Evaluation of potential sources and mechanisms of Salmonella contamination of poultry
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The purpose of the following studies was to investigate the manner in which various factors, common to Poultry production, influence the contamination of Poultry by Salmonella. The extent of broiler farm environmental ...
Effect of film hole location on heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness of a gas turbine blade
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Experiments were performed to study the effect of film hole location on local heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness distributions of a turbine blade model with air (D.R. = 1.0) and C02 (D.R. = 1.52) film injection. ...
A four-layer model for interpreting electrical conductivity measurements of clay soils near agricultural lagoons
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Three models were evaluated to determine their ability to predict pore water quality in the subsurface. The models interpret measurements of soil electrical conductivity taken with an electromagnetic meter. Three sites ...
Characterization of the viscoelastic properties of thin-film materials using dynamic-mechanical testing techniques
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
An investigation into the use of dynamic mechanical analysis to characterize the viscoelastic properties of thin film materials is presented. The methodology was investigated using polyethylene films used on high altitude ...
A neural network approach to the automated detection of acoustic annoyance in hard disk drives
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In order to increase efficiency, computing equipment in the office environment is increasing rapidly. However, the increase in efficiency is not optimized since the added equipment also brings added noise to the environment. ...
Correlation between leukotoxin production of Pasteurella haemolytica and bacterial culture conditions
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A study of the in vitro growth characteristics of Pasteurella haemolytica was undertaken to determine the effect of media composition and available oxygen on bacterial growth. The rate and total growth, and the production ...
Carl Vinson and pre-war naval legislation 1932-1940
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
At the end of World War I, the United States Navy was in the midst of a building program designed to make it a "Navy Second to None." However, the post-war desire to avoid involvement in another international conflict led ...
Biochemical regulation of circadian 2-125 I-iodomelatonin binding in chick optic tectum
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The avian optic tectum (Teo), a visual relay area, exhibits specific binding of 2-[1211]iodomelatonin (IMEL) in a circadian rhythmic fashion. Samples of Teo representing different circadian times (CTs) (CT2, CT6, CTIO, ...
Investigation of moisture effects on interfacial properties of an epoxy matrix composite by dynamic mechanical analysis
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The interfacial properties of polymer matrix composites are critical to the retention of the mechanical properties of the composites in a wet environment. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of moisture ...
Gene structure and regulation of cryparin, a hydrophobin of the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Cryphonectria parasitica is a filamentous fungus that causes a disease in chestnut trees called chestnut blight. Hypovirulence and decreased sporulation by the fungus are caused by the presence of a unique double-stranded ...
