(1985)
This dissertation explored the judgment processes of professional government auditors (PGAs) in the evaluation of internal accounting control (IAC). The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the position ...
A soil temperature model for predicting the overwintering emergence of Heliothis zea and Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)
(1985)
An existing, physically based, one dimensional numerical model for soil temperature and soil water content was adapted and validated with experimental data on soil temperature in the upper 100mm of the profile. A simpler ...
The fate of humor in the career of Thomas Bangs Thorpe
(1985)
Thomas Bangs Thorpe won a lasting place in Southwestern humor with "The Big Bear of Arkansas," a tall tale epitomizing the "rip-roaring" frontiersman's yarn. Thorpe's other sketches have faded into obscurity. This study ...
Mechanistic study of substituted 5-Hexen-1-YL radicals : evaluation of capto-dative stabilization effects
(1985)
Three aliphatic bromides, 6-bromo-1-cyano-1-methoxy-1-hexene, 6-bromo-1-cyano-1-hexene and 6-bromo-1-methoxy-1-hexene, designed for the introduction of capto-dative stabilization effect into the well known 5-hexen-1-yl ...
An application of stochastic compartmental theory to modeling plant growth and crop yield
(1985)
The cumulant generating functions are derived for the n-compartment irreversible catenary systems for constant transfer rates and for time-dependent transfer rates. Furthermore higher order residence time moments or survival ...
Population ecology of Dactylopius confusus (Homoptera: Dactylopiidae)
(1985)
Field and laboratory studies were conducted to investigate the biology, ecology, and population dynamics of the native cochineal insect Dactylopius confusus (Cockerell) (Homoptera: Dactylopiidae) and the insect's potential ...
Estimation of relative permeabilities from displacement experiments
(1985)
The estimation of relative permeabilities from displacement experiments by the parameter estimation method was examined. In using this method the relative permeabilities, which are continuous functions of saturation (a ...
Soil hydrologic changes and nutrient flux following long-term burning of a longleaf pine-bluestem association
(1985)
A study was conducted on the Palustris Experimental Forest near Alexandria, located in the southern mixed forest region of Louisiana, to determine the effects of 22 years of prescribed burning on soil hydrologic, forest ...
Hydrologic consequences of intensive rotation grazing
(1985)
A four-part study was conducted at the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 56 km southwest of Sonora, Texas on the Edwards Plateau. The objective of the study was to provide a greater understanding of the hydrologic ...
The influence of fertilization, phloem restriction, irrigation, microbes, and ethephon on pecan shuck disorders in Texas
(1985)
Shuck disorders are a common production problem of Texas pecan producers. The shuck disorders observed in this study were not caused by stem end blight or shuck dieback. The principal shuck disorders studied were called ...
