Influence of herbicides on rangeland vegetation of the Rio Grande Plain
(1971)
The Rio Grande Plain resource area of Texas consists of some 20 million acres, 17 millions of which are rangeland. Over 90% of the rangeland supports 20% or greater brush cover including Opuntia spp. (pricklypear). This ...
A yield model for dryland wheat production
(1971)
Seasonal evapotranspiration from dryland and irrigated wheat plots at Goodwell, Oklahoma during a three year period (1964-1967) could not be adequately described, without the inclusion of a drainage model, from data ...
Petrology of southeastern Piedmont river sands, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina

The petrology of coarse, moderately sorted to moderately-well sorted, sands was examined from six rivers in the south eastern Piedmont Province. The six rivers were the Altamaha River, the Ogeechee River, the Savannah ...
Stable carbon isotope fractionation in photosynthetic carbon metabolism
(1971)
Carbon isotope fractionation has been examined in various photosynthetic pathways at the molecular and cellular level, using modern biochemical techniques for the isolation of pure metabolic and cellular constituents. ...

Peripheral and foveal information decoding capacity of the human eye under intermittent photic stimuli
(1971)
The binocular information decoding capacity of the human eye was measured using the number of correctly identified Landolt rings out of fifteen, the number of completely correctly identified three-ring messages out of five, ...
Feasibility of predicting human manual dynamic performance, push, and pull from static effort and anthropometric data
(1971)
It was determined from this research that human manual dynamic performance, push, and pull can be predicted from s ta tic strength and anthropometric data. Forty right-handed male college students between 18 and 35 years ...
