Incorporation of fault rock properties into production simulation models
… the multiphase flow properties of faults into production simulation models. Second, to investigate methodologies to incorporate the multiphase flow properties of faults into production simulation models. Tests using simple simulation models suggest that in some situations it is not particularly …

Gender and Leadership: Behavioral Differences Exhibited While Leading a Production Simulation
… gender differences in leader behavior during a production simulation task. Four categories of leader behavior were investigated--overall leader activity; amount of input from leaders solicited by group members; behaviors used to motivate workers' and demotivating behaviors exhibited by leaders. …

A production simulation tool for systems with integrated photovoltaic energy sources.
… variable effects of large-scale PV energy production on power systems. The tool consists of a probabilistic model for the representation of the power output of the PV resources, at single or multiple sites on the network, and the incorporation of the model into an extended probabilistic …

A probabilistic production simulation approach for systems with integrated concentrated solar plants with thermal energy storage
… the times and the quantities of total CSP energy production. The geographic correlations among the multi-site DNI and its intrinsic seasonality further complicate the effective quantification of the multi-site CSP variable effects in power systems into which they are integrated. Thus, the …

The Identification of Risk Factors for Mortality and Respiratory Disease in Lambs: An Evaluation of Risk Factor Based Health Management Strategies
The production simulation model evaluated two regression based strategies: decreased prevalence of poor milking ability (MLK) to <1% via culling over three years, and decreased prevalence of low birth weights (BWT) to 10% by improved gestational feeding. The comparison flock (BASE) had 15% poor …

Evaluating Commodity Farm Program Selection and Economic Return Variability on Representative Farms in the Mississippi River Delta Region Using a Risk Return Framework
… introduces a new era of federal support in the production of major agricultural commodities in the United States for the 2014 through 2018 crop years. The ultimate result of the Act was a 954-page piece of legislation that represented market-oriented policies such as the creation of an area-wide …
