It is the purpose of this study to examine some statistically-oriented considerations which may facilitate
portfolio selection policies. Many of the preliminary
topics discussed parallel and extend the notions of
W. J. Baumol, H. M. Markowitz, and W. F. Sharpe.
The crux of the study introduces a quadratic programming

The volcanic rocks of the Harney Basin comprise a bimodal
assemblage of rhyolites (SiO₂ greater than 72%) and basalts (SiO₂
less than 52%). Tholeiitic basalts account for 15 rocks analyzed and
alkalic basalts for three. Most basalts contain phenocrysts of olivine
and plagioclase. Pyroxene phenocrysts were not found. Rhyolite
flows...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF
DONALDJAMES PARKER for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY
(Name) (Degree
The purpose of this study was to ascertain to what degree, if
any, there was a difference of opinion among students, parents and
faculty in regard to student behavior as that behavior pertained to
general conduct, drug use, mischief, sex offenses, drinking, cheating
and theft.
The research study was conducted...
Zero-field quantum beats were observed in
Lyman-Beta emission from hydrogen atoms formed by beam-foil
excitation.
The
energy dependence of the magnetic
substate relative cross sections
for the n=3, L=1 states of H was determined
for beam energies in
the range from 230 to 500 keV per atom.
The theoretical values...
Oxides of nitrogen are a concern as effluents to atmospheres
because they participate in photochemical reactions which produce
smog, because they attenuate sunlight which gives the atmosphere a
reddish brown cast, and because of their toxic properties and the
health hazards associated with the photochemical products they produce.
Oxides of...

Polymorphic site index curves for noble fir from stem analysis
data were compiled from 54 plot locations. On each plot location,
the tallest dominant noble fir was felled and sectioned. Site index
was based on total height and age at breast height, with index age
at 100 years. A graphical...
Critical Path Budgeting is introduced as an integrating tool for
project planning, coordination, and control. Through a synthesis of
budgeting and critical path scheduling, it is possible to treat the time
and cost variables of a project explicitly. Thus, one can analyze the
behavior of the firm as an approximation...
