Application of a beef cattle production model to the evaluation of genetic selection criteria
(1977)
A model was developed for simulating beef cattle production under a wide range of management achemes and environments with a wide range of cattle genotypes for size, growth, and milk production. Genotypes are specified as ...
A comparative analysis of a competency-based driver education program versus a four-phase driver education program
(1977)
Within the last century, the manner in which man has traveled from one place to another has changed greatly. The driving task and the number of vehicles used in the driving environment has become increasingly more complex ...
The impact of environmental controls and taxes on mining
(1977)
This dissertation is an attempt to determine the economic impact of tax changes and the introduction of environmental controls on mineral extracting industries. The theory developed is applicable to any mineral extracting ...
Leadership and language : rhetor-linguistics for manager-leader development
(1977)
Leadership and its development are examined in terms of their integral language features. These language features are identified as an essential key to more efficient leadership training. As an interdisciplinary undertaking, ...
A systems model of the tourist's destination selection decision process with particular reference to the role of image and perceived constraints
(1977)
A model of the tourist's destination selection decision process was developed and evaluated. Data were collected through in-depth personal interviews using a non-scheduled instrument and five semantic differential scale ...
The effect of acute salinity stress on the activity of key enzymes of the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica Gmelin
(1977)
The enzymatic response of individual tissues are variable for acute salinity stress. Adductor muscle in all cases exhibited a predominant anaerobic pathway, but concomittant activity of enzymes such as GDH and GOT associated ...
The activation by copper of chick aortic lysyl oxidase
(1977)
An in vitro method is described which was designed to study the activation by copper of lysyl oxidase in aortas from 10 day copper deficient chicks. The optimum conditions for the activation by copper of lysyl oxidase were ...
Psychological characteristics of the underachiever : a vocational approach
(1977)
This study investigated the ability of the Occupational Interest Inventory (OII) and Holland's constructs of congruence, consistency, and differentiation to predict the academic achievement of college freshmen. Subjects, ...
Protein crystallography : new approaches to X-ray data collection, direct space refinement and model building
(1977)
This crystallographic study was designed to develop and test efficient techniques of X-ray data collection, phase extension and refinement, and model building capable of giving a reliable description of macromolecules in ...
Cosmic ray produced noble gases in mesosiderite meteorites
(1977)
Mass spectrometric analyses of the noble gas isotopes were performed on the mesosiderites, Clover Springs, Crab Orchard, Patwar, and Hainholtz with comparative analyses also conducted on the achondrites, Binda and Pavlovka. ...
