(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2002)I surveyed Harris' hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) grouping relative to rainfall and landscape patterns at eight southern Texas study sites during the fall non-breeding season. Objectives were to: I) determine relationships ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)2,3,7,8 -Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a broad spectrum antiestrogen which works through the aryl hydrocarbon (Ah) receptor. The estrogen receptor (ER) positive hum an ovarian carcinoma cell lines PE01, PE04 and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Cell lines derived from rat ovarian granulosa cells were established as an epithelial model system for studies of in vitro transformation. A series of experiments focused on analysis of an unusual nuclear distribution of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Rice kernels may develop fissures due to internal stresses when subjected to moisture adsorbing environments. Rice kernels were initially conditioned to three equilibrium relative humidities (ERH) of 46, 62, and 80%, and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The objective of this work was to develop a kinetic model to describe the conversions and selectivity typical of iron based Fischer-Tropsch catalysts, and to apply the model in simulations of typical laboratory reactors. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Heat stress causes embryonic mortality in the bovine and in the mouse. A group of proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized in response to heat stress and are thought to enhance cellular thermotolerance. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)This study analyzed selected problems of small-scale fishermen in Indonesia, related to governmental assistance, fishing as an occupation, and their willingness to take risk associated with fishing practices. The population ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The unchecked growth of diatoms and cyanobacteria is a major concern in shrimp mariculture. Diatom blooms are often stimulateded, to increase productivity in ponds; at the same time, mariculturists may try to control ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The United States has maintained a sugar import quota since 1982. This policy, while supporting U.S. producer prices and incomes at a high level, has caused consumers to pay more for sugar and has reduced the incomes of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)An extensive study of organized convection is carried out through an analytical approach and numerical modeling, with specific emphasis on the dynamics of two-dimensional convective lines. A hierarchical generalization of ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Para xylene is a valuable aromatic compound, because of the demand for oxidation to form tetraphthalic acid, a feed stock for polyester resin and fibers. A relatively high cost is associated with obtaining it in 99+% purity. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Weed control by triploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella Val.) in waterlily (Nymphaea cultivars) production ponds was investigated and simulated. The 4 x 2 factorial experiment involved eight duplicated treatments ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)The objectives of this research are twofold. First, to investigate the impact of unequal processing time variances on overall shop performance. Second, to implement strategies for improving job shop performance by designing ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Three major dimensions of the empowerment process are identified (actors, goals, guidelines for practice) through a review of the literature on the practice of empowerment. Subsequently, empowerment is formally defined as ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)While much has been written about the evolution of new tissues or organs, little is known about the origin of the regulatory elements that direct gene expression in new structures. Questions also arise about how new ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)The objective o f this dissertation is to investigate the physical and chemical mechanisms involved when ionizing radiation interacts with biological m olecules in aqueous solution. Polyuridylic acid has been selected as ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)In September 1939, as Europe went to war, the United States had an Army rated seventeenth in the world. The National Guard was a force, although partially equipped and trained, that could augment it. The Army quickly won ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)This study examined the influence of procedural, interpersonal, and distributive justice on perceptions of fairness and workplace attitudes and behaviors for layoff victims and survivors. Self-report survey instruments ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)Experimental temperatures and pressures were obtained using a Burnett-isochoric apparatus, and corresponding densitites derived for two mistures of carbon dioxide (1) and hydrogen sulfide (2); x1 = 0.7067, x2 = 0.2933 and ...
