Structural optimization utilizing approximated structural behavior
(1973)
This dissertation presents an investigation of the feasibility of using approximated structural behavior in the optimization of plane truss and plane frame structures. Design variables are limited to the cross-sectional ...
The evaluation of inorganic sulfur and sweet sorghum residues in poultry feed formulation
(1973)
New ingredients for poultry feed formulation were evaluated. The first study was undertaken to determine the performance of laying hens when fed inorganic sulfate, and to determine a possible sparing effect of inorganic ...
A computer programmer productivity prediction model
(1973)
A computer programmer productivity prediction model has been developed. This development was preceded by an investigation of the programmer productivity factors. The research was accomplished in three parts. To identify ...
The effect of ergogenic aids on selected physiological and motor skill parameters
(1973)
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of specific liquid ergogenic aids on performance. Performances after gatorade or coca cola was ingested were compared with performances when water was ingested. ...
The influence of light intensity on the calcium nutrition of cotton
(1973)
Cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivar Deltapine 16) were grown at various Ca concentrations (50, 100, 200, and 5,000 uM Ca/1) under different light intensities (6,000; 22,000, and 32,000 lux) to study the influence ...
Engineering geology study of the instability of the South Bosque Shale and the Del Rio Clay in the Waco area
(1973)
The fundamental cause of slope instability in the Waco area is the response of the local strata to natural and man-made disturbances. Most slope failures occur during or shortly after periods of heavy rainfall, where natural ...
The minimum infectious concentration of tobacco mosaic virus required to cause infection in a single cultured cell of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Samsun
(1973)
An average volume of 1.1 x 10⁻⁶ uliter of TMV suspension was microinjected into a single tobacco cells in culture using a glass capillary micro-needle. All cells produced virus crystals when injected with 620 to 2730 ...
Use of Rio Grande Plain brush types by white-tailed deer and analysis of influents
(1973)
The relative use of 11 major brush types and a rootplowed area by white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) was studied on the San Pedro Ranch in Dimmit County, Texas, using the pellet-group count technique. The hackberry ...
Effect of processing variables on quality of freeze-dried carrots
(1973)
The effects of processing variables such as freezing rate, freeze-drying rate, piece size and added sugar on quality of freeze-dried carrots were studied. Quality was measured in terms of rehydration ratio, waterholding ...
Inorganic and organic influences on carbonate cementation
(1973)
Models of subaerial and beachrock carbonate cementation environments have been simulated successfully in the laboratory and have proven to be an important tool in understanding cementation processes in the field. Decreases ...
