The transition-map-entered-variable (T-MEV) mapping technique for sequential machine design
(1978)
This dissertation proposes a new technique for sequential machine design. The technique combines the transition and map-entered-variable mapping technique into a completely alternate design procedure which simplifies the ...
The application of nonlinear programming to constrained maximum likelihood estimation
(1978)
A procedure is developed to solve constrained maximum likelihood estimation problems that arise in the determination of safe doses for suspected carcinogens. A change-of-variable transformation procedure is used to remove ...
Effect of electrical stimulation on quality-indicating, palatability and histological characteristics of beef
(1978)
A three-part study was conducted to determine the effect of electrical stimulation on the quality, palatability and histological characteristics of beef. Experiment 1 determined the effects of using various numbers of ...
The deterioration and reliability of pavements
(1978)
This study utilizes the results of full-scale field and prototype laboratory testing to develop methodology for the prediction of deterioration and assessment of the reliability of pavements. Deterministic equations are ...
Systems analysis of beef production in the western high plains of Venezuela
(1978)
The Western High Plains of Venezuela were chosen for this study. Information used to describe the physical environment and genetic parameters required to simulate beef cattle production systems was obtained from the ...
Aerial biomass production and environment of a grassland ecosystem: a model
(1978)
Simulation of changes in production within an Andropoqon-Paspalum dominated grassland ecosystem of east-central Texas was based on 36 months of environmental and 20 months of biomass data. Simulation models utilizing ...
An existential analysis of the free school movement
(1978)
The objective of this study is to analyze the underlying theoretical assumptions of the Free School Movement (1960-1974) in order to determine their relation to Existentialism. The major writings of A. S. Neill, John Holt, ...
Evaluation of Landsat MSS data for classifying and characterizing natural vegetation on a regional basis
(1978)
Landsat multispectral scanner imagery and digital data were evaluated for use in classifying and characterizing natural vegetation in northcentral Texas and southcentral Oklahoma. Landsat imagery was used to map and classify ...
A graph model for deadlock prevention
(1978)
A deadlock prevention model is developed. In the process, a relationship between two seemingly unrelated problems and their relevance to deadlock prevention problem is demonstrated. These problems are Dijkstra's n-philosophers ...
Investigations of the mechanistic details and potential synthetic applications of the di-[pi]-methane rearrangement
(1978)
The di-π-methane rearrangement has been shown to be of very general scope. During the course of a study designed to broaden the scope of this rearrangement by including a nitrogen atom in the backbone of the di-π-methane ...
