Inheritance of Parthenocarpy in the little leaf cucumber (Cucumis sativus, L.)
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The parthenocarpic trait in the little leaf cucumber was determined to be inherited by an incompletely dominant gene (P) . The early parthenocarpic class, genotype PP, generally produces five or more fruit beginning by the ...
The evaluation of micro-surfacing mixture design procedures and the effects of material variation on the test responses
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study examines statistically the repeatability of the International Slurry Surfacing Association (ISSA) mixture design tests by estimating the h and k consistency statistics for the test results obtained. An idea of ...
Characteristics of rural bank acquisitions: a logit analysis
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study evaluates acquisitions of rural banks by multi-bank holding companies. Evaluation of pre-acquisition characteristics including profitability, size, market concentration, and agricultural lending volume are the ...
Injection pressure falloff with flooded zone
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Hazebroek, Rainbow, and Matthews proposed a trial-and-error method to determine static reservoir pressure using pressure falloff data for three phases (oil, water, and gas). Using their method, we cannot determine the ...
Navasota river crossings in a selected area
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Crossings are an important part of the historical and cultural settlement patterns of Texas. The lack of information is significant because much of it has already been lost. Information about roads, trails, ferries, bridges ...
Studies in the biosynthesis of vitamin B12
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Pseudomonas denitrificans coba and the Salmonella typhimurium cbid genes were overexpressed in the heterologous E.coli system. The function of P.denitrificans coba gene product was identified as S-adenosyl methionine ...
Water flux and osmoregulatory physiology of the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The ability of West Indian manatees (T-richechus manatus latirostris and T. m. manatus) to inhabit both fresh water and marine habitats presents an interesting model to study the question of water flux and osmoregulation ...
Tryptophan biosynthesis by genetically engineered Escherichia coli utilizing different carbon sources
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The commercial production of L-uWtophan, an essential ainino acid for animal species and humans, depends largely on microbial processes due to drawback of chemical synthesis: the formation of a racemic mixture of DL-tryptophan. ...
Factors influencing career interest among majority and minority natural resource professionals in the southeastern United States
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In the Southeastern United States, a region with a culturally diverse population and legislative mandates to implement recruitment and retention programs in federal and state agencies, the field of natural resources is ...
Bacterial mutagenicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in reconstituted mixtures and crude coal tar extracts and fractions
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Although polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHS) are one of the most ubiquitous carcinogens in the environment, little is known regarding their potential mutagenic interactions. Risk assessment of complex PAH mixtures ...
