Counseling is a novel in three parts structurally and metaphorically comparing
and contrasting the workings of the brain and mind.
Through the story of a man recovering from a head injury I am creating a world
in the text which equates the schizophrenia of postmodern criticism with the literal
problems...
This thesis is intended to provide the management of small to medium sized job shop companies with a written plan to implement a formal computerized manufacturing planning and control system. The research stemmed from a case study performed at a typical job shop where growth of production activities was complicating...
Daily commercial albacore catches made by U. S. trollers fishing
off central California and Oregon are correlated with daily upwelling
indices and predictive catch models are developed.
Models predicting total catch/day and catch/boat/day are
formulated for the region off central California in 1961 to 1963 and
off Oregon in 1967...
Since its creation in 1948, the African Franc Zone
currency (the CFA franc) was pegged to the French franc at an
unchanged fifty to one parity. This study examines the trade
effect of this fixed exchange rate on the Franc Zone's member
countries. Cameroon cotton exports is considered on a...
A series of observing system simulation experiments (OSSE) is performed on a simulated data
set which was designed to mimic the wind-forced response of the tropical Pacific ocean. This
data set was constructed by adding random perturbations to the FSU monthly mean pseudostress
anomaly data. These perturbed pseudostress anomaly fields...
The POM-SAT model for comparing air and
ground temperatures is based on the supposition that surface
air temperature (SAT) records provide a good prediction
of thermal transients in the shallow subsurface of the Earth.
This model consists of two components, the forcing function
and an initial condition, termed the pre-observational...
Seed processors now use magnetic cleaning to remove noxious weed
seeds and other contaminants from smooth crop seeds like those of
alfalfa. In the present practice, the contaminant allowances permitted for
certified seeds are frequently exceeded, or high crop losses are sustained
in meeting the standard. The importance of iron...
