Role And Responsibilities Of State Cooperative Extension Services For Wildlife Damage Control, James L. Byford
Role And Responsibilities Of State Cooperative Extension Services For Wildlife Damage Control, James L. Byford
Wildlife Damage Management Conference
The Cooperative Extension Service was established by the Smith-Lever Act in 1914. It was designed to improve the lives of people, through education in: agriculture, natural resources, home economics and community development. Its audiences include both adult and youth. 4-H is the primary youth audience. The Cooperative Extension Service is an "extension" of the Land employees include university faculty (specialists) and professional agents in every county, in every state in the country. Extension's primary mission is to conduct an educational program, using research-based information. Research results are condensed into a form that the average person can understand. The role of …
Brownian Motion Applied To Partial Differential Equations, Steven M. Mckay
Brownian Motion Applied To Partial Differential Equations, Steven M. Mckay
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This work is a study of the relationship between Brownian motion and elementary, linear partial differential equations. In the text, I have shown that Brownian motion is a Markov process, and that Brownian motion itself, and certain Stochastic processes involving Brownian motion are also martingales. In particular, Dynkin's formula for Brownian motion was shown. Using Dynkin's formula and Brownian motion, I then constructed solutions for the classical Dirichlet problem and the heat equation, given by Δu=0 and ut= 1/2Δu+g, respectively. I have shown that the bounded solution is unique if Brownian motion will always exit the domain of …
The Reconstruction Conjecture In Graph Theory, Susan M. Loveland
The Reconstruction Conjecture In Graph Theory, Susan M. Loveland
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
In this paper we show that specific classes of graphs are reconstructible; we explore the relationship between the reconstruction and edge-reconstruction conjectures; we prove that several classes of graphs are actually Harary to the reconstructible; and we give counterexamples reconstruction and edge-reconstruction conjectures for infinite graphs.
Multiple Shooting, Monique St-Maurice
Multiple Shooting, Monique St-Maurice
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The purpose of this report was to study the Multiple Shooting method, a numerical method to solve boundary value ordinary differential equation. A FORTRAN program was written to solve the specific problem.
y'' = -y, y(0) = 0, y(π/2) = 1
on a microcomputer, using the microsoft FORTRAN compiler and the 8087 coprocessor.
Monte Carlo Simulation Of The Game Of Twenty-One, Douglas E. Loer
Monte Carlo Simulation Of The Game Of Twenty-One, Douglas E. Loer
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the application of computer simulation to the game of Twenty-One to predict a player's expected return from the game. Twenty-One has traditionally been one of the most popular casino games and has attracted much effort to accurately estimate the house's true advantage. Probability theory has been tried, but the thousands of different combinations of cards possible in all hands throughout the entire pack make it practically impossible to apply probability theory without overlooking some possibilities. For this reason, Twenty-One is a perfect candidate for simulation. By blocking several simulations, normal theory can …
Comparison Of Bootstrap And Jacknife Statistical Procedures, Amanuel Gobena
Comparison Of Bootstrap And Jacknife Statistical Procedures, Amanuel Gobena
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
This report compares the bootstrapping to jacknifing statistical procedures in terms in bias, confidence interval and estimation of median. Related literature have been reviewed. A bootstrap allows a researcher to get an approximation to the distribution of possibly complicated statistical summaries. It is based on random sampling with replacement from experimental units. Jacknife has also been in operation prior to bootstrapping statistical procedure. The jacknife divides the data into subgroups and obtains partial estimates of these subgroups by omitting one subgroup at a time. When both of these statistical resampling procedures are compared the bootstrap has less bias, more accurate …
