Topological Sorting is a standard computation performed on finite partial order relations, for which efficient algorithms are well known.
This work is a study of using a depth-first search of a directed graph to implement topological sorting algorithms. A new algorithm is presented, along with a discussion of how it...
Information derived from a Landsat Multispectral Scanner CMSS) scene can be used to assign individual pixels, each representing about one acre on the Earth's surface, to natural resource classes, A lineprinter can be used to generate a 1:24,000 scale map of the scene in which each symbol corresponds to a...
This paper is the result of extensive experiments, investigating the effect on typical distribution transformers when operated overexcited as much as 117% of their rated voltage.
Over the past few years Qualitative Reasoning about physical systems has emerged strongly as an important area in Artificial Intelligence. Many qualitative reasoning formalisms have been developed and applied to varied domains, namely, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, industrial control etc.
This paper examines Qualitative Process Theory [Forbus 84] formalism in...
In 19589 J. J. Lingane published an article describing the behavior of an electrolysis using controlled potential coulometry. A typical titration was an hour or more, limiting the variety of applications of the technique. Stephens, Jakob, Rigdon and Harrar looked into the many procedures that have been proposed to locate...
Motivated by a real-world problem, we study a novel setting for budgeted optimization where the goal is to optimize an unknown function f(x) given a budget. In our setting, it is not practical to request samples of f(x) at precise input values due to the formidable cost of experimental setup...
The primary objective of the study was to develop the methodology to identify broad silvicultural treatment opportunities for nonindustrial private (NIP) timberland in western Montana using Forest Survey data. The study assumes a management goal of maximum volume production at the stand level. The purpose of the stand treatments is...
Urban soils syndrome, the deterioration of soil at developed sites, acts as a primary disease
agent, causing root system necrosis by physical damage to root tissue. This condition predisposes
Douglas-fir trees to attack by fungal pathogens, including Armillaria ostoyae, brown rotters like
Phaeolus schweinitzii, and a variety of minor pathogens....
This paper describes a mathematical formulation and a computer program
in basic language for analyzing the load carrying capacity of skyline
systems using the effects of log drag. The actual log and ground geometry
are used in the analysis of the payload capacities for standing, live and
running skylines. The...
