Models of radiation damage for assessing controlled thermonuclear reactor design limitations with refractory metal first walls
(1976)
The results of a modeling study of the swelling, creep and embrittlement of niobium used as the first wall of a controlled thermonuclear reactor are presented. The temperature dependence was surveyed from 400°C to 900°C. ...
A study of causal relationships, expectations, and the demand for money during three hyperinflations
(1978)
The theory of inflation and its effects on economic variables such as exchange rates and rates of change in the money stock has been developed to a large extent within the last twenty years. The recent inflationary pressure ...
Liability management and floating-rate loan pricing as risk responses by commercial banks in providing agricultural credit
(1979)
Availability of credit to the farm sector through commercial banks has been a topic of concern for more than a decade. This study examines an operating policy for commercial banks which would tend to increase availability ...
Reflection and refraction of solitary waves : a numerical investigation
(1977)
Solitary waves represent an unambiguous tool for the initial study of the propagation of long, nonlinear, dispersive water waves. A numerical model, based on an appropriate set of equations for approximating these waves ...
A stochastic network simulation model for the Texas certificate of need review process as relates to general hospital bed expansion
(1978)
A review of the literature related to hospital utilization as well as the Texas Certificate of Need (CON) process revealed no comprehensive, consistent method for reviewing CON applications. To overcome this deficiency in ...
Prices, inventories, and capacity : a theoretical-empirical study of the downstream petroleum industry
(1978)
Petroleum is the major source of energy in our society today. Few, if any, products on the market are not either made directly from petroleum or produced by a process involving petroleum at least as a fuel. Neoclassical ...
A modeling analysis of lake ecosystem responses to inorganic fertilization
(1977)
Separate mathematical models for phytoplankton and fish were developed to describe nominal dynamics and responses to single applications of fertilizer in Postoak Lake, Texas. Models were based on data from three fertilization ...
Optimization of the second order logarithmic machining economics problem by extended geometric programming
(1978)
The theory of geometric programming is extended to include a new function with logarithmic exponents. The function, defined as a Quadratic Posylognomial (QPL) is a series of nonlinear product terms with positive coefficients ...
Supply and demand for slaughter beef in the U.S. : a disaggregated econometric approach
(1978)
Analyses of commodity supply and demand functions generally do not evaluate relationships within the components of the commodity. Such aggregative approaches sometimes lead to generalizations with ambiguous conclusions. ...
