This paper documents the development of a model which determines multiple stump anchor system displacement as a response to skyline load for four anchor rigging configurations: 1. Series multiple, 2. Tieback, 3. Elevated tieback, and 4. Equalizer block. It also documents the field testing of four two stump anchors rigged...
The tack coat bond is known to affect the longevity of asphalt pavements. Proper interlayer bonding prevents successive pavement layers from acting independently of one another and creating non-uniform stress and strain profiles in the pavement structure. Poor bonding between pavement layers can result in various pavement failures such as...
The Garnet Range-Bearmouth area of western Montana was the
depositional site for basinal, platform slope, shelf, and
peritidal Mississippian carbonate rocks. The following
stratigraphic units, listed in ascending order, are recognized:
the Paine Limestone, Middle Canyon Formation, Mission Canyon
Limestone, and McKenzie Canyon Limestone of the Tendoy Group; the
Kibbey...

This thesis is concerned with the problem of developing a
method to categorize probability models by their outlier properties.
There have been two such categorization methods proposed in the
literature. Neyman and Scott (1971) classify an entire family of
distributions into the outlier properties outlier-prone completely
(OPC) and outlier resistant....
Expert systems is an area of artificial intelligence that shows promise for a wide
variety of applications, particularly in solving problems that have always been considered
too large and complex for solution by conventional approaches. However, the process of
eliciting expertise from an expert, knowledge acquisition, is recognized as the...
The Great Salt Lake is typical of Great Basin
and other arid land saline lakes in morphological and
chemical characteristics. As with other terminal
lakes, the level of Great Salt Lake is determined by
the variable weather patterns that are typical of
arid and semi-arid regions. Because of it's flat,...
