Geostatistics: A Powerful Tool In The Evaluation Of Energy Resources, Jean-Michel M. Rendu Oct 1978

Geostatistics: A Powerful Tool In The Evaluation Of Energy Resources, Jean-Michel M. Rendu

UMR-MEC Conference on Energy / UMR-DNR Conference on Energy

Whether it is due to an increasing demand for energy resources, or to increasing environmental and technical constraints on the quality of these resources, the need for improved methods for the evaluation of low grade energy deposits is increasingly recognized. Many mineral deposits, such as uranium deposits, are characterized by skew sample value distributions, typically lognormal distributions. The purpose of this paper is to study the properties of some traditional and geostatistical methods applied to the local estimation of mineral deposits with lognormal value distribution, and to draw conclusions concerning the methods likely to give the best results. Some of …

Park Visitor Responses To Natural Hazards, Lee H. Rentz May 1978

Park Visitor Responses To Natural Hazards, Lee H. Rentz

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

Natural hazards have been an increasing problem in wildland recreation areas. This study attempted to identify factors affecting park visitor perception of and preparedness for hazards.

A model was formulated incorporating three major independent variables which might affect park visitor responses to hazards. These were: (1) previous experience, (2) information about hazards provided by the park administration (such as warnings located on signs or in brochures), and (3) visitor perception of whether responsibility for hazards rests with the individual or with an outside authority such as government or God. Trip length and knowledge of hazards were also thought to be …

Longitudinal Patterns Of Centralization And Development: Testing Theories Of Governmental Organization, Dale Krane Apr 1978

Longitudinal Patterns Of Centralization And Development: Testing Theories Of Governmental Organization, Dale Krane

Public Administration Faculty Publications

In attempting to cope with the challenges of modernization, government officials are urged by specialists in development and comparative administration to manipulate the organization of public activity. Prescriptions for altering the public sector usually advocate one of two simple but contradictory options: centralization or decentralization. Adopting one or the other of these administrative arrangements reputedly yields important benefits which have system-wide impact on the course of development.1 Unfortunately, no a priori principle exists to guide the choice between these sharply divergent alternatives. The present study was designed to compare the consequences of these organizational strategies in order to evaluate …

Reducing The Hidden Cost Of Big Government, Testimony Before The Joint Economic Committee Of The U.S. Congress Priorities In Tax Policy, Testimony Before The U.S. Senate Committee On Finance, Murray L. Weidenbaum

Murray Weidenbaum Publications

The largest and most rapid increase in government power over the private sector is not in the areas of taxation or government spending. Rather, it is the expansion of government regulation that impacts the everyday consumer, motorist, homeowner, worker, investor, taxpayer, and nation as a whole in distinct ways. It concludes by suggesting several initial reforms.
