Crossroad Of Empire: The Church And State On The Rio Grande Frontier Of Coahuila And Texas 1700-1821, Felix D. Almaraz Jr. Jan 1979

Crossroad Of Empire: The Church And State On The Rio Grande Frontier Of Coahuila And Texas 1700-1821, Felix D. Almaraz Jr.

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

The monograph being published here is the first in a series of data-oriented reports derived from the archaeological and ethnohistorical project centered on the modern town of Guerrero, Coahuila, Mexico. To our gratification, the project produced a great deal of information. We have decided to meet the problem of adequate publication of the results in two ways. The first is by a volume of essays which aim at synthesizing the various aspects of the data and drawing conclusions from it. This single volume will be published elsewhere and is now (1979) in preparation. The other means of publication is by …

Ethnohistoric Notes On Indian Groups Associated With Three Spanish Missions At Guerrero, Coahuila, T. N. Campbell Jan 1979

Ethnohistoric Notes On Indian Groups Associated With Three Spanish Missions At Guerrero, Coahuila, T. N. Campbell

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Three Spantsh missions, San Francisco Solano, San Juan Bautista and San Bernardo, were established near the Rio Grande at present Guerrero, northeastern Coahuila, during the years 1700-1703. Remnants of at least 88 distinctively named Indian groups at various times came to live at one or more of these missions. In 1975- 1976, the Center for Archaeological Research, The University of Texas San Antonio, supported by funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Kathryn O'Connor Foundation, conducted archaeological excavations at two of these missions, San Juan Bautista and San Bernardo. Since the cultural debris recovered from excavations is …

Haevy Metal Accumulation On Sediments Of The Four Rivermouths Draining Into The Upper Gulf Of Thailand, Varavit Cheevaparanapivat Jan 1979

Haevy Metal Accumulation On Sediments Of The Four Rivermouths Draining Into The Upper Gulf Of Thailand, Varavit Cheevaparanapivat

Applied Environmental Research

Accumalation and distribution of heavy metals namely,zinc, lead, mercury, cadmium and manganese in sediments of the four ri vermouths draining into the upper Gulf of Thailand were investigated. The concentrations of mercury, lead and zinc were found to be highest in sediments of the Chao Phy a ri vermouth. Cadmium and manganese concentrations were found to be highest in the Bang-Pakong and Tha-Chin rivermouths respectively. Mercury, lead, mangnaese and zinc were also found to have a negative correlation in their concentration with the distance Chao Phya rivermouth.


Influence Of Nickle On Batch Activated Sludge, Suthirnk Sujarittanonta Jan 1979

Influence Of Nickle On Batch Activated Sludge, Suthirnk Sujarittanonta

Applied Environmental Research

A slug fed batch reactor system was operated to determine the effects of nickel on the completely mixed activated sludge process. The model units were located in a constant temperature room maintained at 20° + 2° C. The batch reactors were operated under acclimated and shock loaded condition with various nickel concentration to determine the rate of COD removal, COD remove! efficiency biokinetic constant Y , and nickel uptake. max Based on the results obtained, it is clearly possible to see the influence of nickel on COD removal rate, COD removal efficiency, biokinetic constant Y , and nickel uptake at …

Sixty children between 0 - 15 years of age were studied, divided into three age groups, 0 - 3 years of age, 3 - 6 years of age and 6 - 15 years. Testing was carried out using the Denver Developmental Screening Test for the youngest group, the Standford-Binet Form L-M for the 3 - 6 years group, and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for the school group. The Bender-Gestalt Test was given to examine neuropsychological function. All groups …


Effects Of Cleansing Powder On Aerobic Biological Treatment, Thongchai Panswad, Suporn Vimolvatveti Jan 1979

Effects Of Cleansing Powder On Aerobic Biological Treatment, Thongchai Panswad, Suporn Vimolvatveti

Applied Environmental Research

This study was designed to investigate the effects of cleansing powder on the efficiency of the on-site or household activated sludge treatment units. Both acute and chronic toxicity were studied in term of chlorine content in the cleansing powder. An activated sludge model was constructed and the effects of chlorine on the treatment efficiencies of this model in term of BOD,COD,MPN and plate count were investigated. The study on acute toxicity showed that at chlorine concentration of S mg/cu.dm. the efficiency of the system was as high as 95 and 93 percent BOD and COD removal, respectively. A decrease in …
