Maganese geochemistry in Galveston Bay sediment
(1987)
The sediment geochemistry of Mn at a site in Galveston Bay, Texas, was investigated through a three-fold approach. A field study demonstrated that despite the coarse, quartz-rich nature of the bottom sediments, Mn was ...
Graduating nursing students' knowledge of child abuse
(1987)
The problem of this study was to compare the child abuse knowledge of student nurses prior to graduation from various degree levels of nursing schools. Four null hypotheses were tested in this study: (a) student nurses ...
Effects of planting dates and spacing on several characteristics of short day onion varieties grown in South Texas
(1987)
The effect of planting dates and spacings on several characteristics of short-day onion varieties were investigated. In 1984/85 experiments, three varieties, Special 38, Asgrow 429, and Texas Grano 1015Y produced significantly ...
