Soil water evaporation and transpiration from a row crop at partial cover
(1990)
When crops are cultivated in a row configuration, latent heat flux from the soil (LE[s]) and crop canopy (LE[c]) influence the energy and water balance of the crop. Field experiments were conducted in Lubbock, TX to examine ...
Factors affecting the efficacy of seed safeners against chloroacetamide herbicides in sorghum
(1990)
Seed treatments using cyometrinil, oxabetrinil, and flurazole have effectively safened grain sorghum against chloroacetamide herbicides such as alachlor and metolachlor at rates of 2.24 or 3.36 kg/ha under field and ...
Migration patterns and returns to migration among female-headed families
(1990)
The main goal of this dissertation was to study migration patterns and socioeconomic returns to migration among migrant female-headed families. The Texas data used in the dissertation were drawn from public-use microdata ...
White water, still water : strategy making processes for navigating a changing domain
(1990)
This study began with the idea that managers make business-level strategic decisions both by adapting to circumstances and by exercising analytical choice processes. Industry competitive conditions were proposed to affect ...
Synthesis of substrates and analogs for the enzymes of vitamin B₁₂ biosynthesis
(1990)
The synthesis of some of the postulated intermediates in the pathway of vitamin B12 biosynthesis, precorrins-4A, -4B and -5, were initiated. The different ring precursors necessary for the precorrins were prepared as racemic ...
Determining the availability of hardwood timber on non-industrial private forest land in southeast Texas
(1990)
In some areas of the South, including Southeast Texas, non-industrial private forest (NIPF) lands are becoming increasingly important as sources of hardwood fiber as hardwood timber inventory declines on forest industry ...
A predictive modeling system for manufacturing process parameters
(1990)
A methodology was developed using neural network theory to predict the occurrence of out of control process parameter conditions in a composite board manufacturing facility. Three weeks of process parameter data were ...
Mechanics of deformation in thrust fault zones
(1990)
Fabrics in fault rocks along the Lewis thrust fault at Marias Pass, northwest Montana, depend on lithology. Fault rocks derived from hanging-wall dolomite are random-fabric cataclasites, whereas fault rocks that include ...
Alzheimer's disease special care units : a comparative study of the retrofit design
(1990)
This exploratory research addressed the retrofit of existing licensed nursing home wings into special care units for Alzheimer's disease patients. This type of unit was coined Alzheimer's Care Unit (ACU). This research ...
Factors influencing hormonal patterns during postpartum anestrus in beef cattle
(1992)
Studies were performed to evaluate postpartum (PP) hormonal profiles in beef cattle. One study examined the effect of aspirin (A) feeding on PP endocrine profiles and reproductive function. The second study evaluated the ...
