Development of methods for evaluating formation permeability using data from logs and cores
(1992)
Two methods have been developed for evaluating formation permeability using log data. One method is an integrated simulation technique that can be used to analyze time-lapse logging measurements. The second method involves ...
Communication strategies on dropout prevention as perceived by public school superintendents and public relations directors
(1992)
The primary purpose of this study was to identify dropout prevention, communication strategies that can be used by administrators to assist them in keeping students in school. These strategies were derived from the perceptions ...
Affect and cognition interface in aesthetic experiences of landscapes
(1992)
The purpose of this study was to develop a comprehensive theory of landscape experience that provides logical explanations for both similar and different landscape evaluations. In order to achieve this purpose, a new ...
Thermal modeling of a nickel-hydrogen battery
(1992)
The maximum temperature difference allowed inside a nickel-hydrogen battery to avoid water relocation was calculated by a graphical method using the vapor pressure versus temperature correlation equation for water and ...
Information-based complexity applied to numerical transport theory
(1992)
In this work, we apply a recently developed theory, information-based complexity, to numerical transport theory. Two classes of information, cell-average information and point-evaluation information, and two popular ...
Improved sucker-rod system design and optimization
(1992)
A new sucker-rod simulator saves computer run time and provides sufficient accuracy for conceptual sucker-rod-system design. A new method expands the scope of the American Petroleum Institute's Recommended Practice (RP) ...
Relationship of the locus of control orientation of graduate students in education to their success in pursuing a doctorate degree
(1992)
The purpose of this study was three fold: first, to determine the locus of control (LOC) orientation of doctoral students using the Internal (I), Powerful Others (P), and Chance (C) Scales, developed by Dr. Hanna Levenson; ...
Wave drift damping and motion of a moored vessel in random seas
(1992)
Experimental measurements of the surge drift motion of a soft-moored barge in random waves are compared to the results of an improved numerical simulation employing a quadratically nonlinear Volterra functional polynomial ...
An in vitro system for determining the dissolution of transuranic oxides deposited in the lung
(1992)
Methods currently available to assess dose from inhalation exposures to the transuranic oxides cannot accommodate the variety of exposure materials, nor the dissolution rates of the materials within the lungs. The purpose ...
Who initiates restructuring : the effects of managerial versus board controls and characteristics
(1992)
The purpose of this research is to examine the question of who initiates restructuring, the board or top management. The proposed model of who initiates restructuring incorporates organizational economics (agency theory ...
