Academic register : the voice of authority
(1994)
College students' acquisition of "academic discourse" has been the focus of a long-standing debate in composition studies. Despite much critical attention, academic discourse is still an enigma. Yet many theorists contend ...
Blood group polymorphisms and production and type traits in dairy cattle : after forty years of research
(1994)
Inconsistencies across studies and analytical designs emphasize a problem inadequately addressed in most recent theoretical studies on QTL detection and MAS: that posed by the intrinsic non-additivity of genetic/biological ...
Water-depth and salinity relationships to vegetation dynamics in a Texas coastal marsh : a simulation approach
(1994)
Distribution of coastal marsh plants has been attributed to varying water depths and salinities. Relationships of water depth and salinity to live, above-ground biomass dynamics of Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass), ...
Evaluation of a bilingual video-novella method to teach elderly Mexicn American non-readers how to decrease their risk of diabetic complications
(1994)
Complications of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) are the primary cause of death of Mexican Americans over age 40 in Texas. In Texas, 51.2% of Hispanics have eight or fewer years of school. Many are functionally ...
Structure-activity relationships of aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor ligands : mechanistic studies
(1994)
Studies of structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed that many of the responses elicited by halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons (HAHs) are mediated through the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor(AhR). In addition, SARs ...
Molecular studies of Monosporascus spp. : applications in diagnostics, taxonomy, population biology, and control
(1994)
The internal transcribed spacer regions of the ribosomal DNA repeat unit in representative isolates of Monosporascus cannonballus and M. eutypoides were amplified by PCR and sequenced. The PCR-amplified ITS regions of 13 ...
"To dream reality" : the reification of History in the novels of Ariel Dorfman
(1994)
This dissertation analyzes Ariel Dorfman's concept of "dream reality" and applies his theory to his four novels: Widows, The Last Song of Manuel Sendero, Mascara, and Hard Rain. Dream reality, the dynamic balance between ...
Fiber optic intrusion sensor investigation
(1994)
A novel type of fiber optic intrusion sensor has been proposed and investigated theoretically and experimentally. The sensor is configured as a coherent optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) with a highly coherent laser ...
Incorporation of line quantities in the continuum description for multiphase, multicomponent bodies
(1994)
In this thesis the continuum description for dynamic, multiphase, multicomponent systems with intersecting dividing surfaces, is developed. In this development, the contribution of line excess quantities (line mass density, ...
Mixed-signal processor for a Fabry-Perot interferometric fiber optic pressure sensor
(1994)
This dissertation presents the design and implementation of a novel mixed-signal processing method for recovering the pressure information obtained from a fiber optic Fabry-Perot interferometric sensor. The sensor is ...
