A History Of The War Service Land Settlement Scheme Western Australia, A, R. Barrett

Farm Systems and Economics published reports

In writing a history of the Western Australian War Service Land Settlement Scheme, it is pertinent to remark that land settlement projects have ever been difficult and, in fact, to date very few have been really successful. However, there has always been the necessity to accede to the desire of returning men to go on the land, also in States such as Western Australia there was and still is the need for further land development. Therefore, when the Commonwealth Government offered to provide the funds for servicemen's rehabilitation on the land the State gladly accepted and agreed to take responsibility …

Some Problems Of Ergodic Theory And Information Theory., K. R. Parthasarathy Dr.

Doctoral Theses

The subject of ergodic theory which is the mathematical outgrowth of the gas problem in statistical machines and the subject of information theory which in the mathematical outgrowth of the problem of information transmission through communication channels have many interesting dual features. In ergodic theory we study collectively and individually the measure preserving transformations of a first measure space, where as in information theory we do the same with the set of all measured in variant under a fixed measurable transformation of a measurable space. The object of this thesis it to study some of the dual relations between the …

Actually, changes in the direction had been occurring in English agriculture since the revival of trade discussed in earlier chapters. [excerpt]

Plan Of Development For Valley Gravity Project, Julius A. Krug, Michael W. Straus, Wesley R. Nelson

Lower Rio Grande Valley Curated Material

"The Valley Gravity Project Plan has been formulated to furnish an adequate and dependable irrigation water supply for fertile and productive area in the Lower Rio Grande Valley, Texas, It would also provide drainage works, which would remove the threat of destruction of the economy of the area due to effects of a high water table and salt accumulations. The project works would permit generation of the maximum practicable amount of electrical energy which otherwise would be required to operate irrigation pumping plants. Other incidental benefits include fish and wildlife conservation, recreation and flood control."
