Department of Agricultural Economics: Faculty Publications

Some 249 miles of Nebraska rail line have been abandoned since 1963; another 310 miles are in contention at abandonment proceedings. The abandonment of these and other lines could have serious economic implications for grain elevators, farmers, and rural communities.

Track abandonment is occurring during a time of rapid expansion in the grain industry. U. S. corn and grain sorghum production increased more than 40 percent during the decade ending in 1973. Exports of these commodities increased 157 percent during the same period. Increases in grain production and exports, along with a shorter harvest season, are placing great strains on …

On Setting Up A Dental Practice With Efda's, Arnold Reisman, Hamilton Emmons, Susumu Morito, Juan Rivaud, Edward J. Green

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

This chapter examines the impact of Expanded Function Dental Auxiliaries (EFDA) on dental practice management, focusing on productivity and profitability. Various practice configurations with EFDA integration are compared to conventional setups, demonstrating that EFDA inclusion significantly reduces a dentist's workload, increases practice capacity, and enhances revenue and earnings. Tools and methodologies from Operations Research, such as patient load forecasting, scheduling, and economic analysis, are applied to assess these effects. A novel tool, the Dental Practice Management Game, is introduced, utilizing computer simulations to analyze complex practice scenarios without requiring specialized knowledge of Operations Research techniques. The analysis explores two key …

Infinite Divisibility Of Finite Semi-Markov Matrices, Teunis J. Ott

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

The theory of infinitely divisible semi-Markov matrices is a generalization of both the theory of infinitely divisible probability distributions on the real line, and the theory of infinitely divisible Markov matrices. One of the results in this paper is that the imbeddability in a continuous semigroup of transition kernels extends from infinitely divisible distribution functions and infinitely divisible Markov matrices to infinitely divisible semi-Markov matrices.

A Survey Of Selected Corporate Practices Which Influence Exit Interviewing Techniques Among Kentucky Manufacturing Firms, Barry Landis

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

The purpose of the present study was to examine organizational practices related to exit interviewing techniques. Prior research has neglected the study of the variables which cause the use of the exit interview to fluctuate, focusing rather on the study of the validity and format of the exit interview. The present study, by means of a questionnaire, cross-tabulated certain independent variables with the dependent variables contained in the questionnaire and found that at least three independent variables significantly affected use of the interview: (1) the size of the company (2) unionization of the company and (3) the annual turnover rate …

Testing Admission Policy In The Intensive Care Unit Of Forest City Hospital, Chibamba Mulenga

Research Reports from the Department of Operations

Between 1972 and 1975 mortality rate in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Forest City Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, showed a noticeable decline. While this decline could have been due to factors beyond the control of Forest City Hospital, it was decided to determine, on the basis of data obtained from patients who were admitted into the ICU during this period, whether admission policy in the ICU had changed or had not changed in the years 1972 through 1975.The purpose of this paper is to test the hypothesis that admission policy in the ICU had not changed against the alternative …
