A study of the barriers perceived as having impact on degree attainment by doctoral students in the College of Education, Texas A & M University
(1987)
The purpose of this study was to identify perceived situational, dispositional and institutional barriers which had a negative impact on doctoral students' completing their degree requirements, identify faculty perceptions ...
Simulation of vehicular impacts with safety-shaped barrier
(1987)
In the research described here, a vehicle/barrier crush model was developed and combined with a vehicle model to simulate impacts with the concrete safety-shaped barriers (CSSB). The crush model accounts for the effects ...
Pathogenesis, tissue tropism, and biochemical characterization of pneumotropic, nephrotropic, and vaccine strains of the infectious bronchitis virus
(1987)
The experiments were performed to determine the pathogenesis, tissue tropism, and persistence of Australian T, Arkansas 99, and Holland 52 infectious bronchitis viruses (IBV), and to compare protein and nucleic acid profiles ...
A forecast of future critical tasks for special education administrators
(1987)
The purpose of the study was to identify and rate critical tasks for the special education administrator for the time period I (0 to 5 years) and II (10 to 20 years), and to prioritize the tasks based on consensus so that ...
The isomerization of gold(I) ylide dimers and the preparation and structure of the gold(II) ylide dimers containing ligands coordinated through sulfur
(1987)
The preparation of the asymmetric gold dimer, 2, [Au(CH₂)₂P(C₆H₅)(CH₃)]₂, was carried out using Li[C₆H₅)(CH₃)P(CH₂)₂] and (C₆H₅)₃PAuCl. The trans isomer was isolated as the predominant product. Isomerization of trans-2 to ...
A parallelized rule-based system shell for monitoring applications
(1987)
Currently industry and academia are interested in finding ways to employ artificial intelligence technology in useful applications. Expert systems, a major subdivision of artificial intelligence, have been used successfully ...
The relationship between opportunity to learn basic reading skills and student achievement via computer assisted instruction
(1987)
The relationship between teachers' allocation of time for computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in reading and reading achievement scores of students in grades three and five was investigated. This study proposed the variable, ...
Californium-252 plasma desorption mass analysis of proteins adsorbed on polymer and modified-polymer surfaces
(1987)
A new Cf-252 plasma desorption mass spectrometer has been built specifically for the analysis of large biomolecules. This mass spectrometer was used to investigate the interactions between proteins adsorbed onto polymer ...
Risk efficient cropping strategies and farm survival : Texas Trans-Pecos
(1987)
Large accrued debt levels as well as changes in government farm program income support levels insure an ongoing struggle to survive for farm firms in the Texas Trans-Pecos. Relying almost totally on deep groundwater supplies ...
The relationships among marital satisfaction, perceived family of origin health, and stressful life events
(1987)
The purpose of this study was to determine the ability of perceived family-of-origin health and recently experienced stress to predict an individual's marital satisfaction. Another purpose was to determine the ability of ...
