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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
A computer simulation of cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for students in interdisciplinary education at Texas A & M University
(1984)
This study was undertaken to develop a computer simulation model which would be able to simulate cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for a group of students. Studies and research findings have suggested that behaviors ...
A probabilistic forecasting model of tropical cyclone-generated storm surge for a straight coastline
(1984)
A dynamic and statistical algorithm is constructed for a probabilistic forecasting of storm surge. The three essential constituents of this algorithm are: (1) an appropriate tropical cyclone model, (2) a justified and ...
Individual and market bidding behavior in vickrey first price auctions
(1984)
A series of five first price sealed bid auctions of a single unit were conducted using experimental techniques. The results of the experiments were analyzed to determine the effect on bidding behavior due to the change in ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Semibrittle deformation of granite at upper crustal conditions
(1984)
This work addresses semibrittle deformation of rock, characteristic of high temperature and low pressure environments. To enhance the understanding of this multimechanistic deformation regime results are presented on: (1) ...
