Optimal grain sorghum irrigation strategies in a dynamic, stochastic environment
(1978)
Agricultural production and associated economic effects of irrigation on the Texas High Plains are seriously threatened by a rapidly declining groundwater supply and a swift upward trend in energy costs. To optimize the ...
A stochastic network simulation model for the Texas certificate of need review process as relates to general hospital bed expansion
(1978)
A review of the literature related to hospital utilization as well as the Texas Certificate of Need (CON) process revealed no comprehensive, consistent method for reviewing CON applications. To overcome this deficiency in ...
An economic analysis of the rural land market in Texas
(1978)
The rural land market in Texas has been typified for the last 30 years with general increases in values. These increases have been erratic which has resulted in uncertainty for lending institutions, agriculturalists, ...
A study of the feasibility of using forecasting models to characterize the supply of contract construction labor
(1977)
The purpose of this study were 1) to develop comprehensive construction labor supply forecasting models for several SMSAs in Texas and 2) to determine whether such models could be used to characterize construction labor ...
An economic analysis of potential agricultural adjustments in Reeves County, Texas: A mathematical programming approach with both micro and macro models
(1972)
The objectives of this study were to ascertain the costs of producing various crops and livestock enterprises in Reeves County, Texas and to determine through appropriate analytical techniques, optimum production strategies ...
Emergency medical service systems as studied through simulation modeling
(1977)
This research provides a model for the simulation of emergency medical systems. The model is a discrete-event type digital simulation utilizing the GASP Programming Language. Emergency incidents are input through an exogenous ...
A spatial modeling approach to pelagic ecosystems
(1977)
A modeling technique is developed and applied to two different marine ecosystems problems. The technique approaches marine systems through the mathematical modeling of spatial patterns and deals with spatial heterogeneity ...
Supply response of Texas agricultural commodities
(1978)
Few empirical studies have developed estimates of the interrelationships in supply of many agricultural commodities produced in the U. S. or in any diversified region. This study uses a linear supply model with a constant ...
Adaptive planning for Texas cattle producers facing uncertain prices
(1979)
Cattle producers typically react to cyclical prices by increasing the size of the breeding herd as price increases and decreasing it as price decreases. Current decisions to cull and/or replace cows are based on such data ...
Revenue forecasting models for small municipalities in Texas
(1979)
The major objective of this dissertation was to investigate if existing revenue forecasting models could be modified to provide useful predictive models for revenues of small Texas municipalities. Specifically, an attempt ...
