Economic analysis of selected marketing strategies for cotton in the Texas Southern High Plains : a whole-farm simulation approach
(1983)
The marketing of agricultural commodities is a significant determinant in overall farm profitability and/or solvency. No past research has attempted to analyze the relative merits of different marketing strategies for ...
Establishing a consumer indifference function and its estimator for quantity purchases
(1983)
This dissertation documents the development of a pricing scheme which relates unit purchase price to the reliability performance of the items purchased. Stochastic cost models are developed to derive a function, called the ...
A method for measuring capillary pressures and relative permeabilities based upon a transient analysis of a rapid restored-state experiment
(1983)
In this dissertation an improved method for the measurement of capillary pressure and relative permeability is presented. The new technique is a modification of the restored-state capillary pressure experiment. The ...
Analytic solutions to linear, time-dependent fission product deposition models for isothermal laminar, slug, or multiregion flow conditions
(1983)
The time-dependent convective-diffusion equation with radioactive decay is solved analytically in axisymmetric cylindrical geometry for laminar and slug velocity profiles under isothermal conditions. Concentration dependent ...
Simulation of the energy, carbon, and water balance of a fluid-roof greenhouse
(1983)
The energy, water, and CO(,2) balance of a greenhouse was analyzed with two simulation models: an existing one that simulated the flows of energy and mass in a greenhouse, based on a single leaf crop representation, and ...
Stratified and turbulent wind flow over two-dimensional topographies : a numerical model
(1983)
A method for analyzing a two-dimensional flow over non-uniform surfaces has been developed. The method of analysis includes: (1) the development of a general transformation in which variable spacing in the streamwise and ...
A commodity specific policy simulation model for U.S. agriculture
(1983)
The objective of this study was to develop a commodity-specific policy simulation model emphasizing commodity production and marketing relationships, input demand, and financial stocks and flows which could be incorporated ...
Inferences on interincome inequality parameters of a joint distribution of components of income and commodity expenditure
(1983)
This dissertation is concerned with making inferences about interincome inequality parameters of a joint distribution function of different components of income and expenditures on various commodity groups. This study ...
