High order variational solutions of time-dependent neutron transport problems
(1985)
High order numerical solutions of the time-dependent one speed neutron transport equation are developed using cubic hermite polynomial trial functions, variational techniques, and exponential matrix operators. Two new ...
An analysis of crossflow indirect evaporative air conditioner
(1983)
With growing realization of the limitations of available energy resources, systems requiring low energy are of considerable interest at the present time. Experimental and field test results show that indirect evaporative ...
The fragmentation and flow of forage residues through the gastrointestinal tract of cattle
(1982)
The structural fragmentation of Coastal bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorium) resulting from ingestive mastication and remastication subsequent to rumination was observed microscopically and ...
Effects of variable force coefficients Cd and Cm on the dynamic response of a Tension-Leg Platform
(1985)
The Morison hydrodynamic force prediction equation is commonly used to compute the wave forces on offshore structures composed of "small members". The computations are carried out assuming that the force coefficients, C[d] ...
A computer simulation of cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for students in interdisciplinary education at Texas A & M University
(1984)
This study was undertaken to develop a computer simulation model which would be able to simulate cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for a group of students. Studies and research findings have suggested that behaviors ...
Cost, efficiency, and the optimal number of firms in spatial markets
(1982)
In markets where firms and buyers are separated by costly distance, the degree of competition is believed by some economists to be less than perfect. Under these circumstances, many economists have demonstrated through the ...
Simulation of herbage dynamics and livestock grazing
(1982)
In order to accurately describe animals at pasture, it is necessary to have dynamic, dimensionally precise expressions of the relationships among the variables of animals, forage, land area and time. A dynamic, animal-unit ...
A probabilistic forecasting model of tropical cyclone-generated storm surge for a straight coastline
(1984)
A dynamic and statistical algorithm is constructed for a probabilistic forecasting of storm surge. The three essential constituents of this algorithm are: (1) an appropriate tropical cyclone model, (2) a justified and ...
Analysis procedures for determining sawmill efficiencies
(1983)
SAMTAM--Sawmill Analysis Model from Texas A&M was developed in three versions: (1) in Fortran for a mainframe computer, (2) in Applesoft for the Apple II, and (3) for the TI-59 calculator. SAMTAM is better than other models ...
A combined serviceability and distress pavement performance model for estimating remaining service life of flexible pavements
(1983)
A procedure is developed to estimate the remaining service life of flexible pavements based upon predicted ride and distress conditions. These conditions are forecast using equations that involve measurable values of ...
