Experimental studies of individual choice behavior in uncertain contexts
(1984)
The series of risky choice experiments that will be presented in this dissertation represent a major new initiative in the study of individual choice behavior in uncertain contexts. Three principal issues will be addressed. ...
Construction of a model which investigates the impact of selected variables on international tourist flows to Turkey
(1983)
The study developed a model which explained the impact of selected variables on international tourism flows to Turkey. This study differed from earlier investigations in that it focused directly upon international tourism ...
A model to analyze the export grain transportation system
(1982)
Agricultural exports have shown a substantial increase during the 1970s and are expected to continue to grow during the 1980s. Because grain is a low-valued, bulky commodity, international grain flows are very sensitive ...
A wafer scale cellular tree architecture
(1985)
Binary tree architectures are a good candidate for WSI because of the regular use of cells and local communication requirements. Unfortunately, a single critical failure can render an entire structure useless unless suitable ...
An adaptive application of multiquadric interpolants for numerically modeling large numbers of irregularly spaced hydrographic data
(1982)
The approximation or interpolation of irregularly spaced data in two or higher dimensions is extremely difficult in contrast to the one dimensional case. No one method works well in all instances with the possible exception ...
Confidence limits for the global optimum
(1982)
For many optimization problems approximate or near-optimal solutions are the only practical solutions available. This dissertation identifies and compares some procedures which use independent near-optimal solutions to ...
Texas Coastal Bend grain sorghum producers' fertilizer decisions under uncertainty
(1985)
Optimal (profit and utility maximizing) fertilizer levels are computed based on normative decision guides developed from experimental data on grain sorghum yield/fertilizer levels over an eight year (1977-1984) period, as ...
Computer-aided problem solving in southern pine beetle management
(1984)
Problem solving in integrated pest management (IPM) is a complex procedure involving the use of mathematical models and rapidly proliferating information. The effectiveness of an IPM decision-maker is a function of how ...
Effects of rigidity and internal flow velocity on marine riser dynamics
(1985)
It is well known that the internal flow may have a pronounced effect on the dynamics of a pipe conveying the fluid and may even cause dynamic instability. The objective of the present study is to examine the effect of the ...
