Estate planning practices of rural residents of Virginia and case studies of alternative estate plans under the new laws resulting from the 1976 tax reform act
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1977)
Within the last two-and-a-half decades tremendous increases have occurred in the value and size of farm operations and in the amount of capital required. These increases and enactment of the 1976 Tax Reform Act have cast ...
Joint occupancy: the efficient use of urban land
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
The high cost of land in large urban centers and increasing energy costs have prompted the revival of an old method of construction. Joint occupancy is the sharing of land for different combinations of uses.
There are ...
A measure of the natural potential of land for supporting deer populations
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1972)
A model of the inter- and intra-seasonal energy flow through deer populations ,.;as developed through the use of the existing literature. The model was programmed in Fortran IV for computer based use in evaluating the ...
On M-spaces and M*-spaces
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1970)
In this thesis we investigate the properties of M-spaces and M*-spaces, which are generalized metric spaces. Chapter II is devoted to preliminary results, and in Chapter III we prove the characterization for M-spaces theorem ...
The nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of adhesives and chopped fiber composites
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
The viscoelastic behavior of a chopped glass fiber/polyester sheet molding compound (SMC-25) and of a modified epoxy adhesive (Metlbond 1113-2) as determined by creep and creep recovery tests is presented. A nonlinear ...
A new method of aging gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) by use of cementum annuli
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1972)
Squirrel teeth were decalcified in a modified formic acid-sodium citrate solution and sectioned longitudinally with a razor blade. The sections were stained with Harris' hematoxylin and eosin and viewed under a microscope ...
The relation of anaerobic threshold, circulorespiratory endurance and performance capacity in active adult men
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1979)
The reliability of anaerobic threshold and the validity of its use as an index of circulorespiratory endurance and performance capacity were investigated using coefficients of correlation and mean scores. Reliability was ...
Oven roasting vs. oven braising methods of cooking top round roasts
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1972)
The semimembranosus muscles from eight U. S. Choice beef top rounds from four carcasses were used to study the effect of oven roasting and oven braising methods on selected beef characteristics. Roasts from different ...
Evaluation of improved stevedore pallet
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
An evaluation was made of the performance of 48 11 x 63 11 , reversible, doubleface, wing-type, two-way entry, nailed red-oak, stevedore pallets of two designs assembled with four different nails. Special consideration was ...
Periphyton production in an Appalachian mountain trout stream
(Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, 1978)
Temporal production patterns for periphyton have been poorly quantified in small woodland streams. In this study periphyton production on natural substrates was measured in a second order, western Virginia trout stream and ...
