Rational analytical method to design a yielding highway traffic barrier for use on and near a bridge structure
(1973)
In this study, safety is considered to be of utmost importance in the design of at traffic barrier on and near a bridge. This paper presents an analytical method to assist the highway engineer in the rational design of a ...
Experimental studies of beach scour due to wave action
(1973)
A series of experiments was conducted to investigate the processes involved in the formation of beach scour, caused by wave action, on a natural beach and a seawall beach. The studies also involved in the determination of ...
Selecting variables for regression and classification by thresholding
(1973)
This paper consists of two main parts. In Part I, the problem of selecting variables for regression is addressed in the context of a model for which a well-defined best subset exists. Under this model, various techniques ...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) seedling-chlorosis correction by Fe, Zn, and H₂SO₄ applications
(1973)
In the western Texas rice belt (Coastal Prairies) rice seedling chlorosis in calcareous spots and cut areas has recently become more prevalent. Field investigations were conducted regarding the feasibility of rice seedling ...
Isolation and some properties of bovine [gamma]-casein
(1973)
The utilization of calcium phosphate gel for the development of a batch-type procedure for the isolation of bovine Y-casein was investigated. Preparation of crude whole Y-casein was based upon the differential solubility ...
Factors influencing the feasibility of producing broiler breeder hatching eggs in multiple bird cages
(1973)
Hatching egg production from commercial broiler breeders housed in single and multiple male cages maintained in a naturally and in artificially ventilated houses was investigated. Twelve cages measuring 90x90x60 cm. and ...
The scope of obligatory union representation of bargaining unit members during the contractual period
(1973)
The primary objective of this dissertation is to support the proposition that an employee, accused of misconduct, be afforded the same rights as are provided the accused in a criminal investigation. The point is established, ...
Evaluation of the first and fourth cycles of reciprocal recurrent selection as a corn improvement program
(1973)
This study was designed to determine if the reciprocal recurrent selection program at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station at Texas A&M University has improved the probability of selecting a higher frequency of ...
Strain in deep grain bin walls due to ambient temperature decrease
(1973)
A series of tests were conducted to determine if tensiles train in deep storage bin walls increased significantly when ambient temperatures decreased. Theoretical analysis, based on beams on elastic foundation theory, was ...
The effect of nutrition upon the metabolic enzymes of glycine and serine in Gallus domesticus
(1973)
Glycine and serine were determined to be essential for optimum growth in chicks. Chicks fed a chick starter diet for the first 5 days had a requirement of .25% glycine for optimum weight gain for the feeding period of 6-15 ...
