A computerized solution technique for the analysis of generalized, Bayesian, distribution-free reliability networks utilizing pass-fail data from the component level
(1980)
A solution technique for the analysis of generalized, distribution-free reliability networks is developed. It is applicable to systems consisting of independent cascade and/or parallel subsystems for which component pass-fail ...
Analytical modeling of composite and layered reservoir systems
(1988)
Analytical modeling of heterogeneous reservoir systems is an important aspect of reservoir engineering and formation evaluation. Numerous analytical models have been presented in recent years to describe pressure and rate ...
A study of sorghum diseases in Honduras, their importance under different cropping systems, and strategies for their control
(1986)
Twenty-one sorghum diseases were identified in different sorghum-growing regions of Honduras, of which eight were studied with regard to their effect on sorghum yield. Sorghum downy mildew, caused by Peronosclerospora ...
Estimating the three-parameter Kostiakov infiltration function in furrow irrigation from advance data
(1986)
A three-parameter model was developed to evaluate the parameters (K, a, and F) in the extended Kostiakov infiltration equation when continuous flow irrigation is practiced. The model also permits the evaluation of the ...
Comparison of the effects of two models of instruction on the problem-solving performance of preservice elementary school teachers and on their awareness of the problem-solving strategies they employ
(1988)
This eight-week study compared the effects of two heuristic models of instruction in mathematical problem solving on preservice elementary school teachers' problem-solving performance, on their awareness of the problem-solving ...
Improved analysis of laminated heterogeneous beams and associated formulation of a new finite element method
(1988)
Kirchhoff's theory for plates and Bernouilli-Euler's theory for beams ignore the effects of transverse shear and normal deformations on stresses and displacements. Various subsequent theories have incorporated these effects ...
A distributed dynamic watershed model
(1986)
A distributed watershed model was developed to mathematically simulate routing overland and channel flow for a single-event storm. The watersheds used in the study were subdivided into rectangular grid elements. All ...
Models of agglomeration under demand uncertainty
(1988)
Agglomeration economies are defined as economies of scope which may result from the agglomeration of an urban area. Such economies are realized as a function of the concentration of individuals and industries in a geographic ...
