Population trends and patterns in species distributions are the major currencies used to examine responses by biodiversity to changing environments. Effective conservation recommendations require that models of both distribution dynamics and population trends accurately reflect reality. However, identification of the appropriate temporal and spatial scales of animal response, and then...
Branch-and-Bound algorithms are developed to optimally
schedule static single- and multi-stage job-shop productions. The 'corollary' of the study is to experimentally verify the effectiveness of
branch-and-bound algorithms to overcome the "curse of dimensionality" due to the combinatorial nature of job-shop scheduling problems.
The static scheduling problem contemplated in this dissertation...

history. In the latest revision of the standard the
switching rules were altered...
This investigation was concerned with the work values of tenth
grade girls and their relationship to the girls' aspirations and expectations
for future education and marriage-career roles.
The instrument employed for the value measurement was the
Work Values Inventory of Super (1968). An original questionnaire was
developed by the researcher...
