A quantitative framework for economic analysis of alternative U.S. government policies affecting the domestic raw peanut industry
(1989)
Structure of the U.S. peanut industry and history of domestic peanut policies are described. Intermediate product category (edible or crush), final product use location (U.S. or abroad), and, for crushed nuts, location of ...
The estimation of variance components in unbalanced models
(1987)
The estimation of variance components in random and mixed factorial analysis of variance models has been the topic of much research. When all the cells of the model have the same amount of data, uniformly, minimum variance, ...
An allocation model for tourism investment
(1982)
Tourism is a complex and economically significant factor in the economy of many areas of the world including the United States. Investment decisions for tourism are often made without considering all salient factors. This ...
The effect of wave-current interactions on the hydrodynamic loading of large offshore structures
(1982)
The influence of wave-current interactions on the fluid loading of large offshore structures has been investigated by extending the conventional diffraction theory approach to include the changes in the incident and scattered ...
Kinetics of mixed culture fermentation of multiple substrates
(1988)
Biomass hydrolyzates contain a mixture of hexoses, pentoses and disaccharides, the major components being glucose, xylose and cellobiose. These substrates generally are not all utilized with equal efficiency during ...
Variable amortization and financial control under uncertainty : application to Texas rice farms
(1980)
This study was designed primarily to determine the effects of farm financial control process, including variable amortization, as a means of responding to financial risk by the rice farmers in the Texas Coast Prairie area. ...
A biophysical model to quantify moisture stress in rain-fed rice in Sri Lanka
(1986)
Three crop moisture stress indices (CMSI1, CMSI2 and CMSI3) are proposed. In computing index 1 and 2, stress is assumed to occur when the actual to potential transpiration ratio (AT/PT) falls below a critical level, while ...
Physical-stochastic modeling of power system loads : modeling and system identification of residential air conditioning system
(1983)
This research deals with physically-based modeling of power system loads. Residential air conditioner system has been chosen to demonstrate the modeling technique. The dynamic behaviour of the air conditioning system is ...
Thermodyanamic behavior with cost predictions of residential desiccant cooling systems
(1986)
A computer model is developed to simulate the thermodynamic behavior of residential, desiccant space conditioning systems. Finite difference methods are used to model a rotating desiccant wheel and the results used to ...
Development of a soil moisture model for use with passive microwave remote sensors
(1980)
Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
