Nearly Balanced and Resolvable Block Designs
… optimality criteria. Among these are the balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs), many species of two-class partially balanced incomplete block designs, and regular graph designs.</p> <p>However, there are triples (<em>v, b, k</em>) in which binarity <em>precludes</em> near-symmetry. For …

Modeling anti-air warfare with discrete event simulation and analyzing naval convoy operations
… over a specific range of input variables, a nearly orthogonal nearly balanced (NOB) Latin hypercube design was used. The effects of these input changes on the outputs were analyzed using partition trees and nominal logistic regression. The primary response variable was the survival of the …

Using TFA Systems (tm) to assess behavior patterns of alcoholics who achieve sobriety
… (T-F-A) orientation with integrated and nearly balanced TFA triads. Qualitative measures indicated that with longer sobriety anticipatory thoughts about drinking changed to thoughts of positive alternatives and positive self-focus. Results suggested that the first change to begin in …

Response of semi-permanent prairie wetland to climate change: a spatial simulation model
… a significant change in the vegetation, from a nearly balanced cover ratio to a completely closed basin with no open water areas.

Optimality and Construction of Designs with Generalized Group Divisible Structure
… as well.</p> <p>The class of generalized nearly balanced incomplete block designs with maximum concurrence range <em>l</em>, or NBBD(l), is defined. This class extends the nearly balance incomplete block designs as defined by Cheng & Wu (1981), and the semi-regular graph designs as defined …

The evolution of ocean fronts in the presence of mixed layer turbulence
… with the horizontal density gradient is often nearly balanced by a geostrophic (or thermal wind) vertically-sheared along-front flow. However, fronts in the ocean and atmosphere co-exist with small-scale turbulence which disrupts this balance. Analytic models of fronts have often neglected the …
