Some Results On Inferences For The Gamma And Double Exponential Distributions, John Victor Grice

Doctoral Dissertations

"This dissertation is presented in publication form and consists of two articles. The first article considers testing the mean of a gamma distribution. For the case that both parameters in the ganuna distribution are unknown, approximate tests for the mean are derived and tables are provided for their implementation. The power of the tests are compared to the power of the uniformly most powerful tests on the mean when the shape parameter is known. In addition, some limiting results are derived. The second article compares conditional and unconditional methods of constructing confidence intervals for the location parameter in the two-parameter …

Lower Mississippian Sedimentation In Northwestern Montana, Forest E. Haines

Doctoral Dissertations

"Thirty-three measured sections, nine with thin sections and insoluble residues, were studied to determine the depositional history of the Allan Mountain Limestone and the lower member of the Castle Reef Dolomite of the Madison Group in northwestern Montana.

The Allan Mountain base is a fossiliferous limestone, herein named the Brownback Gulch Member, which thickens and becomes cherty to the southwest where the section at Lone Butte resembles that of the Bridger Range Waulsortian-type reefs. A crinoidal lag deposit marks a dis- conformity at the top. In the overlying silty limestone member a thin black shale (Unit 1) grades into normal …

Theoretical And Experimental Investigation Of Oil Recovery By The Electrothermic Technique, Samy Abdel-Hakeem El-Feky

Doctoral Dissertations

"This work investigates the feasibility of increasing oil recovery from petroleum reservoirs by the electrothermic technique. A mathematical model was developed for the prediction of reservoir response to heating by alternating electric current flow through the oil-bearing formations. The mathematical model was programmed in FORTRAN for solution on the IBM 370/168. The model used the finite difference technique to represent the differential equations that describe the system, and the sets of difference equations were solved by the Strongly Implicit Procedure (SIP) and Successive Overrelaxation (SOR).

In order to verify the mathematical model, a set of experiments was conducted to determine …

Geology Of The Southern Half Of The Stoutland, Missouri Quadrangle, Chester Encell Nichols

Doctoral Dissertations

"The dissertation area lies on the western flank of the Ozark uplift between Lebanon and Camdenton, Missouri. In the northwestern corner of the study area a portion of the Decaturville cryptoexplosive structure is exposed. The dominant structure outside the disturbed zone is a northwest-trending asymmetrical anticline with a subsidiary normal fault dipping southwest on the steeper southwest limb.

The area is mapped in considerable detail in order to describe subtle structural features. To overcome a problem of poor exposures, new key beds are defined which greatly increase structural control. Significant structures recognized as a result are the Dry Auglaize anticline, …

Strict Convexity In Locally Convex Spaces And Fixed Point Theorems In Generalized Hilbert Spaces, Ed Wilburn Huffman

Doctoral Dissertations

"A new definition of strict convexity is introduced for locally convex spaces. Examples are given and several characterizations of strict convexity are established for locally convex spaces whose generating family of semi norms satisfies the parallelogram law.

Some fundamental fixed-point theorems are proved for locally convex spaces whose generating family of semi norms satisfies the parallelogram law. Other fixed-point theorems are proved for strictly convex locally convex spaces which are also F-spaces"-- Abstract, p. ii

Geology Of The Al-Khums Area Northwestern Libya With Emphasis On The Stratigraphy And Biostratigraphy Of The Al-Khums Formation, Mostafa Juma Salem

Doctoral Dissertations

"The dissertation represents a geologic study of an area bordering the Mediterranean Sea in northwestern Libya. About 1200 km² were mapped and 28 stratigraphic sections were prepared.

The bedrock consists of 16 stratigraphic units of Mesozoic and Cenozoic age having a combined maximum thickness of about 750 meters. The oldest unit exposed, the Abu Shaybah Formation, is a redbed sequence of Triassic and Jurassic age. These beds are unconformably separated from Cretaceous carbonates (Garian Limestone, Ain Tobi Formation, and Gezzar Dolomite). These units in turn are overlain by the Miocene Al-Khums Formation. Younger Quaternary units consist of nearshore marine …
