A consistent analysis of Boussinesq-type water wave equations in continuous and discrete form
(1983)
Previous derivations of the continuum Boussinesq-type equations are investigated and compared through a nondimensional order-of-approximation to establish a unique equation set. The resulting continuum equation set is ...
Classification based on dichotomous and continuous variables : Krzanowski's procedure
(1983)
This dissertation reports an evaluation of Krzanowski's location model approach to discriminant analysis. Three of Krzanowski's assumptions (all binary means equal within-population, all binary correlations equal ...
Determining dispersion parameters to predict ground-water contamination
(1983)
Use of contaminant transport models to predict the potential for ground-water pollution at waste disposal sites has been hindered by lack of methods to determine dispersion parameters. As an aid to overcome this difficulty, ...
Catalytic properties of alkali metal-graphite intercalation compounds
(1983)
Identities, as well as purities, of synthesized alkali metal-graphite intercalation compounds were confirmed by X-ray diffraction methods. Second-stage compounds (MC(,24), M = K, Rb, or Cs) adsorb large amounts of nitrogen ...
Adjusting to diminishing water supplies in irrigated agriculture
(1983)
The purpose of this dissertation is to analyze econometrically the adjustments that occur in irrigated agriculture in response to increases in the cost of obtaining groundwater. In recent years there has been a growing ...
Comparative performance and basis for differences among sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) hybrids from differenct periods of sorghum improvement
(1983)
Performance tests, growth analysis, as well as evaluations of combining ability and heterosis were carried out during 1981 and 1982 seasons to determine morphological, physiological, genetic and adaptational differences ...
ADPCM speech coders with backward adaptive predictors for noisy channels
(1983)
In this paper, the use of robust backward adaptive predictors in adaptive differential pulse code modulation (ADPCM) speech coders for a 16 kb/s transmission rate is investigated. The classical adaptive transversal predictors ...
Demand for meats in the United States--at the local and national level
(1983)
Most changes in quantity of meat demanded by U.S. consumers can be explained by changes in meat prices and in consumers' disposable income. Changes in consumer tastes and preferences are other factors that influence demand. ...
Determination of the optimum solvent bank size requirement during CO₂ flooding
(1983)
This laboratory investigation studied the efficiency of water and of nitrogen as CO(,2) slug propellants, determined the optimum CO(,2) slug size required for flooding, and the effect of horizontal permeability variation ...
An inquiry regarding the state-of-the-art of work-study programs for handicapped students in secondary schools
(1983)
The purpose of this study was to identify the state of the art of work-study programs for handicapped students in secondary schools. The study was limited to work-study programs administered and supervised by special ...
