Well-covered Graphs, Unique Colorability, and Covering Range
<p>A graph is called well-covered if all of its maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. We give a characterization of well-covered k-trees. A graph is said to be uniquely χ-colorable if, modulo permutations of colors, it has exactly one proper χ-coloring. The k-trees with at least k+1 …

Determining the Feasibility of Using Remote Sensing to Estimate Irrigation Water Use in South Dakota at the Field Scale
… model to Landsat-sharpened MODIS images compared well to brie produced by applying the METRIC model to Landsat images for a season and location that was well covered by Landsat images. The SSEB and METRIC based seasonal irrigation maps did not compare well when there was not good Landsat image …

Generation and Langmuir probe analysis of a DC glow discharge and the deposition of chromium from a carbonyl precursor
… identified which ionized species were present as well as the ion temperature from the resulting band structures present. The monochromator analysis was necessary to validate the assumptions of the Langmuir probe theory and to allow a choice of which theories applied. The Langmuir probe analysis of …

Platform project management : optimizing product development by actively managing commonality
… rather than the product planning itself that is well covered by existing literature. To acknowledge the dynamic nature of the project, a system dynamics model that simultaneously simulated the lead and the derivative projects was developed based on their product commonality. The model was …

Land based air power or aircraft carriers? The British debate about maritime air power in the 1960s
… took place in this period have been especially well covered. However, the question of military strategic alternatives in this important era of British foreign policy has been less studied. This dissertation discusses such high-profile projects as the TSR.2 and F.111, prospective VTOL aircraft …

Nonparametric detection of signals causing arbitrary changes in the accompanying noise backgrounds
… from nonparametric statistical methods which are well covered in the literature (15)-(48). These nonparametric statistical methods (nonparametric detectors) have previously been applied to the problem of signal detection (6)-(14), but not nearly as extensively as the parametric detectors. These …

A comparative study on the structural behavior of concrete arch dams subjected to swelling due to aggregate sllica reactions
… a major cause of ageing. AAR causes internal swelling of concrete leading to stresses that eventually manifest on a macroscopic level as inter alia cracks, deformation and opening of horizontal construction joints. Although the effect of AAR expansion on arch dams is complex, certain …

Analysis of a permanent magnet hybrid linear stepping motor
… Although rotating hybrid stepping motors are well covered· by literature, there are only a few papers on HLSMs published so far. The objective of this thesis is to apply the reluctance network approach (RNA) and the finite element method (FEM) to performance calculations of HLSMs. A comparison …
