The economic aspects of quality control have received wide concern since its developmental stages, however, they have not been sufficiently explored. Moreover, as the need for complex products of high precision and reliability increases, most industrial firms have experienced some difficulties in meeting that need at reasonable costs with their...

In an effort to determine empirical cost functions for municipal
water supplies in the United States, the writer found it necessary to
specify an acceptable mathematical form to represent the cost equation.
A preliminary search yielded no theoretically consistent expression
adaptable to the problem.
The primary concern in the studstimay...
A second-order nonlinear diffraction theory is developed for a
large diameter circular cylinder under the action of surface gravity
waves of finite amplitude in water of-finite depth. Boundary value
problems are derived by using a perturbation expansion and the
solutions for the diffracted waves are given in terms of Fredholm...
Production and marketing are two important activities of the
U.S. beef industry. Spatial differences in these activities result
due to the existing cost differences in production and marketing of
beef. The overall objective of this study is to determine simultaneously
interregional and interseasonal equilibrium, with respect
to beef production and...
Edible tree nut and peanut industries are important agricultural
industries in the United States. Major tree nuts produced
domestically are almonds, filberts, pecans,and walnuts. The United
States imports and exports some quantities of these tree nuts and
peanuts, but at the same time the U.S. imports cashew, brazil,
pignolia, and...
