A Forecasting-Programming Method For Placement-Sales Decisions For A Beef Feedlot, Franz Schwarz, J. B. Hassler

Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Research Bulletins

This bulletin reports on a practical multi-period linear programming procedure as a management tool for decisions on placements and marketings for a beef feedlot operating over time under market uncertainty. Although the conclusions were based on application to an individual firm with uniqueness in time and space, the model should be equally appropriate for any firm's production and marketing decisions through time.

A Methodology For Nurse Staffing, Bruce M. Meglino

Faculty Publications

Increases in both staff salaries and in the number of personnel per patient have been prime factors in the rapid rise of hospital costs. This is particularly true in the nursing area, which is responsible for the greatest portion of these costs. Limited information has been available to aid hospital managers in the efficient utilization of the nursing staff. This article presents guidelines for determining patient load and a systematic procedure for allocating nursing personnel.

The Special Theory Of Coordinate Transformations In Linear Programming, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

For a linear program (LP) in which all variables have finite lower and upper bounds, a specific change of coordinates is recommended prior to solving the problem. The transformed problem is obtained by preprocessing the original data, and the result is an equivalent LP for which any state-of-the-art simplex code can be used. A computer simulation substantiates the advantages of this approach. Test results indicate that on a majority of randomly generated problems, significantly fewer iterations are required in the transformed system; for example, in one group of fifty problems, one-third of the total pivots was saved. Even when the …

The General Theory Of Coordinate Transformations In Linear Programming, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

For any linear program (LP), a specific change of coordinate systems is recommended prior to solving the problem. In the event that all variables have known finite lower and upper bounds, the result of the transformation is an equivalent LP for which any state-of-the-art simplex code can be used. When some (or all) of the variables are unbounded, the origin of the suggested transformed problem may not be a basic feasible solution from which to initiate the usual Phase I procedure. A slightly modified simplex algorithm is proposed to solve the transformed problem.

Harrison "Buzz" Price Papers

MCA, Inc. and The East Los Angeles Community Union (TELACU) jointly retained Harrison Price Company (HPC) to conduct a preliminary feasibility analysis of the Phase 1 redevelopment of historic Union Station in Los Angeles, California as an entertainment center. HPC’s report has six sections: Section 1, introduction; Section 2, an evaluation of the subject site and project concept; Section 3 an examination of the size and characteristics of available market support; Section 4, Attendance and visitor expenditure estimates along with physical planning recommendations; Section 5, preliminary financial analysis, including estimated operating revenues and expenses, site rehabilitation costs, and residual funds …

Stereotype Bias In Selection: A Process Approach, Donald V. Currie

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This investigation was to determine if an applicant’s sex and the job’s sex orientation stereotypes affected the evaluation of applicant information and subsequent selection decision outcomes. Interviewers (N=48) were asked to rate the employment suitability of 49 hypothetical applicants. The results indicated that an interaction of the applicant’s sex and job’s sex orientation had marginal affect on the importance weightings in two of the four applicant attribute factors, motivation/ability and personality/appearance. Applicants with equivalent qualifications did not receive comparable employment suitability ratings, Unfair job discrimination was demonstrated by these data. It was concluded that the applicant’s sex and the job’s …

Evaluation Of R&D Project Costs, Burton V. Dean, Asim Roy

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This paper presents a general model for cost evaluation in Research and Development and other projects, where it is necessary to predict both the expected cost and its variance. The model shows means of accounting for interdependencies between various cost elements in both the expected value and variance calculation. The model does not require any explicit knowledge of the exact probability distribution of any of the cost elements, but only some approximate values for their expected values, variances and correlations with other variables. If the user of this model is not willing to account for all the interdependencies between various …

Hsus Opposes Cruel Clubbing Of Harp Seal Pups

Close Up Reports

World opinion, including that of many Canadians, has long been against the annual so-called "seal harvest" on the ice floes off the coast of Newfoundland. Yet the Canadian bureaucrats refuse to budge.

As spring approaches, protests are being raised throughout the world to end this barbaric practice. At the same time the Canadian government is attempting to convince the world that the clubbing is both "humane" and necessary.

An Efficient Cutting Plane Algorithm For Unconstrained Convex Minimization, Daniel Solow

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

A cutting-plane algorithm is proposed for minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function of n variables. One notable feature of this algorithm is that each cut is actually a supporting hyperplane, which does not require an iterative procedure. To initiate the whole process, a phase I method based on the complementary pivoting algorithms will be used. Of particular interest is the one-dimensional version of the cutting-plane algorithm, which reduces to a new form of line search.
