Texas Coastal Bend grain sorghum producers' fertilizer decisions under uncertainty
(1985)
Optimal (profit and utility maximizing) fertilizer levels are computed based on normative decision guides developed from experimental data on grain sorghum yield/fertilizer levels over an eight year (1977-1984) period, as ...
An investigation of hurricane-induced forerunner surge in the Gulf of Mexico
(1985)
A system of coupled, normal mode equations describing a two-layer ocean basin of variable depth was derived from the quasi-hydrostatic equations of motion using a general form of the method of Veronis and Stommel (1956). ...

Development and evaluation of aerosol delivery of antivirals for the treatment of equine virus - induced respiratory infections
(1985)
An aerosol delivery system incorporating the DeVilbiss ultrasonic nebulizer was developed for antiviral chemotherapy of equine viral respiratory infections. The system's delivery capabilities were proven effective by two ...
Geotechnical properties of Mississippi River delta sediments utilizing in situ pressure sampling techniques
(1985)
Rapid accumulation of organic-rich sediments and the subsequent anaerobic, biogenic decomposition of the organic material on the Mississippi River delta have led to sediment regions with high methane concentrations. The ...
Effects of rigidity and internal flow velocity on marine riser dynamics
(1985)
It is well known that the internal flow may have a pronounced effect on the dynamics of a pipe conveying the fluid and may even cause dynamic instability. The objective of the present study is to examine the effect of the ...
The impact of the raised drinking age in Texas on alcohol-related traffic accidents and fatalities
(1985)
In late August of 1981, Texas raised the legal drinking age from 18 to 19. This change in the drinking age followed similar actions by many other states. This study evaluated the impact of the raised drinking age in Texas ...
Correlates of mother-infant attachment : a meta-analysis
(1985)
A meta-analysis was conducted to review and integrate the findings of the mother-infant attachment literature. Standardizing differences for secure and anxiously attached infants from 89 studies yielded 809 outcome values. ...
Interaction of organic compounds with carbonate mineral surfaces in seawater and related solutions
(1985)
The selective adsorption of the C[4] to C[14] fatty acid homologs, twelve amino acids, and a series of synthetic polyglutamic acids of variable monomer unit size with the surfaces of calcite, aragonite, dolomite, and ...
