Resistance modality of resistant hybrid sorghum to sorghum midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)
(1985)
Using the the sorghum midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Coquillett), sorghum midge resistant hybrid ATx2755 X Tx2767 and the sorghum midge susceptible hybrid ATx2752 X Tx430, the resistance mechanisms and several aspects of ...
WISC-R analysis and profiles as determinants of learning problem diagnoses among children with superior intelligence
(1985)
The Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised (WISC-R) is the most widely used individual intelligence test for children and has been researched with many different populations. This study focused on the performance ...
Effects of variable force coefficients Cd and Cm on the dynamic response of a Tension-Leg Platform
(1985)
The Morison hydrodynamic force prediction equation is commonly used to compute the wave forces on offshore structures composed of "small members". The computations are carried out assuming that the force coefficients, C[d] ...
Role of cotton trichome density and extrafloral nectar in bollworm (Lepidoptera : Noctuidae) egg parasitism and predation
(1985)
Field, greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effect of cotton trichome density on parasitism and predation of Heliothis zea (Boddie) eggs. In a no-choice field test of three cotton phenotypes ...
A comparison of sex, age, and culture on mental processing scales of the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, English (K-ABC) and Spanish (K-ABC-S) versions
(1985)
The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children purports to measure intelligence based on Luria-Das designated sequential and simultaneous processes, that are separate from academic achievement. It proposes to discriminate ...
Biochemical and genetic studies of wild type and attenuated vaccine strains of bluetongue virus
(1985)
A biochemical, and genetic examination of the tetravalent, attenuated vaccine for bluetongue virus (BTV) developed at Texas A&M was undertaken. These studies were aimed at (i) identifying reliable vaccine-associated markers, ...
An investigation of asphalt-rubber binders for use in pavement construction
(1985)
Two experimental test roads containing asphalt-rubber interlayers were constructed. Both test pavements were designed as statistical experiments such that future performance analysis could be obtained. Precondition surveys ...
Two-photon excitation spectroscopy of some polynuclear aromatic compounds
(1985)
Two-photon excitation spectra were taken for the following compounds: phenanthrene, 3,4-benzophenanthrene, triphenylene, chrysene, pyrene, and tetracene. The samples were dissolved in n-alkane solvents and the spectra were ...
Sendai virus pneumonia in resistant (C57BL/6) and susceptible (DBA/2) mice
(1985)
The influence of interferon (IFN) on determining resistance in mice to Sendai virus pneumonia was studied in a resistant (C57BL/6) and susceptible (DBA/2) strain of mouse. A 100 fold difference in mortality was observed ...
Influence of different iron mineral sources on the growth of iron efficient and inefficient sorghum (Sorghum Bicolor) plants
(1985)
Two crops of Fe efficient (RTx2536) and inefficient (BTx378) sorghum were grown in a greenhouse study both with and without added CaCO3 in sand which was crushed and separated by sedimentation techniques to obtain particle ...
