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...
The purpose of this thesis is to argue that LeBron James’ expressions of activism are, in many ways, perceived as insincere, hypocritical or disingenuous to his followers on the social media platform Twitter. Using the theoretical framework of Affect Theory and Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, a close reading was conducted...
An iterative approach is suggested for the estimation
of the error covariance matrix [sigma] to find approximate BLUE
estimators in linear regression models.
It is shown through
experimental studies how the variances can be estimated in
the simple general linear regression model, in the linear
regression model sequenced over time,...
A Bayesian approach to the analysis of a two-phase linear
regression model is given. It is assumed that the regression model is
continuous at the change point. The likelihood function is expressed
in a form which explicitly contains the continuity restriction. The
natural conjugate prior distribution for the likelihood function...
Traditional interpretations of James Joyce's Dubliners have often focused on the pervasive "paralysis" of the city, covered in the stories' range of "childhood, adolescence, maturity, and public life." However, these approaches have limited their focus on the women in the stories, often spotlighting the male characters--and the author--through a Freudian...
This thesis addresses the problem of deciding whether or not
two disjoint random samples that are fitted by the same regression
equation emanate from the same parental population. Two situations
are considered. The first situation is where the two disjoint samples
are individually fitted with the regression equation. The second...
This paper is concerned with the application of
hierarchial and parallel computing structures to digital
data communications processing in a multi-access telecommunications
environment. Designs are analyzed and
evaluated in terms of data collected from remote access
tele-communications traffic and in terms of the application
to several processing problems in the...
In October 1977, a study was undertaken to determine the role of bovine adenovirus type 3 in enzootic pneumonia of calves, and the efficacy of using a vaccine for prevention of disease. Bovine adenovirus type 3 was isolated from the herd under study in the previous year. Calves in the...
