Operations research is concerned with the science of decision and uses mathematical models to aid in making these decisions. In this thesis operations research is used in connection with the lumber industry. The problem of concern has to do with a lumber company that is unable to supply the mill...
The purpose of this study was to gain information regarding
interrelationships among homemakers' expressed satisfaction with
their houses, their expressed hierarchy of values and house design
scores.
The sample consisted of 40 homemakers who lived in owner-occupied residences located in Corvallis, Oregon, constructed since
1955, and ranging in size from...
G. F. Drukarev has given a method for solving the Fredholm
equations which arise in the study of collisions between electrons
and atoms. He transforms the Fredholm equations into Volterra
equations plus finite algebraic systems. H. Brysk observes that
Drukarev's method applies generally to a Fredholm integral equation
(I-λ G)u...
Fabricated steel beam specimens with rectangular holes cut in
the webs were subjected to load tests to analyze the behavior of the
modified section. Beam-depth to hole-depth ratio was in all cases
2.0; however, ratio of hole length to hole height varied from 2.0 to
3.0. The primary instrumentation of...
A lack of reliable criteria for designing tile drainage systems
in the Willamette Valley has lead to tile drainage installations in a
given soil series being based on general observations of previous
drain performance in the series. Relatively few quantitative measurements,
which would aid in designing economical installations,
have been...
