Temperature distribution around a well during thermal injection and a graphical determination of thermal properties of the aquifer
(1980)
Analytical models of hot water injection into groundwater aquifers were developed in this study. Available analytical models of this problem assume that the caprock overlying the aquifer is of infinite thickness. However, ...
The impact of the 1977 Food and Agriculture Act on cotton production in the United States : a simulation of policy alternatives
(1980)
This study estimates the probable impacts of seven alternative cotton policy scenarios on the crop production industry in the Cotton Belt region of the United States. A belt-wide, regional linear programming model of crop ...
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 ...
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 growth and consumption of kleingrass (Panicum coloratum L.) by growing beef steers : a model
(1980)
Of all the problems that confront agriculture perhaps the unpredictability of weather is the most difficult to quantify. Twenty years of climatalogical data were obtained for Beeville, Texas and cumulative frequency ...
A two-compartment drying model related to the fissuring in rough rice
(1980)
Rough rice drying has been studied for years and described mathematically by various researchers. Some have used diffusion equations or have adopted semi-theoretical models in explaining the drying process. But none ...
Variable amortization and financial control under uncertainty : application to Texas rice farms
(1980)
This study was designed primarily to determine the effects of farm financial control process, including variable amortization, as a means of responding to financial risk by the rice farmers in the Texas Coast Prairie area. ...
Development of a soil moisture model for use with passive microwave remote sensors
(1980)
Soil moisture profiles were simulated for a hypothetical loamlike soil with a water and heat balance model. Expected X-band and L-band radiometer response to these conditions were simulated by a radiative transfer model. ...
Fracture diagram for stiffened panel and computer based approach for structural life prediction
(1980)
Over the past few decades the aircraft industry has devoted considerable effort incorporating fracture control procedures in the design of their structures. One of the problems confronting aircraft designers is the modeling ...
Impact of alternative energy prices, tenure arrangements and irrigation technologies on a typical Texas high plains farm firm
(1980)
Irrigation is a major contributing factor in crop production on the Texas High Plains. It is responsible for greatly increasing crop production and farm income for the region. Two factors, a declining groundwater supply ...
