Observed and estimated (ERHYM-II model) water budgets for South Texas rangelands
(1987)
A three-part study was conducted at the La Copita Research Area, 20 km southwest of Alice, in the eastern Rio Grande Plain of Texas. The research tested the hypothesis that honey mesquite-dominated shrub clusters have ...
Optimal grain sorghum irrigation strategies in a dynamic, stochastic environment
(1978)
Agricultural production and associated economic effects of irrigation on the Texas High Plains are seriously threatened by a rapidly declining groundwater supply and a swift upward trend in energy costs. To optimize the ...
A stochastic network simulation model for the Texas certificate of need review process as relates to general hospital bed expansion
(1978)
A review of the literature related to hospital utilization as well as the Texas Certificate of Need (CON) process revealed no comprehensive, consistent method for reviewing CON applications. To overcome this deficiency in ...
Texas Coastal Bend grain sorghum producers' fertilizer decisions under uncertainty
(1985)
Optimal (profit and utility maximizing) fertilizer levels are computed based on normative decision guides developed from experimental data on grain sorghum yield/fertilizer levels over an eight year (1977-1984) period, as ...
An economic analysis of the rural land market in Texas
(1978)
The rural land market in Texas has been typified for the last 30 years with general increases in values. These increases have been erratic which has resulted in uncertainty for lending institutions, agriculturalists, ...
A probabilistic forecasting model of tropical cyclone-generated storm surge for a straight coastline
(1984)
A dynamic and statistical algorithm is constructed for a probabilistic forecasting of storm surge. The three essential constituents of this algorithm are: (1) an appropriate tropical cyclone model, (2) a justified and ...
A combined serviceability and distress pavement performance model for estimating remaining service life of flexible pavements
(1983)
A procedure is developed to estimate the remaining service life of flexible pavements based upon predicted ride and distress conditions. These conditions are forecast using equations that involve measurable values of ...
A modeling study of the circulation of East Lagoon, Galveston, Texas
(1989)
A three-dimensional time-dependent primitive equation model has been constructed to investigate the processes that control the circulation in East Lagoon, a narrow, shallow lagoon on Galveston Island, Texas. The primarily ...
A study of the feasibility of using forecasting models to characterize the supply of contract construction labor
(1977)
The purpose of this study were 1) to develop comprehensive construction labor supply forecasting models for several SMSAs in Texas and 2) to determine whether such models could be used to characterize construction labor ...
The restructuring of a forage fish community following large-scale aquatic vegetation control
(1987)
Following eradication of submersed aquatic vegetation by grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in Lake Conroe, Texas, substantial shifts in the structure of the forage fish community occurred. Density and/or standing crop ...
