Design and analysis of buffered Multistage Interconnection Networks
(1994)
Multistage Interconnection Network (MIN) has gained widespread popularity in both multiprocessor and ATM switching applications because of its cost-effectiveness structure. Thus, design and analysis of high performance MIN ...
Application of pullout test fracture strength and theory toward a quality management system for controlling concrete pavement cracks
(1994)
For fracture mechanics theory to be applied toward the design and construction of concrete pavements and structures, in-place testing technology is needed to provide fracture mechanics properties. Two instrumented pullout ...
Monte Carlo evidence on consumer surplus estimation using parametric and semiparametric models
(1994)
Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to investigate consumer surplus derived from parametric and semiparametric models. The experiments are designed to simulate censored and truncated recreation demand data under different ...
Reconfiguration algorithms for fault tolerance in hypercubes
(1994)
Recently, a cost-effective and feasible approach to supercomputing by connecting a large number of processors has been offered by hypercube multicomputers. However, a major drawback of such systems is that a single processor ...
Fissure characteristics related to moisture adsorption stresses in rice
(1994)
Rice kernels may develop fissures due to internal stresses when subjected to moisture adsorbing environments. Rice kernels were initially conditioned to three equilibrium relative humidities (ERH) of 46, 62, and 80%, and ...
Determination of thermodynamic properties of natural gas mixtures by direct and indirect methods
(1994)
Experimental temperatures and pressures were obtained using a Burnett-isochoric apparatus, and corresponding densitites derived for two mistures of carbon dioxide (1) and hydrogen sulfide (2); x1 = 0.7067, x2 = 0.2933 and ...
Test for change in a mean function when the data are dependent
(1994)
Detecting changes in the mean of a stochastic process is important in, for example, quality control problems. We develop powerful tests for the null hypothesis that the underlying mean is constant against very general ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of organized convective lines
(1994)
An extensive study of organized convection is carried out through an analytical approach and numerical modeling, with specific emphasis on the dynamics of two-dimensional convective lines. A hierarchical generalization of ...
Computer simulation studies of radiation damage to biomolecules : gamma-ray irradiation of polyuridylic acid
(1994)
The objective o f this dissertation is to investigate the physical and chemical mechanisms involved when ionizing radiation interacts with biological m olecules in aqueous solution. Polyuridylic acid has been selected as ...
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry detection of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites in fish and its applications in environmental studies
(1994)
The Great Lakes are surrounded by heavily industrialized regions. High frequency of hepatocellular neoplasm in fish has been found. This study was undertaken to assess the environmental contamination by analyzing polycyclic ...
