This thesis gives a procedure for generalizing the concept of
conditional probability applied to the case of the bivariate probability
density function.
The conditional probability density function is desired where the two variables vary according to some prescribed path Φ which lies in the plane of the two variables. Instead...
The capabilities of the coagulation-filtration process for virus
removal were evaluated by constructing and operating a one step,
2 gpm coagulation-filtration pilot plant. Multi-media filters were
used without pre-coagulation and sedimentation. A T2 bacteriophage
was used as the indicator organism. The plant was operated under
a variety of conditions in...
In an attempt to improve the mid-season forecast of filbert
production, objective measure techniques were started in 1955 on an
experimental basis. In the following years an adjusted ratio estimate
was used to forecast the filbert production. The purpose of this
study was to review the different assumptions and consider...
The purpose of this study is to determine if the problem of
scheduling instructors to classes can be formulated as a linear
program involving integer variables limited to values of zero and
one. Once such a formulation is accomplished, attempts at electronic computer solution of the problem are considered.
Specifically,...
This history concerns the scientific contributions of Charles
Babbage (1791-1871) to mathematics, to the invention of calculating
machines, and machine tools, to the development of scientific ideas
through a wide variety of scientific investigations and his involvement
in several different scientific reforms. Babbage considered himself
a philosopher in the broadest...
Incipient boiling and burnout heat fluxes were studied for sub-cooled forced convection annular flow. Small wires varying from 0.010
to 0.020 inch in diameter were used as the inner core of the annulus
and a one inch ID glass tube 24 inches long was used as the outer tube.
This...
Developing steelhead trout eggs and sac fry were examined for
wet, dry and lipid weights and for fatty acid composition over the
period from fertilization until the disappearance of the yolk sac, 69
days after fertilization. The yolk sac and embryo or fry were
separated shortly before hatching, and the...
