Effects of Training upon Cervical Muscle Strength and Endurance and Upon Electromyographic Potentials
(1984)
A qualitative evaluation was made concerning the effectiveness of a progressive resistance training program upon increasing the endurance capabilities of the muscles in the neck region. In order to minimize the effects of ...
Function in Four Architects: The Changing Attitudes
(1984)
This thesis describes several of the aspects of the relationships of Function in Architecture. It includes the inference of four individual architects and the use of function in their respective works. The report summarizes ...
Mathematical Model of Predator-Prey System with Age Structure
(1984)
This paper considers models of physical phenomena, in particular models from population dynamics. The main model of concern is a combination of two previously developed models: the model of non-linear age dependent population ...
A Quasi-Steady Model of Blade/Vortex Interaction
(1984)
A steady state transonic airfoil analysis code has been modified to include the presence of a vortex near the airfoil. The objective was to provide quasi-steady analysis of blade/vortex interaction for studying or predicting ...
Roswitha: Reflector or Leader of Her Times
(1984)
Almost a thousand years ago at Grandershein, an abbey in Medieval Germany, a woman lived under the monastic rule of this Benedictine-like abbey. This woman functioned as most of her contemporaries in the abbey. She learned ...
Improvements of User Control in QUASI: A Computer Program
(1984)
In early April of 1984, a project to add computer graphics to the QUASI computer simulation system was completed and implemented at Texas A & M University. QUASI is a system that can be used in several engineering fields ...
A Quantitative Study of Food Preferences in Penaeid Shrimp
(1984)
A laboratory approach to quantify food preferences in penaeid shrimp is developed in this study. Direct visual observations from beneath the experimental tanks provided accurate data with which to assess relative attractivity ...
User Needs: Dimensioning the Environment for People
(1984)
"Architecture is an instrument whose central function is to intervene in man's favor. The building-and by extension, the city-has the function of lightening the stress of life, or taking the raw environmental load off of ...
Digital Speech Compression Using Vector Quantization
(1984)
A vector quantization technique called hybrid vector quantization which uses both scalar DPCM as well as pyramid vector quantization is developed. A linear transformation is used to decorrelate the input vectors. It is ...
The Necessity of an Adequate Duneline to Overall Barrier Island Beach Stability
(1984)
As can be seen from the extremeness of their property values, barrier island beaches are of the rarest and most desired of all recreational lands. Of equal or greater importance is how perfectly these beaches serve as ...
