Plowshares into swords : the decision to mobilize the National Guard in 1940
(1990)
In September 1939, as Europe went to war, the United States had an Army rated seventeenth in the world. The National Guard was a force, although partially equipped and trained, that could augment it. The Army quickly won ...
Fissure characteristics related to moisture adsorption stresses in rice
(1994)
Rice kernels may develop fissures due to internal stresses when subjected to moisture adsorbing environments. Rice kernels were initially conditioned to three equilibrium relative humidities (ERH) of 46, 62, and 80%, and ...
An investigation of the effects of variance components on the performance of job shop dispatching policies
(1990)
The objectives of this research are twofold. First, to investigate the impact of unequal processing time variances on overall shop performance. Second, to implement strategies for improving job shop performance by designing ...
Empowerment processes in shelters for battered women
(1991)
Three major dimensions of the empowerment process are identified (actors, goals, guidelines for practice) through a review of the literature on the practice of empowerment. Subsequently, empowerment is formally defined as ...
Determination of thermodynamic properties of natural gas mixtures by direct and indirect methods
(1994)
Experimental temperatures and pressures were obtained using a Burnett-isochoric apparatus, and corresponding densitites derived for two mistures of carbon dioxide (1) and hydrogen sulfide (2); x1 = 0.7067, x2 = 0.2933 and ...
Test for change in a mean function when the data are dependent
(1994)
Detecting changes in the mean of a stochastic process is important in, for example, quality control problems. We develop powerful tests for the null hypothesis that the underlying mean is constant against very general ...
Hankel approximation and its applications
(1991)
General results in the theory of Hankel operators are described first. Hankel approximation in special situations is investigated from the geometric point of view, and the AAK theory on Hankel operators on the unit disc ...
Theoretical and numerical studies of organized convective lines
(1994)
An extensive study of organized convection is carried out through an analytical approach and numerical modeling, with specific emphasis on the dynamics of two-dimensional convective lines. A hierarchical generalization of ...
Total factor productivity in Mexican manufacturing : an analysis of the sources of growth, 1975-85
(1993)
This study provides an analysis of the effects of Mexico's industrial development policies on the structure and productivity of its manufacturing base between 1975 and 1985. Because virtually every aspect of the economy ...
Developmental regulation of heat shock proteins : 70.1 in murine embryos and 70.1 and 70.4 in bovine embryos
(1993)
Heat stress causes embryonic mortality in the bovine and in the mouse. A group of proteins known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) are synthesized in response to heat stress and are thought to enhance cellular thermotolerance. ...
