Thermodyanamic behavior with cost predictions of residential desiccant cooling systems
(1986)
A computer model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of residential, desiccant space conditioning systems. Finite difference methods are used to model a rotating desiccant wheel and the results used to ...
Forecasting services for pregnant and parenting adolescents using the Delphi Technique
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to determine existing services and barriers to services at the local level for pregnant and parenting adolescents and to forecast the events that would remove those barriers in the next decade. ...
Changes in the potential for wind energy generation due to terrain modification of the boundary-layer flow
(1980)
In situ measurements and a wind tunnel experiment are used to define the degree of wind speedup in the boundary-layer flow over the top of a small mesa. Measurements of the speedup of the wind relative to that observed ...

A study of some of the costs and benefits related to occupational safety and health in selected Texas industries
(1976)
The primary purpose of this research was to estimate relationships between the monetary cost of occupational safety and health loss control activities and the monetary cost of work injuries. A second purpose was to estimate ...
A study of the impact of student population on selected water quality parameters of wastewater effluent discharge
(1976)
The selected water quality parameters of Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Suspended Solids, pH (acidity-basicity), and Fecal Coliform count were used to ascertain the quality of effluent discharge from two separate wastewater ...
Vandalism in Texas high schools : nature, extent, and preventive measures
(1976)
Procedure. A review of related literature was conducted to identify suggested relationships between school and community characteristics and the extent of school vandalism, and to identify vandalism prevention measures ...
A systems evaluation of high speed rail for the Texas Triangle
(1985)
This dissertation describes and compares simulations of operation of different high speed rail technologies on alternative rights-of-way in the Texas Triangle which connect Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio. ...
A model for system change : a case study
(1976)
A lack of understanding of the internal bureaucratic procedures for adapting exists among sociologists. This dissertation consists of a change model, the variables of which are based upon the goals, roles, structure, change ...
