This thesis presents a general model for the location problem
based on integer linear programming with fixed charges. The location
problem is concerned with choosing locations for facilities
throughout a particular region or area in such a way that total costs
and expenses incurred are minimized. Although the location problem...
Certain fluids exhibit an increase in flow resistance when subjected to an electric field. This electroviscous response, known as the
Winslow effect, has been the basis for development of a unique control
medium. Applying a strong potential across the fluid causes it to
"stiffen", even to the point of ceasing...
This paper presents a theoretical study of real-time bandwidth
compression systems using the Hilbert transform and associated analytic
signal concept. An analytic signal is defined as
u(t) = s(t) + [superscript ¯]js(t) , where [superscript ¯]s(t) is the Hilbert transform of the signal
s(t). A complete discussion of the properties...
This study evaluated the effect of soil compaction on the growth
of natural regeneration on volcanic ash-influenced soils in the
southern Washington Cascades. Growth of 9 to 18 year-old sapling-.
sized Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws.) was studied on sites
ranging from 915 to 1006 m elevation in an area...
