A cost reduction analysis is performed by coordinating
the exchange of LANDSAT (formerly ERTS) data between a CDC
3300 and a PDP8/L minicomputer. The LANDSAT data is displayed
on a 4002 Tektronix terminal by means of a grayscale output.
Large amounts of data and number manipulation are processed
in the...
The author investigates a FORTRAN program designed to find
all solutions of two nonlinear polynomial equations in two unknowns.
For the method of Sylvester to be a method adaptable to a
general purpose solver in this area, it will be necessary to have
multiple precision capability combined with a much...
This study was a systematic investigation of four Chinese textile
motifs-- the fret, swastika, Shou and Hsi. The purpose of this study
was to analyze the variations in these motifs and their uses on textiles.
The literature concerned the origin, meaning, variation and use of
these four motifs and the...
To investigate the movement of elements (N, P, k, Ca, and Mg) from the tree crowns by natural litterfall and leave wash, plots were established on six 450 year-old growth stands at the H. J. Andrews Experimental Forest. The following are the results of the data analyses. Elemental concentrations contained...
In this study, three main issues are discussed: possible bias
arising when inflation effects are neglected in engineering economy
studies, capital projects authorization forms which are not designed
to include inflation effects in the calculations,'and the introduction
of a new graphical technique for capital expenditure sensitivity
analysis.
Approaches are described...
Algorithms capable of automatically drawing Resource Planning and Management (RPM) network models from standard Linear Programming data files are developed. An RPM network is a unique graphical representation that is capable of representing both the primal and the dual model of a mathematical programming problem on a same network model....
