Computer-aided problem solving in southern pine beetle management
(1984)
Problem solving in integrated pest management (IPM) is a complex procedure involving the use of mathematical models and rapidly proliferating information. The effectiveness of an IPM decision-maker is a function of how ...
Effects of variable force coefficients Cd and Cm on the dynamic response of a Tension-Leg Platform
(1985)
The Morison hydrodynamic force prediction equation is commonly used to compute the wave forces on offshore structures composed of "small members". The computations are carried out assuming that the force coefficients, C[d] ...
A computer simulation of cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for students in interdisciplinary education at Texas A & M University
(1984)
This study was undertaken to develop a computer simulation model which would be able to simulate cognitive-style-related learning behaviors for a group of students. Studies and research findings have suggested that behaviors ...
Analysis procedures for determining sawmill efficiencies
(1983)
SAMTAM--Sawmill Analysis Model from Texas A&M was developed in three versions: (1) in Fortran for a mainframe computer, (2) in Applesoft for the Apple II, and (3) for the TI-59 calculator. SAMTAM is better than other models ...
Multiple objective decision making using goal programming techniques : an interactive microcomputer approach
(1985)
An interactive microcomputer-based system to support multiple objective decision making predicated upon goal programming techniques has been developed. Two major phases constitute this research. In the first phase, performance ...
The restructuring of a forage fish community following large-scale aquatic vegetation control
(1987)
Following eradication of submersed aquatic vegetation by grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) in Lake Conroe, Texas, substantial shifts in the structure of the forage fish community occurred. Density and/or standing crop ...
The prediction and measurement of incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal
(1986)
A computational/experimental study was conducted on the incompressible flow in a labyrinth seal at a variety of leakage rates and seal rotation rates. The predictions were obtained using a finite difference code that ...
Economic evaluation model of highway improvement projects
(1984)
The increased emphasis on the existing public highway system has highlighted the usefulness of economic analysis in the highway project selection process, but it has also highlighted the deficiencies of existing methods ...
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 ...
A sensitivity analysis of traffic assignment
(1988)
The assignment procedure is a powerful tool in the modeling process for the evaluation of land-use and transportation system alternatives. It is generally believed that traffic assignment is highly dependent upon the trip ...
