Computer performance and evaluation utilizating the resource planning and management system

Creator:: Elliott, Jimmie Lynn
Abstract:: A review of current computer performance and evaluation techniques reveals a lack of an acceptable analytic tool for optimal computer system performance and evaluation. A generalized approach to the formulation of a third generation computer system model is proposed. The approach is used to optimize computer resource utilization and to...

Hybrid computer simulation of wind-driven ocean currents

Creator:: Vithayathil, Francis Joseph
Abstract:: A simulation method using a hybrid computer is developed in this dissertation to enhance the study of wind-driven ocean circulation. The simulation is based on the mathematical model developed by Ekman. Pure digital simulation is not economical due to excessive computer time required for the solution of the partial differential...

Water and Soil Management Practices to Enhance Plant Growth, Berry Development, and Fruit Quality of Northern Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.)

Creator:: Almutairi, Khalid F.
Abstract:: Drought and mandatory water restrictions are limiting the availability of irrigation water in many important blueberry growing regions and new strategies are needed to maintain yield and fruit quality with less water. Three potential options for reducing water use, including deficit irrigation, irrigation cut-offs, and crop thinning, were evaluated for...

A geographical systems analysis of the commercial crawfish industry in south Louisiana

Creator:: Gary, Don L
Abstract:: The crawfish enterprise of South Louisiana is shown to haveexpanded as much as 18-fold since the 1950's. It is estimated(1973) that there are about 44,000 acres of managed crawfish ponds.Of the 334 ponds identified and mapped in the thesis, 231 are classedas open ponds, 45 as rice field ponds, and...

The effects of gypsum on infiltration and surface properties of some western Oregon soils

Creator:: Pronold, Michael Joseph
Abstract:: The effects of broadcast gypsum on infiltration rates, crusting, aggregate stability, and runoff and sediment yields were analyzed during the winter months on three West Oregon soils. The results were used to evaluate its utility as a management tool to help control erosion. An application rate of two metric tons...

Surface and subsurface geology of the Santa Barbara-Goleta metropolitan area, Santa Barbara County, California

Creator:: Olson, Daniel J.
Abstract:: The Santa Barbara-Montecito and Goleta basins are structurally continuous fault-controlled Pleistocene basins containing up to 3000 feet (925 m) of marine Pleistocene Santa Barbara Formation which were deposited on previously deformed Sisquoc and older strata. Structures subcropping against the unconformity at the base of the Santa Barbara Formation show that...

Electrocardiograms and related variables of dwarf beef cattle

Creator:: Pinjani, Moti, 1939-
Abstract:: Electrocardiograms from 12 compressed male (CM), 16 compressed female (CF), ten synthetic compressed female (SCF), nine brachycephalic female (BF), and 15 dolichocephalic female (DF) dwarfs from Davis, California, taken in the scapular lead S-II (prescapular position positive and right forelimb negative) were analyzed, The data on dwarf electrocardiograms were compared...

Structure of the southern Mormon Mountains, Clark County, Nevada and regional structural synthesis : fold-thrust and basin-range structure in southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona

Creator:: Carpenter, James Anthony
Abstract:: Detailed geologic mapping in the Mormon Mountains and new geophysical data provide significant insight into contractional and extensional tectonics in southern Nevada, southwest Utah, and northwest Arizona. The rocks in the region were complexly deformed during two distinct tectonic episodes. Numerous interrelated events occurred within each episode. The first tectonic...

Thermal conductivity measurements of amorphous metal thin films via the 3ω method

Creator:: Zhan, Kai
Abstract:: Amorphous multicomponent metals have promising applications in novel electronic devices because of their atomically smooth surface morphology and lack of grain boundaries. It is important to understand the thermal transport properties of amorphous metals and an accurate measurement of their thermal conductivity will be essential for further improvement of device...

Mechanisms that influence the posttranslational modification of the GluN2B subunit in the aged brain

Creator:: Zamzow, Daniel R.
Abstract:: Memory is essential to everyday life. As we age, deficits in memory become apparent. The toll of age-related cognitive impairment can be devastating to families and costly to society. The NMDA receptor is a molecule in the brain that is instrumental in the formation of memories. The receptor is particularly...
