Adaptive control requirements for the quadriparetic driver
(1979)
One of the needs of the rehabilitation industry in the United States is definitive information on the capability of severely injured patients. As a beginning toward satisfying this need, this research reports the levels ...
Optimum packaging design and component sparing policies for repairable complex systems
(1970)
The primary objective of this research is to provide an analytical solution to the problem of optimizing the design of repairable complex systems. Failed modules are considered to be either repairable or throw-away. The ...
A standard procedure for the prediction of system availability as utilized in system effectiveness evaluations
(1972)
This project accomplishes the basic and applied research concerning the prediction of system availability so that a handbook of system availability model solutions and techniques for the estimation, allocation and optimization ...
Auditory flutter fusion as a measure of environment on mental stress
(1970)
This research was undertaken to determine the repeatability of the deviation in auditory flutter fusion when utilized as a measure of induced mental stress and to evaluate the ability of auditory flutter fusion to reflect ...
Determination of corporate objectives and evaluation of alternative strategies through the use of simulation models
(1970)
The primary objective of this research is the development of a series of computer simulation models which will demonstrate the feasibility of using simulation techniques to assist management in strategic planning. The ...
An exact piecewise differentiable parameter-free penalty function
(1979)
In this dissertation, the problem of optimizing a nonlinear objective function subject to linear and/or nonlinear constraints is considered. When the constraints are nonlinear, it is particularly advantageous to transform ...
The scope of obligatory union representation of bargaining unit members during the contractual period
(1973)
The primary objective of this dissertation is to support the proposition that an employee, accused of misconduct, be afforded the same rights as are provided the accused in a criminal investigation. The point is established, ...
A modular processor for generalized multistage optimization
(1971)
The objective of this research has been to develop a modular processor for the generalized multistage optimization. This processor is intended to be appropriate for a variety of uses, including practical optimization ...
Peripheral and foveal information decoding capacity of the human eye under intermittent photic stimuli
(1971)
The binocular information decoding capacity of the human eye was measured using the number of correctly identified Landolt rings out of fifteen, the number of completely correctly identified three-ring messages out of five, ...
Feasibility of predicting human manual dynamic performance, push, and pull from static effort and anthropometric data
(1971)
It was determined from this research that human manual dynamic performance, push, and pull can be predicted from s ta tic strength and anthropometric data. Forty right-handed male college students between 18 and 35 years ...
