Feeding ecology of subadult green sea turtles in south Texas waters
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Feeding ecology of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) at South Padre Island, Texas was characterized from April 1991- March 1993. Ninety turtle captures in entanglement and cast-nets were comprised of 24 individuals from ...
The dual-task methodology and assessing the attentional demands of ambulation with walkers
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Purpose Of this study was threefold: (1) to provide an examination Of the attentional demands of ambulating with two commonly prescribed walking aids (a standard Walker and a rolling walker) in a non-patient Population,, ...
The use of management science techniques to improve decision making in poultry processing facilities
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The growth of the poultry industry into a major meat producing agribusiness has caused poultry processing facilities to evolve into major complexes that rely increasingly on machinery to process mass numbers of chicken ...
Quantification of in situ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation at a petroleum contaminated site
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A major difficulty in applying bioremediation to field sites is the quantification ofin situ bioremediation. This study is based on the hypothesis that molecular markers can be used to quantify in situ biodegradation. By ...
Development of a three-dimensional particle image velocimetry algorithm and analysis of synthetic and experimental flows in three-dimensions
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study concerns with the development of a simple three-dimensional technique to determine the velocity of fluid by tracing the motion of seeded particles in a flow in three-dimensions. A correction for light refraction ...
Analysis of the breakthrough of diisocyanates from a generated aerosol using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Method number 42
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
When sampling for isocyanates utilizing OSHA methodology, a glass fiber filter coated with I-(2-pyridyl)piperazine is used for collection. For OSHA Method 42 which is used for 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, ...
The effect of injection hole geometry on flat plate film cooling and heat transfer
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Larvae of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L) were bioassayed with a leaf-dip technique for susceptibility to formulated permethrin and methamidophos at four temperatures (10, 20, 25, and 350C) . Permethrin ...
Design of structured vector quantizers for diversity communication systems
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
In this study we develop techniques for transmitting information over multiple channels. Improvements are made over available systems which use scalar quantization. The main contribution is in the application of a fixed ...
Digestive utilization of different sources of supplemental protein by heifers grazing bermudagrass
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Supplementation of protein to calves grazing actively growing pastures has been shown to increase animal performance. The role of protein supplementation is to stimulate: 1) forage intake and digestibility, 2) microbial ...
Firmness and cell wall characteristics of pasteurized jalapeno pepper rings affected by acetic acid, calcium chloride and preheating
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Consumption of jalapeno peppers has increased due to the great popularity of Mexican style foods. Fresh jalapenos are noted for their unique flavor, heat and crisp texture. Unfortunately, fresh peppers lose their crisp ...
