(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The purpose of this study was to 1) describe and evaluate the physical capabilities and personal factors of a mature workforce, 2) to determine the relationship between identified risk factors and musculoskeletal morbidity ...
Toward Better Homes and Gardens: the role of media and advertising in creation of a middle class cultural landscape in 1920s America
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
This study examines the role that printed media, specifically the home and garden magazine, and advertising played in the establishment of a new, suburban middle-class cultural landscape in 1920s America. The basis for ...
Optimization of ingestion of spray-applied poultry biologics by modification of environmental conditions at the time of application
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Spray application offers low cost and efficient rographics. application of biologics and reduced concerns regarding diverse water quality and medicator/proportioner function. Presently, we evaluated the effect of selected ...
Comparison of decontamination methods to reduce microbial levels in fresh beef trimmings
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Beef trimmings from either young or mature beef rographics. animals were obtained commercially. Trimmings were randomly assigned to one of three treatments (control; 950C hot water; and 950C hot water plus 2% L-lactic acid ...
Application of smoothing algorithms to enhance quality of 3D reconstructed images in tissues and cultures
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Visualization of scientific data plays an ever increasingly vital role in the study of humans, plants, animals, and the world around us. An integral part of that visualization and what makes it possible is the use of ...
Optimization of a rapid microbiological method for the assessment of lysine bioavailability of animal feed proteins
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Achieving nutritional requirements can be a difficult hics. task with the wide variety of protein sources utilized in the feed industry. Assessing the biological availability of amino acids in protein sources rapidly is ...
A survey of David Lewis's theory of counterfactuals: resolved difficulties and resilient obstacles
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
David Lewis [1973b] offers a possible worlds approach to a theory of counterfactuals. He attempts to specify necessary and sufficient conditions according to which a given counterfactual is true or false. My profit surveys ...
Fatigue analysis of stringer to floor beam connections in through plate girder and through truss railroad bridges
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The objective of this thesis is to determine fatigue stresses in the stringer to floor beam connections of through plate girder (TPG) and through truss (TT) bridges in order to predict failure. Field observations by the ...
A simulation study of a Subsea Mudlift Drilling system during tripping operations
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
To face the new challenges that the petroleum industry has in deepwaters, a Subsea Mudlift Drilling Joint Industry Project, SMDJIP, was formed. The main task for this project is to develop the technology needed to drill ...
Bloom, fruit development, and embryo development of peaches in a mild-winter region, and use of percent dry weight of ovule as a maturity index
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Bloom and fruit development patterns, stratification-germination data, and temperature data were examined for a 15-year period of the Texas A&M University Stone Fruit Breeding Program. Additionally, dry weight accumulation ...
