Nutritional components of forage-based food systems and their contribution to growth of juvenile crawfish (Procambarus clarkii)
(1990)
Commercial crawfish aquaculture in the United States presently depends primarily on a forage-based food system, with rice (Oryza sativa) being the major forage. More precise nutritional information about this forage-based ...
Factors limiting population size of the endangered Attwater's prairie chicken
(1994)
Factors limiting Attwater's prairie chicken (Tympanuchus cupido attwateri) numbers were investigated from 1991-93. The objectives of this study were to: (1) test accepted, yet untested, hypotheses regarding the influence ...
Perceptions of decision makers whose programs impact rural sector women in less developed countries
(1991)
The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of selected decision makers concerning gender issues related to international rural sector development programs. A survey questionnaire designed to answer ten ...
Organizational control and culture : a test of property rights theory
(1993)
This dissertation examined organizational control from a property rights perspective. The primary objective was to develop a framework which aligns technology, skills and organizational control, and test this framework. A ...
Genetic simulation of beef cattle production for growth and milk production
(1993)
The Texas A&M Beef Cattle Production model was expanded to include basic concepts of quantitative genetics. The traits simulated were birth weight, yearling weight, mature weight and milk production. In the original model ...
Multilevel codes for PSK signaling over the Rayleigh fading channel
(1992)
In this research we investigate the application of multilevel codes to the Rayleigh fading channel, the modulation form at being the MPSK constellation. The first part of the study reveals that effectively twice the diversity ...
A novel signal processing algorithm for FFPI and its sensor system application
(1994)
A novel digital signal processing algorithm using a pulse-modulated, fiber-optic Fabry-Perot sensor system with temperature as the measurand is devised and implemented. Measurement of change in temperature makes use of the ...
Polynomial near-rings, distributor and J2 ideals of generalized centralizer near-rings
(1993)
This work has three main parts. In the first section we define and develop some structure theory for a new near-ring which, for special oases, coincides with well-known polynomial ring theory results. In particular, we ...
Fiber-optic frequency shifter
(1993)
A new type of fiber-optic frequency shifter was studied theoretically and experimentally. It consists of a birefringent optical fiber embedded in an aluminum acoustic waveguide. Light with a wavelength of 1.3 μm enters ...
Aspects of the radial chemistry of the thiocarbonyl function and a new synthesis of olefins via Alpha-nitro-Beta-trithiothionocarbonates
(1995)
The dibenzofuran-based amino acid residue, 4-(2-arninoethyl)-6-dibenzofuranpropanoic acid (1), was studied to evaluate its efficacy in nucleating antiparallel,8-sheet structure in a series of thirteen residue peptides ...
