An Analysis Of A Network Of Finite-Queue, Multiple-Server Facilities., Juanita Kaye Shukers Grau

Masters Theses

"An algorithm for listing all possible steady states and for generating the transition matrix for a series of finite-queue, multiple-server facilities is described. This algorithm is compared to a previously developed one. The new algorithm is better since it works for multiple servers and does not require an extra pseudo-facility. Using the list of states and the matrix generated by the new algorithm, exact steady state probabilities can be calculated. Then the probabilities can be used to obtain system statistics which cannot be calculated otherwise"-- Abstract, p. ii

A Study Of The Effects Of Numerical Error Propagated Through Several Independent Stages: An Electron Optics Simulation., William Donald Webster

Masters Theses

"Presented is a study, combining numerical methods in a series of stages whereby each stage provides input data to its successor. A model problem from electron optics ii is studied in which a potential field is computed, gradient vectors calculated, and trajectory equations solved. Error effects in each stage is assessed for its influence on the final results of the numerical process mimicking the model problem. Error analysis is given in Appendix A. Finally, the superiority of Spline approximations for estimating derivatives is demonstrated"-- Abstract, p. ii

Using Ibm's Information Management System To Implement A Relational Data Base, Melvin Arthur Rushton

Masters Theses

"A relational model of data has been the topic of several papers which deal with the question of the underlying design philosophy of data base systems. E. F. Codd, C. J. Date, and others have discussed the application of relation theory to formatted data, the objectives of such an approach, normalization of relations, and languages for manipulating the model (data sublanguages). Few papers have delt with storage constructs or access techniques for a relational data base. Indeed, it was not necessary that they do so, for the user of such a system is only concerned with the information available in …

System Reliability: Exact Bayesian Intervals Compared With Fiducial Intervals, Kathryn P. Berkbigler, James K. Byers

Computer Science Faculty Research & Creative Works

This paper compares numerically two different, widely used lower limit estimates for the reliability of a series system: Bayesian limits and fiducial limits. The fiducial limits are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation because of its simplicity and ease of computer programming. Subsystem failures are s-independent and exponentially distributed; life test data are available for estimating the failure rate of each system.

On The Benefactive Feature In Transitivity, Dale Ellen Gaucas

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

An elaboration on the transitivity system network introduced by M. A. K. Halliday is developed. This extension consists of a separate feature system network for the participant role of “beneficiary”. The formulation of the proposed grammar rules to conjoin this network and Halliday's is facilitated by building up the transitivity network to describe "systemically” and uniquely each type of benefactive and range clause presented by Halliday. Systemic descriptions of these clauses are given as examples throughout the discussion.

Statistical Modelling Of Computer Systems: A Review, Amrit L. Goel, Anand M. Joglekar

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

This paper briefly reviews the data dependent statistical methods useful for computer systems modelling. The techniques are classified according to their applicability toward comparison, tuning and design of computer systems. A review of publications dealing with statistical modeling of computer systems is presented and a comprehensive bibliography is included to provide a useful source of reference toward the present and potential applications of statistical methods for computer system modelling.

Analysis Of Unsteady Flow Toward Artesian Wells By Three-Dimensional Finite Elements, Yang H. Huang, Shen-Jyh Wu

KWRRI Research Reports

A three-dimensional finite element computer program was developed for analyzing unsteady flow toward artesian wells. The program is designed especially for determining the drawdown around an artesian well penetrating fully or partially a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic aquifer of irregular shape and cross section. It can also be used as a general program for aquifer simulation and evaluation. A major advantage of the program lies in the minimum amount of input data required. By assuming the top and bottom boundaries of the aquifer as two arbitrary planes, the aquifer will be divided into six- or eight-node elements, and their nodal coordinates …

Weight Distributions Of Some Classes Of Binary Cyclic Codes, Carlos R.P. Hartmann, J. R. Riek Jr., Ralph J. Longobardi

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

Let h1(x)h2(x) be the parity check polynomial of a binary cyclic code. This article presents a formula for decomposing words in the code as sums of multiples of words in the codes whose parity check polynomials are h1(x) and h2(x). This decomposition provides information about the weight distribution of the code.

Towards A Theory Of Universal Speed-Independent Modules, Robert M. Keller

All HMC Faculty Publications and Research

Of concern here are asynchronous modules, i.e., those whose activity is regulated by initiation and completion signals with no clocks being present. First a number of operating conditions are described that are deemed essential or useful in a system of asynchronous modules, while retaining an air of independence of particular hardware implementations as much as possible. Second, some results are presented concerning sets of modules that are universal with respect to these conditions. That is, from these sets any arbitrarily complex module may be constructed as a network. It is stipulated that such constructions be speed independent, i.e., independent of …

Ua35/11 Student Honors Research Bulletin, Vol. Ii, Wku Honors Program

WKU Administration Documents

Articles written by honors program students. They were originally research projects, class papers or essays written for academic credit, but in each case the student has done further work editing and improving his or her manuscript for this publication. The articles represent a broad range of interests and disciplines, and they indicate a healthy attempt on the part of at least some students to dig for deeper knowledge and understanding than is usually associated with undergraduate study.
