Optimal routing within large scale distributed computer-communications networks
(1978)
Much research has been devoted to developing efficient routing algorithms for data networks, particularly those referred to as packet switching, distributed networks. More recent developments have led to algorithms which ...
A propagation technique for rooting adult phase pecan, Carya Illinoensis (Wang) K. Koch, stem cuttings
(1978)
This study attempted to develop a technique for propagating adult phase cuttings as clonal rootstocks that could be used to produce trees capable of uniform growth and ion absorption. Both hardwood and semi-hardwood adult ...
The effects of daytime headlight operation and light colored clothing on motorists' perception of motorcycles
(1978)
This study was designed to ascertain if daytime motorcycle headlight operation and light colored wearing apparel of the motorcyclist had a significant effect upon the motorists' awareness of the motorcycle and motorcyclist. ...
The effect of environment on seed development in sorghum : (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
(1978)
Small Seed Syndrome (SSS) is a problem that plagues the sorghum breeder, producer, transporter, and processor. Small seed cause a reduction in yield, prices and feed efficiency due to decreases in weight, density, protein ...
Tissue culture propagation of the Cactaceae as influenced by plant growth regulators with scannning electron microscopy sequences of lateral meristems and spine initiation and development of Mammillaria elongata (Cactaceae)
(1978)
Tubercle, areole, and stem section explants of Mammillaria elongata, Opuntia polyacantha, Weberocereus biolleyi, and other cacti were cultured on a supplimented Murashige and Skoog high salts medium. Various concentrations ...
A lifting surface performance analysis with circulation coupled wake for advanced configuration hovering rotors
(1978)
The application of numerical lifting surface theory to the calculation of rotor hover performance is presented. Special techniques are developed to combine the lifting surface method with a conventional strip analysis to ...
Reproductive studies of Brahman cattle
(1978)
To determine if luteinizing hormone (LH) patterns were different between ovariectomized Brahman and Hereford cows, before and after 500 ug of GnRH, animals were bled at 15-min intervals for periods of 4 and 6 hr. Serum was ...
The transition-map-entered-variable (T-MEV) mapping technique for sequential machine design
(1978)
This dissertation proposes a new technique for sequential machine design. The technique combines the transition and map-entered-variable mapping technique into a completely alternate design procedure which simplifies the ...
The application of nonlinear programming to constrained maximum likelihood estimation
(1978)
A procedure is developed to solve constrained maximum likelihood estimation problems that arise in the determination of safe doses for suspected carcinogens. A change-of-variable transformation procedure is used to remove ...
Effect of electrical stimulation on quality-indicating, palatability and histological characteristics of beef
(1978)
A three-part study was conducted to determine the effect of electrical stimulation on the quality, palatability and histological characteristics of beef. Experiment 1 determined the effects of using various numbers of ...
