-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to conduct a qualitative case study of new and returning foreign students' and second language teachers' beliefs and attitudes toward English as a second language learning and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1989)The focus of this work is to derive functional and graphical statistical techniques for the two sample problem suitable for implementation in modern computing environments. In the two sample problem, it is desired to test ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The problem of sequence estimation and synchronization from nonsynchronized samples is studied both for the Gaussian and Poisson channels. For the Poisson channel, a receiver that performs jointly sequence estimation and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Exploratory in nature, this study was conducted in response to the increased problems that African American males are experiencing in their educational pursuits. The child development literature suggests a differential ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)A unified scheme is developed to demonstrate the necessity of a synergistic approach using several mass spectrometry methods for characterization and identification of water soluble organics in heavy oil retort. Elements ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)An established message reported by behavioral scientists, who have conducted industrial research, is that performance can be enhanced through the use of goal setting. Locke, Shaw, Saari, and Latham (1981) reported, "The ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)A heat transfer study from rotating two-pass ducts is presented. A rotating two-pass duct simulates the conditions in a serpentine coolant passage of a turbine blade. This work is mostly experimental with support from ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Decreasing yield of crops grown in soils of the Mbo Plain has been attributed to deficiencies of soil P. The objectives of this study were to classify these soils using the United States Soil Taxonomy System and to determine ...

Variability and predictability of the surface temperature field on a zonally symmetric land planet (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)An information approach to the study of climate predictability is introduced. This approach uses various information measures based on entropy to define the limits of predictability and to quantify the information given ...
