Total factor productivity in Mexican manufacturing : an analysis of the sources of growth, 1975-85 (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This study provides an analysis of the effects of Mexico's industrial development policies on the structure and productivity of its manufacturing base between 1975 and 1985. Because virtually every aspect of the economy ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The expression and modulation of myometrial gap junctions remain poorly understood. However, the availability of new molecular and biochemical tools including cDNAs and antipeptide antibodies permits extensive characterization ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)General results in the theory of Hankel operators are described first. Hankel approximation in special situations is investigated from the geometric point of view, and the AAK theory on Hankel operators on the unit disc ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)To date there exists no deep water record of a major tsunami from a benthic pressure gauge. Such deep water records and their spectra are desirable as a means of characterizing the tsunami source. The closest thing to such ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)An adaptive hybrid learning procedure is proposed for change detection and on-line identification of nonstationary manufacturing processes. Sequential measurements in manufacturing systems and on-line measured signals in ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Campoletis sonorensis is an ichneumonid endoparasitoid of Heliothis virescens larvae. The polydnavirus which occurs in the reproductive tract of C. sonorensis (CsV) has several effects on the host independent of the presence ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Detecting changes in the mean of a stochastic process is important in, for example, quality control problems. We develop powerful tests for the null hypothesis that the underlying mean is constant against very general ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Anodization of a heavily doped silicon wafer followed by oxidation can build a structure of an insulated layer with vertical voids on the substrate. When a positive potential is applied on the top of the insulating layer, ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The Great Lakes are surrounded by heavily industrialized regions. High frequency of hepatocellular neoplasm in fish has been found. This study was undertaken to assess the environmental contamination by analyzing polycyclic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Cucurbits are moderately sensitive to salinity stress. Experiments were done to examine the physiological effects of NaCl on the growth and development of cucumber leaves and roots. Sodium chloride shock caused an inhibition ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The 3' termini of the three genomic RNAs of BMV contain cis-acting elements essential for the promotion of (-)-strand synthesis. To understand the biological significance of the maintenance of specific base differences in ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Ingersoll (1977a) and Brennan and Schwartz (1977) show that, in perfect markets, managers maximize common stockholders' wealth by calling a convertible security as soon as its conversion value exceeds its call price. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A bulk-flow thermohydrodynamic (THD) analysis is developed for accurate predictions of the static and dynamic performance characteristics of turbulent flow product-lubricated hydrostatic journal bearings (HJBs). Pointwise ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)This pre-post comparison study was conducted at a two-year institution with a sample of 93 first year nursing students. Different group sizes were used with interactive video instruction (IVI) in a curriculum unit on nursing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Electromagnetic lepton pair production is studied in an ab initio approach with no free parameters. A semi-classical approximation to the relative motion of the two incident particles is made and the resulting second-order ...
