Summer fish assemblages in channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
I used a conceptual model proposed by Schlosser (1987) to compare channelized and unchannelized reaches of the South Sulphur River, Texas. This model suggests that fish assemblage structure can be predicted based on the ...
A microphysical and dynamical comparison of the observed and simulated structure of a Florida area thunderstorm
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
An evaluation of the COMMAS (COllaborative Model for Multiscale Atmospheric Simulation) model's ability to simulate the dynamics and microphysics of a multicellular storm was conducted using data from the 19 September storm ...
Fatal injuries among Hispanic construction workers
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in the United States and make up a large portion of the construction industry. This study was conducted to determine if Hispanic construction workers are injured at a higher ...
The isolation and characterization of a peptide synthetase gene from Trichoderma virens
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The filamentous fungus Trichoderma has a long history of biological control, protecting numerous plant species against a broad spectrum of soilborne pathogens. Additionally, many species are significant sources of industrial ...
An analysis of agricultural education faculty compensation systems
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The American Federation of Teachers (2001) noted that to ensure all students are successful, teacher salaries must be commensurate with teacher performance. Studies, however, have shown this is not occurring. In order ...
The evaluation of Cooper ratings for in-service timber railroad bridge stringers independent of the timber specie
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The objective of this thesis is to determine a method for assigning a rating to in-service timber railroad bridges. The standard method of rating a railroad bridge is to assign a Cooper E rating which corresponds to the ...
Development of a frequency doubled high powered laser diode end-pumped Nd:YVO₄/LBO laser
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The development of a high power solid state laser poses a serious non-trivial task. Several different elements combine to form this complex quantum device. Each of the elements of the laser receives sufficient description ...
Response of breeding seaside sparrows to fire on the upper Texas Coast
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Fire is one of the primary tools for managing coastal marshes in parts of the range of the Seaside Sparrow (Ammodramus maritimus). This study examined changes in Seaside Sparrow densities between breeding seasons following ...
The influence of vegetation on frost dynamics, infiltration rate and surface stability in Icelandic Andisolic rangelands
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Degradation of Icelandic rangelands characterized by Andisols has been extensive. The goal of this research was to assess the effect of contrasting land cover types on ecological factors believed to be important for the ...
Genetic characterization of red rice (Oryza sativa L.) and control in imidazolinone tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.)
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Red rice from the southern United States was collected and analyzed using Simple Sequence Length Polymorphism (SSLP) markers in an effort to test the assumption that red rice is Oryza sativa ssp. indica. The 18 markers ...
