A typology of community college students and the development of profiles of associated student types
… a suggested three-dimensional community college function model that provides a means to consider the "fit" or congruence between the function model in place at a community college and profile of the students the college attracts.

Spatial Distribution and Stock-Recruitment Analysis of the Atlantic Surfclam, <i>Spisula solidissima</i>, in the Mid-Atlantic Bight and on Georges Bank
… nearshore areas. Based on a species distribution function model, the small surfclams appear to inhabit a greater area than the large market-size surfclams across the entire stock. The wider distribution of recent recruits relative to the fishable stock, however, positions the species well to …

Electronic, optical, and lattice properties of superlattices and heterostructures
Using an envelope function model, we have calculated the valence band structures in quantum wells and superlattices. It is found that the valence bands exhibit very complicated structures. With the newly devised method and the aid of the CRAY supercomputer, we have been able to calculate the …

A knowledge-based approach to modelling fast response catchments
… 'knowledge' of the rainfall - runoff process. Modelling was carried out with the use of transfer functions, and an analysis is presented of the problems in using this type of model in hydrological forecasting. A physically realisable' transfer function model is outlined, and storm …

Electronic and Optical Properties of Self-Assembled Quantum Wires
… theoretically via the effective bond-orbital model(EBOM), which takes into account the effects of valence-band anisotropy and the band mixing. It is found that the strain leads to further confinement of carriers and enhancement of the anisotropy. By using the EBOM and valence-force field …

Automated inter-model parameter connection synthesis for simulation model integration
New simulation modeling environments have been developed such that multiple models can be integrated into a single model. This conglomeration of model data allows designers to better understand the physical phenomenon being modeled. Models are integrated together by creating connections between …

Impacts of foreign assistance on less-developed countries' agricultural productivity
… The study employed a Cobb- Douglas production function model. Several alternative model specifications were utilized in an attempt to model the true relationship between agricultural inputs and output. First, the foreign aid variable was included as a distributed lag of past foreign aid …
