Monte Carlo evidence on consumer surplus estimation using parametric and semiparametric models
(1994)
Monte Carlo experiments are conducted to investigate consumer surplus derived from parametric and semiparametric models. The experiments are designed to simulate censored and truncated recreation demand data under different ...
Reconfiguration algorithms for fault tolerance in hypercubes
(1994)
Recently, a cost-effective and feasible approach to supercomputing by connecting a large number of processors has been offered by hypercube multicomputers. However, a major drawback of such systems is that a single processor ...
Variability and predictability of the surface temperature field on a zonally symmetric land planet
(1991)
An information approach to the study of climate predictability is introduced. This approach uses various information measures based on entropy to define the limits of predictability and to quantify the information given ...
Influence of sand-sized aggregate particles on permanent deformation in asphalt concrete pavements
(1991)
The presence of sand-sized aggregate particles play a very important role in the rutting performance of asphalt concrete pavements. The influence that these particles have on permanent deformation is investigated in this ...
Effect of group size on learning via interactive video instruction in nursing education
(1993)
This pre-post comparison study was conducted at a two-year institution with a sample of 93 first year nursing students. Different group sizes were used with interactive video instruction (IVI) in a curriculum unit on nursing ...
Evangelical protestants and the prohibition movement in Texas, 1887-1919
(1993)
The trials and tribulations of the prohibition movement in Texas between 1887 and 1919 challenge the popular stereotype of evangelical Protestant hegemony in the Lone Star State. Despite the fact that the Texas political ...
Pyrethroid resistance in flies : development of a resistance monitoring technique and studies on the mechanism of resistance in horn flies and house flies
(1990)
Biotic potentials were measured for susceptible and pyrethroid-resistant horn flies, Haematobia irritans (L.). Resistant horn flies were less fit than susceptible flies. Pyrethroid-resistance was a reproductive disadvantage ...
An experimental comparison of robot kinematic calibration methods
(1992)
It has been shown that the kinematic calibration can help to improve the accuracy of the industrial robot. This research has involved using two different calibration methods, the CMM and VBAT, to calibrate PUMA 560 ...
The effects of the [beta]â‚‚ agonists fenoterol on the contractile and biochemical properties of skeletal muscle
(1990)
The purpose of this study was to determine if long-term administration of the β2 adrenergic agonist, fenoterol, would increase myosin content and peak tetanic tension in skeletal muscle. A group of 26 male grass frogs ...
