This naturalistic study focused on the perceptions of leadership and student performance in science from campus leaders in three purposefully selected secondary campuses of ninth through twelfth grades. Each school had ...
Dynamics of water use and responses to herbivory in the invasive reed, Arundo donax (L.)
(2010-07-14)
The first objective of this study was to investigate the role of an invasive grass
species, Arundo donax (L.), on the hydrologic cycle. At a site on the Rio Grande in
South Texas, we measured the gas exchange of carbon ...
Creating a Systems Engineering Approach for the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(2010-07-14)
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) establishes the basic principles for the design, selection, installation, operation, maintenance, and removal of traffic control devices (TCDs). The MUTCD indicates ...

Effects of Microbial Litter Amendments on Broiler Performance, Litter Quality and Ammonia Production
(2011-02-22)
The reuse of litter in broiler production can lead to litter pathogen buildup and high levels of ammonia in broiler housing, thus resulting in poor broiler performance. This study evaluated the effects of two microbial ...
Tearable Cloth
(2010-01-16)
This document proposes modifications to an established cloth simulation algorithm to
allow for stretch deformation and tearing of simulated cloth in computer-generated
imagery. Previous research is presented, followed by ...
