The problem of optimization of stochastic dynamic systems with
random coefficients is discussed. Systems with both Wiener processes and uncertain random-process disturbances are dealt with in
this dissertation, and these include certain bilinear stochastic
systems. It is the purpose of this thesis to study the optimal control and, to some...
The second law of thermodynamics, through the exergy
concept, allows us to quantify and rationally cost the
consumption of exergy (irreversibility) used to drive the
heat exchange process and the effluent losses of exergy in
a heat exchanger For systems with a network of heat
exchangers, the exergy concept recognizes...
Two experiments were conducted to determine the
effects of riboflavin and pantothenic acid deficiency
on the production of clubbed down embryos in Single
Combed White Leghorn (SCWL) and Rhode Island Red (RIR)
hens.
In experiment 1, sixteen SCWL and eight RIR hens
were assigned to one of four diets calculated...
Three varieties of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) , including
two supersweet (Crisp 'N Sweet 710 and Rogers 3376) and one
normal sweet (Jubilee), were harvested at six stages of
maturity (80-72% moisture for supersweet and 75-68% moisture
for normal sweet) at three days intervals. Changes in
physical and chemical...
Studies on net carbon exchange, ¹⁴
C assimilation, and growth
analysis were done on four cultivars of high yielding soft white
winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell), Anza/Sturdy, Hill-
81, Stephens, and Yamhill, which differ in morphology, maturity,
and yield, to see if differences in production and distribution
of...
