A model for the evaluation of selected inventory policies for the feed blending problem
(1971)
The purpose of this research is to provide analytical methods for inventory control in the feed blending business. The application of simulation techniques is currently used by large feed mills to plan inventory control ...
Variational methods in the solution of certain dynamic optimization problems in operations research
(1971)
The objective of this research is to apply the powerful mathematical techniques of the classical calculus of variations and Pontryagin's maximum principle to the modeling and subsequent solution of dynamic problems in ...
Transformed quasi-newton method for unconstrained signomial minimization
(1979)
A transformed Quasi-Newton algorithm has been developed for the optimization of unconstrained functions. It is applicable when the function or its gradient vector is in the form of a signomial. The algorithm utilizes the ...
Methodology for systematic planning of regional water management
(1972)
The purpose of this dissertation is to present methodology for systematic planning of regional water management. The text is divided into four major sections. The first section presents stochastic formulation for obtaining ...
Measurement and analysis of glare recovery
(1973)
Glare recovery is defined as the visual phenomenon associated with the return of retinal sensitivity to the pre-glare level after a short duration exposure to intense light. Experimentation with an existing glare recovery ...
A model for predicting driver workload in the freeway environment: a feasibility study
(1973)
As freeway interchanges and other highway design features increase in complexity and sophistication, the limit of man's ability to perceive and process information is approached. Current freeway speed zones and requirements ...
Cost benefit analysis of local exhaust ventilation systems
(1977)
The objective of this investigation was to demonstrate that a cost benefit analysis approach, a versatile decision making tool, can be utilized by the Professions of Industrial Hygiene and Safety Engineering to justify ...
Emergency medical service systems as studied through simulation modeling
(1977)
This research provides a model for the simulation of emergency medical systems. The model is a discrete-event type digital simulation utilizing the GASP Programming Language. Emergency incidents are input through an exogenous ...
A two-echelon inventory control model for expendable items with considerations for inventory investment, order volume, and system performance
(1972)
The model developed in this dissertation describes a two-echelon inventory control system consisting of one depot, m bases, and an inventory of n items. The system particularly addressed is the Air Force depot/base supply ...
A study of selected variables affecting the loss control performance of chemical plants in Texas and Louisiana
(1978)
The primary objective of this research was to determine if, in chemical plants, a statistically significant relationship exists between past loss control performance, effectiveness of management and quality of loss control ...
