Analysis of a counterflow indirect evaporative cooling and liquid desiccant dehumidification system
(1986)
A solar-fired liquid desiccant cooling and dehumidification system has been proposed, analyzed and simulated on a digital computer. The entire study comprised of three distinct but related stages. The first phase of the ...
One-dimensional iterative inversion of vertical seismic profiles
(1985)
In a vertical seismic profile, the earth's response to a surface excitation is measured by geophones located in a borehole. The objective of this research has been to use the recorded up and downgoing waves to estimate ...
The development and evaluation of a capacity-constrained, multiobjective cell formation heuristic model
(1987)
Cellular Manufacturing (CM) is a manufacturing method that groups processes, people, and machines into workcells to produce a specific family of parts. This study concerns the very fundamental problem in designing CM ...
Evaluation of the differential energy distribution of systems of non-thermally activated molecules
(1986)
A long standing problem in the field of chemical kinetics has been the evaluation of the differential energy distribution in systems which contain broad energy spectra and are not at thermal equilibrium. In this work, a ...
Simultaneous lot sizing and scheduling : a heuristic algorithm for dynamic, discrete demands on a single facility
(1987)
One of major decisions which firms must face is to determine when and how much to produce in what sequence. The existing practice is to go through stages of lot sizing, capacity planning and scheduling sequentially to ...
Modeling temperature and surface heat transfer coefficient in beef carcass cooling using finite element technique
(1985)
A two dimensional finite element model was used to predict the temperature and surface heat transfer coefficient in the cooling of beef carcasses. The middle of the loin was the location chosen for modeling. The model was ...
An empirical field study of statistical and management prediction models and the effects of a budget-based incentive program
(1986)
Previous research has shown that the use of budgets, coupled with significantly valued rewards, to motivate personnel and evaluate performance in managerial accounting settings results in a greater likelihood that managers ...
Simulation of genetic and environmental interaction of three tropical hair sheep breeds for meat production
(1987)
Statistical and systems analysis techniques were used in a complementary way to achieve the objectives of obtaining estimates of genetic and environmental parameters for growth and reproduction characters of three tropical ...
Multicomponent transport in a bilayer ion-exchange membrane
(1987)
Ion-exchange membranes have found many uses for their special separation capabilities and are used currently in electrolysis and fuel cells, batteries, and chemical separations. Bilayer membranes have been particularly ...
Information and dynamic adjustment in the U.S. dairy industry
(1987)
Quality of information and the ability of producers to act upon information are important factors influencing technological progress. The dissemination by extension agents of information on dairy management practices used ...
