An experiment was conducted to determine the
suitability of a new variety of yellow pea (Pisum sativum
L., var. Miranda) as a feed ingredient in broiler breeder
diets. Two-hundred twenty-five I S A Vedette dwarf broiler
breeder pullets were fed either a corn-soy (CS) or corn-pea
(CP) diet from day...
A 2-year field study was conducted on the effects of two sulfur
fertilizers (calcium sulfate or elemental S, 0 or 50 kg S ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹)
on the distribution of sulfur fractions (inorganic sulfate, C-bonded,
ester sulfate, and residual S), arylsulfatase enzyme activity, and
microbial biomass carbon (C) and sulfur (S)...
The purpose of this study was to determine the need
for mathematics inservice training for untrained and
trained teachers in K-7 rural schools in Manicaland,
Zimbabwe. The auxiliary teachers do not have any
professional preparation before entry into the teaching
profession. The study sought to determine the mathematics
areas needed...
The purpose of this thesis is to apply the Canonical Correlation
Analysis (CCA) which belongs to the parametric methods for power
spectral estimation in the environments of either white noise or
colored noise. It is shown that optimal state space variables
belong to the range space of the canonical vectors...
An analytic model for implementation of participatory process control was
designed from a literature review of management theory, organizational development,
statistical process control and base study methodology. A fieldwork research
plan was developed using case study methods to explain the functional flow of the
model. The research data on a...
Convection heat transfer was experimentally investigated
for two different geometries. One case had three horizontal
cylinders in a vertical plane placed between two vertical walls.
The second case had three horizontal cylinders in a vertical plane
with only one vertical wall. Several different cylinder center-tocenter
spacings were investigated. The wall...
This project explored one set of tools and procedures that
appeared to have the potential to make the handling of the spatial
data necessary for resource management more efficient and
effective. This project used data from the Nature Conservancy's
Lawrence Memorial Grassland Preserve and was designed to explore
a low...
