Evaluation Of Mineral Project Using Simulation And Expert System: "A Case For A Gold Mine Evaluation"., Saied Sarkarat Jan 1996

Evaluation Of Mineral Project Using Simulation And Expert System: "A Case For A Gold Mine Evaluation"., Saied Sarkarat

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) is the most common evaluation method used to evaluate capital investment. However, this method is static in nature and does not recognize the existence of managerial flexibility. An evaluation method that recognizes managerial flexibility is desired and may be obtained by the development of an investment and operational simulation coupled with an expert system. An investment simulation was developed using a gold mine as an example with stochastic output price and a combination of conventional cash flow analysis and an expert system. Actual gold prices from 1973 to 1984 were used as the historical data …

Development Of Cost-Based Multi-Defect-Type Control Chart Using Fuzzy Set Theory., Mustafa Saadeddin Shraim Jan 1996

Development Of Cost-Based Multi-Defect-Type Control Chart Using Fuzzy Set Theory., Mustafa Saadeddin Shraim

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Traditional attribute control charts for nonconformities or defects, such as c or u charts, assume that all defect types are binary in nature. However, some defect types have varying degree of seriousness within them. As a result, the plotted value on the control chart may not capture the true quality status of the product in question. Moreover, in many situations, large products may have multiple types of defects. These defects may be different from one another in terms of their severity. The classification process in attribute inspection tasks for the traditional control charts does not consider the variability within some …

Analysis Of Regulatory Regions Within The First Intron Of The Estrogen-Inducible Chicken Very Low Density Apolipoprotein Ii Gene., Franklin David Shuler

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

During periods of egg laying in the chicken, when circulating levels of estrogen are increased, the liver-specific estrogen-dependent very low density apolipoprotein II (apoVLDL II) gene is expressed. Transcription is accompanied by estrogen-dependent, liver-specific changes in the chromatin conformation within and surrounding the gene. One of the regions that changes in conformation is in the promoter where the estrogen receptor along with multiple liver-specific and ubiquitous transcription factors interact in a cooperative manner to assemble a functional transcriptional initiation complex. However, the apoVLDL II gene is expressed at higher levels when the first intron is added to the promoter. Since …

An Accurate Navier-Stokes Solver With An Application To Unsteady Flows., Jason Richard Smith Jan 1996

An Accurate Navier-Stokes Solver With An Application To Unsteady Flows., Jason Richard Smith

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is becoming an increasingly important tool for engineering analysis. In CFD simulations obtaining grid independent solutions without excessive cost is desirable. Hence, there is a need to evaluate higher order accurate discretization schemes (both spatial and temporal). Moreover, many journals require at least second-order accuracy for publication. Also, there is a need to maximize the efficiency of Navier-Stokes solvers. Efficiency is both a function of how the flow field is calculated and how effectively the discretized equations are solved. All of these issues are important in the emerging field of Large Eddy Simulation (LES) where very …

Assessment Of Adolescent Quality Of Life: Development And Preliminary Validation Of A Self-Report Measure., Leslie E. Spieth

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Assessing the impact of chronic illness on child and adolescent functioning has become increasingly important as mortality rates associated with chronic illness have decreased and survival rates have increased. With improvements in prognosis, greater emphasis has been placed on the assessment of acute and residual dysfunction caused by chronic illnesses and their treatment. The multiple dimensions of functioning and well-being are commonly referred to as "quality of life" (QOL). The assessment of patient QOL provides an important outcome measure that complements the physiological outcome measures which are typically obtained. Patient reports of QOL are particularly important as the dysfunction caused …

Function Of An Autonomous Replication Sequence (Ars) In Coxiella Burnettii., Michelle Lynn Suhan Jan 1996

Function Of An Autonomous Replication Sequence (Ars) In Coxiella Burnettii., Michelle Lynn Suhan

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

A 5.8-kb EcoRI chromosomal fragment from Coxiella burnetii functions to initiate plasmid replication in Escherichia coli from a 403-bp minimal autonomous replication sequence (ars) (Chen, 1989). The minimal ars contains motifs found in bacterial origins, including two DnaA boxes, three AT-rich 21-mers, a transcriptional promoter leading rightwards, and potential IHF and FIS binding sites. Database comparisons of deduced amino acid sequences revealed that open reading frames adjacent to ars shared identity to genes often located near bacterial chromosomal origins. These were rpmH, rnpA, 9K, and 60K, in E. coli and Pseudomonas putida. To provide direct evidence for origin function in …

Selenium Requirement For Oligodendrocyte Differentiation., Jin Gu Jan 1996

Selenium Requirement For Oligodendrocyte Differentiation., Jin Gu

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Selenium is a nutritionally essential trace element for mammals, and several studies have suggested that selenium may have an important function in the central nervous system. We hypothesized that selenium may play an important role in the differentiation of myelin producing cells, i.e., oligodendrocytes in developing brain. We employed an in vitro model system of glial cell cultures prepared from newborn rat brains to test this hypothesis. In mixed glial cell cultures, selenium deficiency inhibited developmental upregulation of myelin-specific genes, i.e., proteolipid protein (PLP), basic protein (BP) and myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG) as assessed by Northern blot analysis. The effect of …

Katelyn's Emergent Literacy Story: A Case Study And Consolidated Literature Review Of The Development Of Literacy From Birth To Three Years., Sherrie Kimberly Wampler

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

By definition, the study of emergent literacy must address the literacy development of children from "birth" to "conventional literacy." In actuality, studies of the literacy development of children between the ages of 2 and 4 have become common, while studies regarding literacy development of 1-year-olds is extremely limited and studies beginning at birth even fewer. Through this study, data regarding the language, reading, and writing behaviors of children from birth to three years is identified, consolidated, and confirmed. Two research questions guided this study: (1) What are the emergent literacy behaviors of a child from birth to three years? (2) …

The Development Of A Coaching Education Curriculum Framework Outlining The Learning Outcomes Coaches Are To Be Taught To Pursue Through Interscholastic Athletics., A Keith Dils

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Coaches and administrators involved in athletics in the educational milieu proclaim that sport is an integral part of the educational process. The National Federation of State High School Associations maintains that athletics is "educational" (Jable, 1986). However, positive outcomes are not inevitable and in fact negative outcomes often occur. Because the mandates for the "educational" use of athletics consist of general and undefined values (e.g., collapsing the concept of sportsmanship into one undefined value) they are not conducive to making values development through sport an attainable goal (Wandzilak & Potter, 1986). Also, these mandates for the "educational" use of sport …
