-
(1980)With the growing shortages of natural energy resources, and their increasing costs, the need for utilizing the environment around us in our buildings is becoming more evident. To do this man must learn to understand the ...
-
(1977)Combinations of molasses, urea (NPN), Phosphoric acid and two levels of Red Blood Cell (RBC) concentrate were studied to determine their stability, animal acceptability and animal response. Lab. Test tubes and half gallon ...
-
(2012-04-18)In my previous thesis for the Undergraduate Research Scholars program I have calculated, both in terms of the scalar field and in terms of the cylinder kernel, the components of the stress-energy tensor of a quantized ...
-
(2007-07-14)We calculate the vacuum energy in quantum graphs. Vacuum energy arose in quantum physics but has an independent mathematical interest as a functional carrying information about the eigenvalue spectrum of a system. A quantum ...
-
(1985)I determined the accuracy and repeatability of electrofishing for estimating the proportional stock density (PSD) of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides). Three production ponds with known PSDs were electrofished at ...
-
(1977)The present study attempted to investigate a number of Soviet “PWD” Physical Fitness Tests in terms of their validity for describing the physical fitness levels of a sample population of Texas secondary school students. ...
-
(1983)Increasing nonconsumptive use of wildlife resources and a concern with the threats of extinction have resulted in development of techniques to value nonmarket natural resources. One such technique is contingent valuation, ...
-
(1977)The length of the menstrual and ovulatory cycle in women is notoriously variable. The frequency distribution of menstrual intervals for women and girls are both positively skewed. Researchers studying the rhythm or similar ...
-
(1991)In both experiments, naltrexone attenuated the baseline tail-flick latencies. This opioid analgesia maybe due to either restraint stress or a conditioned association between the context and the shock. In the first case, ...
-
(1979)Compressional-wave velocities were measured parallel and perpendicular to bedding in five Gulf Coast carbonate samples at atmospheric pressure. In general, the horizontal velocities exceeded the vertical velocities, with ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)The dominant American myth of selfhood is the "Protestant English pioneer," the conquering hero that pulled in the reigns on natives and wilderness. However, this heroic selfhood comes at an astonishing price. The ...
-
(1978)The cyclic imino thioether Δ²-thiazoline has been synthesized and characterized. The vibrational structure of the molecule has been studied in several phases by infrared and laser Raman spectroscopy. The spectra have been ...
-
(1995)In the near future the prospect of using CNN processors in conjunction with CCD video imagers is good. CCD's may soon have on-chip neural networks capable of performing quick and valuable processing of the image before it ...
-
(1991)This experiment should be sufficiently general in nature and to be applicable to a variety of specific experiments intended to study implementation issues associated with robust control theories/methodologies for systems ...
-
(1987)Stanley Kubrick occupies an unusual position among modern filmmakers in that, even though he is known as a uniquely personal film artist, most of his films are essentially adaptations of literature. Yet Kubrick succeeds ...
-
(1979)Visitors at the Admiral Nimitz Center in Fredericksburg, Texas were surveyed in July of 1978 to identify the ANC audience and to determine their satisfaction levels of the museum’s various interpretive media. Literature ...
-
(2006-08-16)Visual illustrations were critical to Tolkien's creativity—they preceded his creation of lexical texts, helped to define the world in which he set most of his literature, and continued to hold a great significance in the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2013-02-22)Visualization is the process of mapping numerical values onto perceptual dimensions. Visualization is a way to show results in a manner that is intuitive to humans. Pictures and animations presented properly can be easier ...
-
(1986)As a creator of the Navajo people and as a representative of change, the mythical figure of Changing Woman adequately represents the nature of the contemporary poetry of Native American women. These poets, influenced by ...
-
(1995)Due to incited interest in recent law suits against various racially gerrymandered majority-minority districts in North Carolina, Louisiana, and Texas there is a need to take a closer look into the matter. In this study ...
