Feeding ecology of subadult green sea turtles in south Texas waters
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Feeding ecology of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) at South Padre Island, Texas was characterized from April 1991- March 1993. Ninety turtle captures in entanglement and cast-nets were comprised of 24 individuals from ...
The dual-task methodology and assessing the attentional demands of ambulation with walkers
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The Purpose Of this study was threefold: (1) to provide an examination Of the attentional demands of ambulating with two commonly prescribed walking aids (a standard Walker and a rolling walker) in a non-patient Population,, ...
The use of management science techniques to improve decision making in poultry processing facilities
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The growth of the poultry industry into a major meat producing agribusiness has caused poultry processing facilities to evolve into major complexes that rely increasingly on machinery to process mass numbers of chicken ...
Quantification of in situ polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon biodegradation at a petroleum contaminated site
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
A major difficulty in applying bioremediation to field sites is the quantification ofin situ bioremediation. This study is based on the hypothesis that molecular markers can be used to quantify in situ biodegradation. By ...
Development of a three-dimensional particle image velocimetry algorithm and analysis of synthetic and experimental flows in three-dimensions
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
This study concerns with the development of a simple three-dimensional technique to determine the velocity of fluid by tracing the motion of seeded particles in a flow in three-dimensions. A correction for light refraction ...
Analysis of the breakthrough of diisocyanates from a generated aerosol using the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Method number 42
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
When sampling for isocyanates utilizing OSHA methodology, a glass fiber filter coated with I-(2-pyridyl)piperazine is used for collection. For OSHA Method 42 which is used for 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, ...
The effect of injection hole geometry on flat plate film cooling and heat transfer
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Larvae of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (L) were bioassayed with a leaf-dip technique for susceptibility to formulated permethrin and methamidophos at four temperatures (10, 20, 25, and 350C) . Permethrin ...
Evaluation of sight distance as a criterion for prioritizing rail-highway intersections in Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Priority or hazard indices are used by the states to rank their rail-highway intersections according to relative hazard to aid in locating crossings for treatment of conditions and/or improvements in warning devices. The ...
Aquatic macroinvertebrate food resources for birds in a Texas coastal marsh
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Wetlands of the San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR) were sampled to investigate environmental factors which influence aquatic macroinvertebrate standing crop and diversity. Sampling occurred monthly between ...
An experimental, theoretical and numerical investigation of corona wind heat transfer enhancement
(Texas A&M University, 1993)
Corona wind heat transfer enhancement is a non-mechanical means of augmenting transfer coefficients in free and low-velocity convection flow fields. Ions formed near the surface of a high-voltage electrode are forced along ...
