Ocean color, a theoretical study using matrix operator theory
(1982)
Matrix Operator theory has been extended for application to "Ocean Color" related problems. Required to extend the theory, specialized quadrature methods and both reflection and transmission operators, representing the ...
A model to analyze the export grain transportation system
(1982)
Agricultural exports have shown a substantial increase during the 1970s and are expected to continue to grow during the 1980s. Because grain is a low-valued, bulky commodity, international grain flows are very sensitive ...
An adaptive application of multiquadric interpolants for numerically modeling large numbers of irregularly spaced hydrographic data
(1982)
The approximation or interpolation of irregularly spaced data in two or higher dimensions is extremely difficult in contrast to the one dimensional case. No one method works well in all instances with the possible exception ...
Confidence limits for the global optimum
(1982)
For many optimization problems approximate or near-optimal solutions are the only practical solutions available. This dissertation identifies and compares some procedures which use independent near-optimal solutions to ...
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 ...
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 mathematical model for simultaneous determination of vascular and extravascular permebilities within the microcirculation
(1982)
The diffusive transport process of macromolecules across the capillary wall and into the extravasculature is mathematically modelled by Fick's diffusion equation in the cylindrical co-ordinate system. No ad hoc assumptions ...
An allocation model for tourism investment
(1982)
Tourism is a complex and economically significant factor in the economy of many areas of the world including the United States. Investment decisions for tourism are often made without considering all salient factors. This ...
The effect of wave-current interactions on the hydrodynamic loading of large offshore structures
(1982)
The influence of wave-current interactions on the fluid loading of large offshore structures has been investigated by extending the conventional diffraction theory approach to include the changes in the incident and scattered ...
