Numerical Simulation Of Saturated Flow With Fractal Analysis Of The Hydraulic Conductivity Distribution, Joan Leilani Oana
Numerical Simulation Of Saturated Flow With Fractal Analysis Of The Hydraulic Conductivity Distribution, Joan Leilani Oana
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The purpose of this report is to investigate the behavior of a nonreactive contaminant in a perfectly stratified aquifer under uniform, steady-state flow. The design and the implementation of a solute transport model which characterizes the heterogeneities of the aquifer properties in a stochastic framework is reviewed. The model closely examines the advection and dispersion of the plume. The advection is the process by which the plume is transported in the aquifer by the bulk average motion of the groundwater whereas the dispersion refers to the spreading of the plume about its mean displacement position. The relationship between the fractally …
Linear Operators Strongly Preserving Polynomial Equations Over Antinegative Semirings, Sang-Gu Lee
Linear Operators Strongly Preserving Polynomial Equations Over Antinegative Semirings, Sang-Gu Lee
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
We characterized the group of linear operators that strongly preserve r-potent matrices over the binary Boolean semiring, nonbinary Boolean semirings, and zero-divisor free antinegative semirings. We extended these results to show that linear operators that strongly preserve r-potent matrices are equivalent to those linear operators that strongly preserve the matrix polynomial equation p(X) = X. where p(X) = Xr1 + Xr2 + ... + Xrt and r1>r2>...>rt≥2.
In addition, we characterized the group of linear operators that strongly preserve r-cyclic matrices over the same semirings. We …
A Comparison Of Estimation Procedures For The Beta Distribution, Huey Yan
A Comparison Of Estimation Procedures For The Beta Distribution, Huey Yan
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The beta distribution may be used as a stochastic model for continuous proportions in many situations in applied statistics. This thesis was concerned with estimation of the parameters of the beta distribution in three different situations.
Three different estimation procedures-the method of moments, maximum likelihood, and a hybrid of these two methods, which we call the one-step improvement-were compared by computer simulation, for beta data and beta data contaminated by zeros and ones. We also evaluated maximum likelihood estimation in the context of censored data, and Newton's method as a numerical procedure for solving the likelihood equations …
Mathematical Programming Applications In Agroforestry Planning, Laurence H. Reeves
Mathematical Programming Applications In Agroforestry Planning, Laurence H. Reeves
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Agroforestry as a sustainable production system has been recognized as a land use system with the potential to slow encroachment of agriculture onto forested lands in developing countries. However, the acceptance of nontraditional agroforestry systems has been hampered in some areas due to the risk-averse nature of rural agriculturalists. By explicitly recognizing risk in agroforestry planning, a wider acceptance of agroforestry is possible. This thesis consists of a collection of three papers that explore the potential of modern stock portfolio theory to reduce financial risk in agroforestry planning.
The first paper presents a theoretical framework that incorporates modern stock portfolio …
Is Rainbow Trout Condition Influenced By Invertebrate-Drift Density?, Randall B. Filbert
Is Rainbow Trout Condition Influenced By Invertebrate-Drift Density?, Randall B. Filbert
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Users of the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology CTFIM) commonly assume that there is a positive linear relationship between available habitat (WUA) and stream fish biomass. However, several studies have shown a lack cf correlation between WUA and biomass. Such poor relationships may occur if other factors limit fish abundance. Food availability is a potentially important factor limiting abundance of stream fishes and can affect blomass by influencing fish condition (individual weight). I collected rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) exposed to different levels of invertebrate-drift density to determine if condition was greater where food was more abundant. I also examined …
Origins Of Low-Angle Normal Faults Along The West Side Of The Bear River Range In Northern Utah, Jon E. Brummer
Origins Of Low-Angle Normal Faults Along The West Side Of The Bear River Range In Northern Utah, Jon E. Brummer
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This paper presents new interpretations of two normal-slip, low-angle faults near Smithfield and Richmond, Utah. The faults have previously been interpreted as landslides, gravity slides, slide blocks, and depositional contacts. Recent work in the Basin and Range province allows new interpretations concerning the origins of the low-angle faults.
Working hypotheses used to interpret origins of the faults are classified as folded thrust fault, rotated high-angle normal fault, gravity slide, listric normal fault, and low-angle normal fault. Among these general categories are several subhypotheses. The evaluation of each hypothesis includes a description of the geologic requirements of the hypothesis, a comparison …
