Pollen analysis of late 1800 privy deposits from Houston, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Forty-nine soil samples from five nineteenth-century privy features in downtown Houston were examined for pollen. It was hoped that analysis of these samples would reveal information concerning the diet and health of ...
A method for interpreting continental and analytic epistemology
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Current investigations in epistemology tend to follow either the continental or the analytic school of thought. These schools of thought have different goals for epistemology and different procedures for achieving these ...

Contact with dogs, canine distemper virus, and multiple sclerosis
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
A case-control study of 28 multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and 23 other neurological disease (OND) controls matched on age, sex, and clinic location, was conducted to evaluate the possible effects of selected viral ...
Evaluation of glufosinate for the control of red rice (Oryza sativa) in commercial rice (Oryza sativa)
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Research was conducted in 1996 and 1997 to 1) evaluate weed management systems in transferrin 'Gulfmont' rice with glufosinate, 2) evaluate the tolerance of selected red rice ecotypes to glufosinate at different application ...
The effects of eccentric training on muscle-bone function
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
The purpose of this study was to determine if eccentric exercise training can attenuate or prevent bone loss associated with estrogen-deficiency in the mouse model. A secondary purpose was to determine if any bone changes ...
Structure and evolution of the active fold and thrust belt of southwestern Taiwan using GPS geodesy

(Texas A&M University, 1999)
In order to better understand the mechanisms that graphics. enable Escherichia coli to survive periods of starvation and then resume growth upon addition of nutrients, different aspects of starvation and recovery have been ...
Application of the Multiphase Particle-In-Cell (MP-PIC) method to sedimentation of a polydisperse suspension
(Texas A&M University, 1999)
Analytical and computational methods have been used to predict the sedimentation velocity of multisized spherically shape particles in binary and tertiary suspensions. Six previously published experimental data were used ...
