Estimation of relative permeabilities from displacement experiments
(1985)
The estimation of relative permeabilities from displacement experiments by the parameter estimation method was examined. In using this method the relative permeabilities, which are continuous functions of saturation (a ...
Optimal maintenance policies for multicomponent systems with Weibull failure times
(1986)
The objective of this research is to investigate various methods for computing reliability parameters for a multicomponent system and, based on these parameters, determine an appropriate maintenance policy; in short, to ...
Capital market in agriculture : a disaggregated structural model
(1985)
The objective of this study was to develop an econometric simulation model of the U.S. financial sector that emphasizes the linkages between the financial sector and the farm sector. Demand and supply equations for eight ...
A consistent analysis of Boussinesq-type water wave equations in continuous and discrete form
(1983)
Previous derivations of the continuum Boussinesq-type equations are investigated and compared through a nondimensional order-of-approximation to establish a unique equation set. The resulting continuum equation set is ...
Dynamics of separation processes
(1984)
A generalized form of the semi-implicit Runge-Kutta method proposed by Michelsen was developed removing the necessity of defining new variables which place system differential equations in state variable form (ordinary ...
A comparative study of the empirical impact of the joint estimation approach and the alternative selection approach for application to econometric models with a pure autocorrelation structure : the case of the General Fechner-Thurstone direct utility function
(1985)
This dissertation is an empirical, comparative study of the impact of two different approaches, the joint estimation approach and the alternative selection approach, in dealing with econometric models of a typical ...
Appropriate sampling procedures for load research
(1986)
The Public Utilities Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA) requires electric utility companies with annual sales exceeding 500 million kilowatt-hours of electricity to report specific types of load research data to the Federal ...
The substitutability of monetary assets : a variable preferences approach
(1986)
Measurement of the elasticity of substitution between financial assets is an important element in evaluating the role that the assets play in the economy. In this thesis, a price dependent utility function is used to examine ...
Guidance of cable drawn implements
(1987)
A combined analytical and experimental approach was used to develop the equations of motion of a 1/6 scale cable drawn model disk harrow. The lateral deviation was found to be a linear combination of the lateral force ...
An event-oriented hourly precipitation model
(1988)
A simulation model of hourly rainfall amounts was developed to provide hourly precipitation input to a water balance model. The hourly rainfall model consists of four parts: (1) daily rainfall occurrence, (2) event rainfall ...
