A computerized model for the selection of materials handling equipment and area placement evaluation (SHAPE)
(1983)
This research presents a construction algorithm for solving the facilities design problem which is the joint solution of a plant layout problem and a materials handling equipment selection problem. The emphasis in this ...
The crystal and molecular structures of some sodium and potassium exchanged zirconium bis(monohydrogen orthophosphates) : the use of powder X-ray diffraction for structure solution
(1983)
Single crystal X-ray diffraction has for many become the definitive analysis technique. The procedure to collect data and to solve structures is not only readily available but is also highly automated. This is not the case ...
The effect of the organizational environment on judgment consensus : the case for professional government auditors in the state of Texas
(1985)
This dissertation explored the judgment processes of professional government auditors (PGAs) in the evaluation of internal accounting control (IAC). The primary objective of this study was to determine whether the position ...
Sequential water stress in cotton : a sheltered lysimeter study and stress day index analysis
(1986)
A set of twelve field lysimeters were designed and installed for deficit irrigation and crop water stress studies. Permanent rainout shelters were designed to be lightweight, portable, and inexpensive. The shelters provided ...
A near-optimal solution to the rural road-bridge rehabilitation problem
(1983)
In this research a model is developed to aid decision making in the allocation of limited funds in the improvement of a large-scale, rural road-bridge transportation system. After applying a geographic decomposition scheme ...
Optimal replacement policy for a semi-Markov shock model
(1983)
We examine a failure model for a system subject to a sequence of randomly occuring shocks. A shock is any perturbation to the system which causes a random amount of damage to the system. Any of the shocks can cause the ...
The ultrastructure and secretory activity of the ventral prothoracic exocrine gland of the walnut caterpillar (Lepidoptera : Notodontidae)
(1980)
The ventral prothoracic exocrine gland (VPEG) of larvae of Datana integerrima is an unpaired sac arising as an ingrowth of the epidermis. The VPEG lies in the ventral body cavity, beneath the prothoracic nerve ganglion; ...
Molecular structures by theoretical means : applications to metal ion monohydrates, quadruply bonded dichromium(II) complexes, and carbonyl labilization in ligand substitution reactions
(1988)
Ab initio Hartree-Fock-Roothaan self-consistent-field (HFR-SCF) and generalized valence bond (GVB) geometry optimizations are used to study problems that are inaccessible to experiment. The theoretically determined molecular ...
A parametric digital signal processing algorithm for arcing high impedance fault detection
(1988)
There is a problem which currently exists in the electric utility industry with the detection of high impedance faults. A high impedance fault is one which does not draw sufficient fault current to be detected and cleared ...
The oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane : gas-phase and catalytic
(1988)
The gas-phase and the catalytic oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane were studied. Lithium-promoted magnesium oxide was investigated as the catalyst. In the gas-phase oxidation study a perfectly mixed tubular reactor was ...
