Parental investment and nesting behaviors of Golden-cheeked Warblers (Dendroica chrysoparia) were studied from 1993 to 1995. The relative contributions of males and females to the rearing of young were measured in terms of number of trips to the nest or to fledgling per hour, amount of time spent at the nest, and number of vocalizations per hour. Females made more trips per hour and spent more time at the nest than males until nestlings hatched. Vocalization rates varied over the course of the nesting cycle, and were highest during courtship, and while young were being fed. Nest failures, predators, parasites, and habitat were also analyzed, and Golden-cheecked warbler nesting behaviors are compared to those of other Dendroica species.Item Solutions of Gronwall-Type Inequalities(1989-08) Garza, Javier; Chatfield, John A.No abstract prepared.Item LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens)(1951-08) Garza, Edward D.; Wiley, E.O.; Grusendorf, A.A.; Wilson, Joe H.No abstract prepared.Item A Collection of Original Poetry With a Critical Introduction(1982-05) Garrison, Gregg S.; Peterson, Norman; Heaberlin, Dick; Coulson, J.P.No abstract prepared.Item An Examination of the Biotic Integrity of the Upper San Antonio River Based on Fish Community Attributes(1988-05) Gonzales, Mike; Whiteside, Bobby G.; Huffman, David; Longley, GlennThe San Antonio River rises from spring flow and well pumpage upstream from the downtown area in San Antonio, Texas. Changes in water quality and habitat occur due to urbanization and channelization, as the stream flows through the city. Habitat alterations due to channelization or water quality degradation have a significant influence on the aquatic biota. An assessment of the Upper San Antonio River ecosystem was conducted using a series of fish community attributes related to species composition and trophic structure. Sampling of the standing stocks of fish species was conducted from April through September 1987. Fish collections were evaluated to determine an index of biotic integrity at six sampling locations and these were compared with morphological and physicochemical stream information. Changes in water quality were slight but a definite response to intensive channelization was found for the following variables: total number of fish species, number of intolerant species, number of sunfishes and number of top predators collected. The index of biotic integrity appears to be useful as a means of determining ecological trends in lotic habitats, and can provide a comprehensive approach for assessing aquatic resource quality when used in conjunction with other measures of habitat and water quality.Item The Great Ramona and Other Short Stories(1990-12) Gomez, Rogelio R.; Peterson, Norman C.; Tangum, Marion M.; Jorgenson, David E.No abstract prepared.Item Role of Omega 3 Fatty Acids and Vitamin A in Depression(2014-08) Gonzales, Elisa; Lane, Michelle; Friedman, B.J.; Gonzalez-Lima, FranciscoNo abstract prepared.Item Model Cities: Problems in Local Administration(1974-08) Gonzales, Sandra; Weinberger, George; Rich, Francis; Shapek, RaymondNo abstract prepared.Item A Study of the Flight Motif in the Novels of Nathanael West(1967-05) Garrett, DeLouis M.; Walts, Robert W.; Brasher, Thomas L.; Stone, JeromeNo abstract prepared.Item The Plight of the Civil War Casualty(1972-08) Golden, J.

Two communities’ definitions of deviant behaviors were requested and then a self-report study was completed to establish the amount of participation in those deviant behaviors. The findings include a wide variation in the amount of deviance associated with behaviors and differing amounts of participation reported for the behaviors defined as deviant. This study was also interested in the personal characteristics of the individuals who reported participation in deviant behaviors. This research shows that males are more deviant than females even though they participate in the same number of deviant behaviors. The research also shows the relationships of age, marital status, family income, birth order, and size of hometown to deviance.Item Synthesis and Properties of a Homologous Series of Esters of 2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy) Ethanol(1958-01) Gliddon, Charles M.; Harding, Winfred M.; Key, Carroll L.; Porter, M.B.No abstract prepared.Item Synthesis and Study of 2-Aminomyristic Acid(1951-08) Glazner, Max W.; Harding, Winfred M.; Key, Carroll L.; Wilson, Joe H.No abstract prepared.Item The Middle East Crisis of 1967: A Case Study in American-Soviet Relations(1985-08) Glenewinkel, Jill D.; Dunn, Dennis; Brunson, Bill; Bland, RandallNo abstract prepared.Item The Non-Promotion Plan of the Port Lavaca, Texas Schools(1940-08) Glaze, Leslie; Grusendorf, A.A.; Wiley, E.O.; Rogers, J.L.No abstract prepared.Item The History and Development of the Northside Independent School District From 1911 to 1961(1962-01) Glass, Colby O.; Norwood, Pat H.; Williams, Buford W.; Grusendorf, A.A.No abstract prepared.
