High order variational solutions of time-dependent neutron transport problems
(1985)
High order numerical solutions of the time-dependent one speed neutron transport equation are developed using cubic hermite polynomial trial functions, variational techniques, and exponential matrix operators. Two new ...
Impact of port user charges on the U.S. grain export marketing system and producers' welfare
(1985)
During the past few years, legislative initiatives introduced to the U.S. Congress have aimed at recovering the federal government's outlays to operate, maintain, and improve the nation's deep-draft navigation facilities. ...
Genetic studies of metabolic resistance to insecticides in field and laboratory populations of house flies
(1985)
Metabolic resistance (R) controlled by a major gene on chromosome II in house flies is maintained in a heterozygous (R/S) condition in a laboratory strain called R-Propoxur-car. After 120 generations of intermittent selection ...
Geostatistical analysis of the spatial variability of leveled lignite mine spoil in East Texas
(1985)
An understanding of the spatial variability of mine spoil is needed to improve sampling techniques. Core samples were taken at two sites at intervals of 3.05 m along four intersecting transects located at 0, 45, 90, and ...
High temperature deformation of wet and dry artificial quartz gouge
(1985)
The microstructures and rheology of quartz gouge (grain size < 130 μm), deformed under dry and hydrothermal conditions in experimental shear zones, are described. Layers ([sine wave] 0.3 μm) of quartz powder are sheared ...
Power boaters and sail boaters in Beaufort County, South Carolina : a psychographic and demographic segmentation analysis
(1985)
This exploratory market segmentation study in a coastal South Carolina County investigated the life styles of boaters and their associated leisure activities. The research approach was comprised of four distinct parts: ...
Response of short and full season cotton cultivars to mepiquat chloride
(1985)
The effects of mepiquat chloride (1,1 dimethyl piperidinium chloride), applied at three different stages of crop development, were evaluated on cotton cultivars of differing growth habit and determinacy (TAMCOT CAMD-E and ...
Hydrologic interrelationships with vegetation and soil as affected by selected livestock grazing systems and climate on the Edwards Plateau
(1985)
The effects of grazing systems and climate on rangeland hydrology, soil and vegetation were assessed over a six year period at the Texas Agricultural Research Station, located 56 km southwest of Sonora on the Edwards ...
Identifying factors relating to predicting profitability of product lines for industrial distributors
(1985)
The primary objective of this study was to identify methods of predicting the profitability of product lines by successful industrial distributors. Secondary objectives were to: (1) identify and rank those factors considered ...
A study of Texas short-term stay hospitals' patterns of capital investment
(1985)
The purpose of this study was to investigate and describe the relationship between the size of a hospital and the annual cost of its capital projects. Particular attention was given to certain other variables to determine ...
