Prediction of bank erosion for alluvial channels below reservoirs
(1990)
The impact, of a reservoir on downstream channel erosion has received increasing attention since the 1920's. The sediment-free water released from the reservoir could induce severe problems on downstream channel erosion ...
Inheritance of somatic embryogenesis in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)
(1993)
Somatic embryogenesis in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) had been achieved as early as 1983, but only in certain cotton genotypes, especially 'Coker 312' and its sister lines. Somatic embryogenesis is important because it is ...
An investigation of the influence of gender and relative position of strength on power strategy use
(1993)
Previous studies have suggested that gender plays a significant role in determining the type of power strategies individuals use. It has been suggested, however, that the issue of gender in such studies may be confounded ...
Membrane trafficking in soybean protoplasts
(1991)
Membrane trafficking in plant cells was investigated by examining soybean (Glycine max L.) cell suspension cultures. The convergence of the endocytic pathway and the lysosomal and secretory pathways was examined by incubating ...
Sir Redvers Buller in the Post Cardwellian Army : a study of the rise and fall of a military reputation
(1993)
In 1899, General Sir Redvers Buller went to South Africa to command the British forces in a war against the Dutch-speaking republics of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. While never having held independent command ...
Estimation of variance components and diagnostic analysis in unbalanced mixed linear models
(1993)
This dissertation presents a new estimation procedure for the variance components in the unbalanced mixed linear model. Without the non-negativity constraint, restricted maximum likelihood (REML) estimates are computed ...
Application of pullout test fracture strength and theory toward a quality management system for controlling concrete pavement cracks
(1994)
For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
Stability and change in coping patterns in adolescence and young adulthood
(1993)
Using panel data for 3,805 participants followed between early adolescence and young adulthood, patterns of coping patterns and changes in these patterns are described. At both life stages more socially approved mechanisms ...
Insulation in the opaque envelope : effects on thermal performance of residential buildings in hot-arid climates
(1991)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the thermal performance of insulated opaque building envelopes when the order of envelope insulating layers was altered. The study emphasized the effect on cooling load. Three ...
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow
(1992)
Local heat transfer in an enclosed corotating disk with axial throughflow was investigated. The rotating cavity has two plane disks and a cylindrical rim (shroud). The ratio of the rim span to the disk outer radius is 0.4 ...
