(1988)
Through the use of meta-analytic procedures and descriptive statistics, the purpose of this study was to conduct an exploratory analysis and synthesis in an effort to determine the status and nature of adult self-direction ...
Response of the Heliothis virescens (F.) larvae to nitrogen fertilization and irrigation inputs in cotton
(1988)
When high inputs of nitrogen (N) fertilizer and irrigation are used in cotton production, variation in quantity and quality of the crop as food for insect herbivores can result. Field studies were conducted in 1983-85 to ...
Some problems in sequencing and scheduling utilizing branch and bound algorithms
(1988)
This dissertation deals with branch and bound algorithms which are applied to the two-machine flow-shop problem with sparse precedence constraints and the optimal sequencing and scheduling of multiple feedstocks in a batch ...
Effects of statically performed toe touch stretches on torque production of the hamstring and quadriceps muscle groups
