Abstract:: The spatial and temporal behavior of invasive species spread implies that optimal management strategies involve decisions over space and time. Dispersal and propagule pressure are two primary drivers of the spatial-temporal ecological process of species invasion. In the case of riparian communities, stream flow drives the dispersal of vegetation propagules....

Creator:: Yoon, Won Byong
Abstract:: Least cost formulations for surimi seafood were studied by linear programming (LP) and nonlinear programming (NLP). The effects of water and starches on functional properties of Alaska pollock and Pacific whiting surimi gels were investigated. Six starches (modified potato starch, potato starch, modified wheat starch, wheat starch, modified waxy corn...

Abstract:: A cost function characterizes a firm's cost-minimizing behavior. It is defined as a function of the level of outputs produced and the prices of factors which enter the production process. Econometric estimation of a cost function allows one to test hypotheses regarding the structure of cost and the structure of...

Creator:: Hall, Kim M.
Abstract:: Quarantines and control programs are two policy tools used to prevent and reduce the damages caused by invasive species. Quarantines restrict the movement of material that could spread invasive species. Their requirements impose costs on businesses within the quarantine zone by creating barriers to trade and increasing production costs, which...

Creator:: Fitzpatrick, Mark W.
Abstract:: An analytical method for predicting life-cycle maintainability labor costs is developed. The purpose of the analytical method is to allow the evaluation of products, based on life-cycle labor cost, early in the design process. The Boeing 737-300/400/500 Bleed Air Control System is used as a test model, and the results...
