(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1979)One of the needs of the rehabilitation industry in the United States is definitive information on the capability of severely injured patients. As a beginning toward satisfying this need, this research reports the levels ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)An adaptive hybrid learning procedure is proposed for change detection and on-line identification of nonstationary manufacturing processes. Sequential measurements in manufacturing systems and on-line measured signals in ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)In this dissertation, an algorithm was developed to solve large scale discrete nonlinear knapsack problems (NKP) with multiple resource constraints. The algorithm is essentially a dynamic programming technique in a sense ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)An automated approach to optimizing multiple-response simulation experiments is presented. AMOS (Automated Multiple-Response Optimum-Seeker for Simulations) is an integrated system of Prolog and Fortran programs, implemented ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)The objective of this investigation was to identify loss control practices which could provide an explanation for variations in loss experience from firm to firm in the same industry. The control of exposures which could ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Continuous records of ECG were obtained from 24 industrial managers during two workdays. A portable magnetic tape recorder was used to obtain 45 days of data suitable for analysis. Diaries were used by the subjects to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Markov renewal theory, a branch of probability theory, is based on the properties of regeneration points. Roughly speaking, a regeneration point is a random time in a process at which the future development of the process ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Producing methane from biomass feedstock by using anaerobic digestion method is a way of providing a renewable source of energy. When a seasonal crop is used as a feedstock in a batch digestion method, storing of the biomass ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1971)Within the past five years all of higher education has been challenged to justify its very existence. Accountability is demanded of the goals and the procedures. Hopefully, out of this challenge will grow and develop a ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)This dissertation describes an approach for the autogeneration of simulation models from descriptions of the domain given by experts. There has been a great deal of work which addresses the gap between real world situations ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)This research was undertaken to determine the repeatability of the deviation in auditory flutter fusion when utilized as a measure of induced mental stress and to evaluate the ability of auditory flutter fusion to reflect ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)This dissertation develops an analysis of the stochastic behavior of a GI / GI / $infty$ queue. The GI / GI / $infty$ queueing system is analyzed under the steady state and transient operating conditions. System behavior ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1994)This research addresses certain problems associated with assembly systems, namely the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP), the workload smoothing problem (WSP), and the single-product assembly system design problem ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Driving accidents among the elderly are suspected to be related to visual information processing of briefly presented objects in the periphery. The primary purpose of this research was to determine if simple laboratory ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Major advances in simulation techniques have resulted from refinements to our understanding of the modeling and analysis processes. Previous work has provided the framework for advances in the three major support technologies ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)The need for cost-effective usability evaluation has led to the development of alternative usability methods. Reducing the number of participants in a usability test or using heuristic evaluation are the two approaches ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This dissertation describes an experimental simulation environment called MBS, for "Model Based Simulator." The dissertation presents research results in three stages: (1) MBS design goals, (2) the status of the MBS ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Dynamic programming models are typically solved by considering discrete values of the decision and state variables. Solutions are tabular inform, showing the best decision for discrete values of the state variable. For ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)The objective of this investigation was to demonstrate that a cost benefit analysis approach, a versatile decision making tool, can be utilized by the Professions of Industrial Hygiene and Safety Engineering to justify ...
