Frequency-wavenumber spectra of sea surface temperature and wind stress in the eastern North Pacific and their relation to locally forced low frequency fluctuations in the ocean
(1980)
Frequency-wavenumber spectra of sea surface temperature, wind stress components, and wind stress curl data from ship observations taken in the eastern North Pacific are presented. The reliability of the method of analysis ...
The restructuring of a forage fish community following large-scale aquatic vegetation control
(1987)
Following eradication of submersed aquatic vegetation by grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in Lake Conroe, Texas, substantial shifts in the structure of the forage fish community occurred. Density and/or standing crop ...
An analysis of price effects in cross-section data
(1984)
Most analyses of food consumption from household budget data assume that prices are constant in cross-section. However, if cross-section data have sufficient temporal and spatial dimensions, there is no a priori theoretical ...
Estimation of percolation from landfill final covers based on extreme climatic events
(1986)
Landfill waste cells are capped with a final cover of vegetated topsoil. The impact of extreme climatic events on percolation of water from landfill final covers is currently not considered in landfill cover design. Covers ...
The prediction and measurement of incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal
(1986)
A computational/experimental study was conducted on the incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal at a variety of leakage rates and seal rotation rates. The predictions were obtained using a finite difference code that ...
Approximate solution to neutron transport equation using spherical harmonics expansion and a conservative variational principle
(1984)
An approximate solution method has been developed to solve the one-dimensional, steady-state neutron transport problems in plane and spherical geometries. The spherical harmonics expansion and the multigroup approximation ...
Upper ball joint force variations due to riser tensioner and vessel motions
(1983)
An analysis of the variation of forces acting on the upper ball joint of a riser string due to drill ship motion and riser tensioner dynamics has been conducted. The analysis includes the effect of breakaway torque on the ...
A Markov chain model for cotton yield forecasting
(1986)
Using the Markov chain theory, the cotton growth characteristics at a given period were partitioned into states; these crop states were related to yield at harvest period. The Markov chain model enables one to predict the ...
Economic evaluation model of highway improvement projects
(1984)
The increased emphasis on the existing public highway system has highlighted the usefulness of economic analysis in the highway project selection process, but it has also highlighted the deficiencies of existing methods ...
Distribution of residence times of some stochastic compartmental models
(1988)
The characteristic functions of the residence times are derived for the general two-compartment reversible stochastic compartment model. Residence times for particles in a particular compartment and in the whole system are ...
