Changes in the potential for wind energy generation due to terrain modification of the boundary-layer flow
(1980)
In situ measurements and a wind tunnel experiment are used to define the degree of wind speedup in the boundary-layer flow over the top of a small mesa. Measurements of the speedup of the wind relative to that observed ...
Role conflict and ambiguity of agricultural extension agents
(1980)
The purpose of this study was to explore the potential utility of role theory in understanding organizational behavior phenomena and suggest administrative activities and practices that should reduce and/or maintain role ...
The neritic zooplankton of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico
(1980)
Copepod species and major groups of zooplankton were identified from 513 samples taken at 20 stations on 5 transects in the coastal waters of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Monthly samples, using oblique tows and a GULF ...
Synthesis and evaluation of the biological activity of analogues of pepstatin
(1980)
Synthesis of all four stereoisomers of the novel amino acid statine, 4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylhepatanoic acid, and alastatine, 4-amino-3-hydroxypentanoic acid has been accomplished. Several tripeptide analogues of pepstatin ...

(1980)
The primary purpose of this research was to determine the cost and impact to institutions of higher education in Texas when implementing and administering federally mandated social regulations. Preceding the development ...
A forecast of the critical tasks for educational placement officers in higher education at four year colleges and universities
(1980)
The purpose of the study was to identify the critical tasks of an educational placement officer for time periods, I (0-5 years) and II (10-20 years), and to prioritize these tasks based on consensus so that the highest ...
A cinematographical study of the relationship between speed of movement and available force
(1980)
The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effects of horizontal velocity and jumping technique (one or two foot take-off) on the development and application of vertical force. More specifically, it was the ...
Future time perspective and food habits of the aged
(1980)
The primary objective of this research was an exploration of the role of future time perspective in the choice of food use patterns or the maintenance of life-long food habits of a sample of people over sixty years old. A ...
Development of a soil moisture model for use with passive microwave remote sensors
(1980)
Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
The effect student teachers who have received communication skills training have on their classroon students' verbal behaviors
(1980)
The purpose of this study was to investigate 1) if student teachers' verbal behaviors change as a result of participation in a communication skills training program and 2) if classroom students' verbal behaviors change as ...
