uniformity after 6 years of operation. The site served a two-bedroom residence in Weslaco, Texas, with ...
Air dispersion modeling of particulate matter from ground-level area sources
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
State Air Pollution Regulatory Agencies (SAPRAs) often use dispersion modeling to predict downwind concentrations of particulate matter (PM) from a facility. As such, a facility may be granted or denied an operating permit ...
Impingement drying of potato chips
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Superheated steam impingement drying was used as an alternative technique to develop nutritious fat-free potato chips. The effect of superheated steam temperature (115, 130, and 145° C) and convective heat transfer coefficient ...
Geographic information system (GIS) and simulation model for management of irrigation districts
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
IDMM (Irrigation District Management Model), a user friendly, GIS based, menu driven personal computer software program, was developed as a planning and management tool for improved water use and crop growth production in ...
Leaching and standing water characteristics of bottom ash and composted manure blends
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Coal burning electrical generating facilities produce roughly 91 million metric tons of ash byproducts annually. Typically, this ash is retained at the power plant sites, adding to the cost of managing wastes at the plants. ...
Performance characteristics of PM₂₅̣ samplers in the presence of agricultural dusts
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The EPA revised the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) in 1997 to include a standard for fine particulates (PM₂₅̣), and was unanimously upheld by the US Supreme Court in February of 2001. The long-term standard ...
Application of ultrasonic techniques to evaluate the viscoelastic changes in masa
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
Knowledge of the viscoelastic properties of masa is important to quantify the effects of formulation on processing, to provide information on textural and organoleptic properties, and to improve product design. As the food ...
Mathematical modeling of impingement drying of corn tortillas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
A mathematical model of impingement drying of corn tortillas was developed based on governing equations for heat and mass transfer during the drying process. Mass transfer within the product was modeled as diffusion-driven ...
Changes in ecosystem services and runoff due to land use change in the watersheds of San Antonio, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2000)
The process of urbanization in San Antonio, Texas is resulting in transformation of land surfaces from rural to urban uses. This transformation could result in a loss of ecological services and also alter the hydrology of ...
