A soil temperature model for predicting the overwintering emergence of Heliothis zea and Heliothis virescens (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)
(1985)
An existing, physically based, one dimensional numerical model for soil temperature and soil water content was adapted and validated with experimental data on soil temperature in the upper 100mm of the profile. A simpler ...
Guidance of cable drawn implements
(1987)
A combined analytical and experimental approach was used to develop the equations of motion of a 1/6 scale cable drawn model disk harrow. The lateral deviation was found to be a linear combination of the lateral force ...
An event-oriented hourly precipitation model
(1988)
A simulation model of hourly rainfall amounts was developed to provide hourly precipitation input to a water balance model. The hourly rainfall model consists of four parts: (1) daily rainfall occurrence, (2) event rainfall ...
Estimating the three-parameter Kostiakov infiltration function in furrow irrigation from advance data
(1986)
A three-parameter model was developed to evaluate the parameters (K, a, and F) in the extended Kostiakov infiltration equation when continuous flow irrigation is practiced. The model also permits the evaluation of the ...
Distance weighted method of characteristics solution for solute transport in groundwater
(1986)
Method of characteristics (MOC) solutions are widely employed in solute transport models of groundwater to estimate tracer concentration. The conventional approach to obtain average tracer concentration for the cell is to ...
Kinetics of mixed culture fermentation of multiple substrates
(1988)
Biomass hydrolyzates contain a mixture of hexoses, pentoses and disaccharides, the major components being glucose, xylose and cellobiose. These substrates generally are not all utilized with equal efficiency during ...
Modeling temperature and surface heat transfer coefficient in beef carcass cooling using finite element technique
(1985)
A two dimensional finite element model was used to predict the temperature and surface heat transfer coefficient in the cooling of beef carcasses. The middle of the loin was the location chosen for modeling. The model was ...
Simulation of two-phase flow through porous media using the finite element method
(1987)
ADD ABSTRACT.
Modeling spatial variability of localized lumber properties
(1988)
The primary objective of this research was to develop stochastic models of localized modulus of elasticity (MOE) and tensile strength (T) for laminating lumber. Detailed information on the variability of localized MOE and ...
