(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Trawl collections were taken from June 1974 to September 1975 to determine the abundance and distribution of fishes in the canal system of the Houston Lighting & Power P.H. Robinson Generating Station with emphasis on ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Planning for the secondary impacts of airport development is a complex process which requires the involvement of agencies at all levels of government as well as private individuals. This dissertation evaluates the effectiveness ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This study was designed to examine the uptake and depuration of trace organic contaminants, e.g. poly nuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), including planar congeners, and butyltin species, ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Kuwait crude oil was subjected to a time series, laboratory simulation of biodegradation by incubation in nutrient enhanced seawater with a mixed culture of oil degrading microorganisms isolated from the Gulf of Mexico. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)An existing three-dimensional time-dependent circulation model was adapted to investigate the circulation in the South Shetland Islands - Bransfield Strait region. The simulated circulation distributions show seasonal ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1976)Water resources development in Texas is primarily of two types, channelization and surface impoundments. Effects of these types of projects are discussed in terms of environmental effects in Texas. With this background, ...
-
The continuum regime charging of submicrometer particles by bipolar air ions : theory and experiment (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A study was undertaken to characterize experimentally the continuum regime charging of aerosols by bipolar gaseous ions and to evaluate theoretical models for the charging process. Experiments were conducted on monodisperse ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Surface strip mining is currently the fastest way to recover lignite and bituminous coal. The strip mining results in the disturbance of large acreages of land. However, specific management of the spoils is required to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Use of contaminant transport models to predict the potential for ground-water pollution at waste disposal sites has been hindered by lack of methods to determine dispersion parameters. As an aid to overcome this difficulty, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The major hydrocarbon constituents that often contaminate groundwater resources from oil and petroleum product spills are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylenes (BTEX). Benzene is the most toxic and most mobile ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The effect of disturbance on vegetation in a variably stressed environment is examined in seven sites along the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Brazoria County, Texas. The relationship of spoil deposition to vegetation is ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The results of laboratory tests indicated diapausing Psorophora columbiae eggs were more tolerant to the low temperatures used (8° to -6°C) than were non-diapausing eggs, particularly at temperatures equal to and below ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)The effects of ten used drilling muds on coral health have been examined by monitoring changes in calcification rate and soluble tissue protein in the coral Acropora cervicornis. Exposure to 25-ppm (v/v) of one mud for 24 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Five salt water cooling towers recently constructed near Galveston Bay, Texas have been shown to contribute to salt deposition in the surrounding area. Levels as high as 1200 kg salt/ha/yr were encountered within 100 m of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)The impact of the Cedar Bayou Electric Generating Station upon fishes and macrocrustaceans in the intake area, discharge canal, and cooling lake during 1972-1979 was evaluated. Data used to determine relative abundance, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Maintenance and new work dredging of existing waterways and navigational channels is vital to the Nation's economy. Cutterhead dredges share the major burden of dredging in the United States. The sediments in the waterways ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Platycerium coronarium and P. superbum spores responded to 26(DEGREES)C on a thermogradient with greatest germination percentages. The same temperature was also optimum for gametophytic surface area increase and juvenile ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Prior research has shown that an aversive event can produce either an increase (hyperalgesia) or a decrease in pain reactivity (hypoalgesia). Researchers have extensively examined both the behavioral and neurobiological ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The deficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus in mixed overburden mine spoils has resulted in interest in strategies to minimize fertilizer application. In this study, the abundance of microbial populations, with emphasis on ...
