Determining management training needs of health services managers
(1980)
The purpose of this study was to determine if managers in a health services setting would identify different management training needs (topics) for themselves than would experts in the field of health services management. ...
Modelling of insect populations under stochastic environments
(1980)
This dissertation introduces two advancements in the treatment of random components within insect pest population models. Part one of the dissertation develops a model for predicting the mean and variance of a population ...
Factors influencing the infectivity of oospores of Peronosclerospora sorghi (Weston & Uppal) C.G. Shaw
(1980)
The effect of soil moisture, soil temperature and soil pH on sorghum downy mildew (SDM) disease incidence (DI) was evaluated. In the field, when sorghum and maize hosts were planted at different dates during the cropping ...
An assessment of plant resistance to the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola, in selected lines of Sorghum bicolor
(1980)
During a 4-year period, plant resistance in sorghum to Contarinia sorghicola was studied. Experiments were conducted (1) to determine the relative level of resistance to the sorghum midge possessed by selected lines ...
Uniaxial and controlled-lateral strain tests on selected sedimentary rocks
(1980)
Cylindrical specimens of several sandstones, carbonates, and quartz-rich siltstones, exhibiting a wide range of porosities, are deformed in a computer-controlled hydraulic loading apparatus. They are loaded with axial ...
Local leadership control of small community growth/nongrowth
(1980)
The increasing scale of urban life suggests that the autonomy of small communities is lessened as verticalization and massification occurs. The processes of urbanization, industrialization, and bureaucratization which ...
Immunoassay of baculovirus structural polypeptides
(1980)
The study has demonstrated the feasibility of using Autographa californica multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (AcMNPV) and Heliothis zea single nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HzSNPV) structural polypeptides purified under ...
The effects of increased ambient temperature on dual task performance
(1980)
This dissertation reports on the effects of two levels of increased ambient temperature on the performance of a tracking task and a variety of secondary mental tasks. Eighteen males, ages 18 - 29, were exposed to wet bulb ...
Design language for interactive graphics applications systems
(1980)
The presented language is used for design and prototype implementation of application graphics systems. By usual methods it is not feasible to test a system in the user environment until near completion. Incorporation of ...
Measured light scattering matrices of single cubic particles
(1980)
The full sixteen element Mueller scattering matrix has been measured for several single NaCl cubic crystals. Each crystal, in the size range .7μ to 1.8μ, was electrostatically suspended in the beam of a 442 mm laser and ...
