MANAGEMENT EFFECTS OF SPATIALLY DISPERSED LAND TRACTS: A SIMULATION ANALYSIS

A sequential simulation model is used to test a way to study the relationship between net farm income and land tract dispersion, total acres, machinery size and rainfall. The model simulates the day-to-day sequence of field work on a hypothetical farm simulation varying crop acreage, machinery size and for a wet and dry rainfall situation. Data generated by this model are then analyzed using a regression equation estimating the influence of studied variables on net farm income.Land Economics/Use,

A MICROCOMPUTER MODEL FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEM EVALUATION

ICEASE (Irrigation Cost Estimator and System Evaluator) is a microcomputer model designed and developed to meet the need for conducting economic evaluation of adjustments to irrigation systems and management techniques to improve the use of irrigated water. ICEASE can calculate the annual operating costs for irrigation systems and has five options that can be used to economically evaluate improvements in the pumping plant or the way the irrigation system is used for crop production.Crop Production/Industries,

Elección de un S.O adecuado para el funcionamiento de la plataforma SIRUTP

Las plataformas web necesitan de una forma de acceder a estas, una tecnología que les permita cumplir con el objetivo con el que fueron creadas, SIRUTP, por ejemplo, hará uso de dispositivos móviles para cumplir con tal objetivo. Buscando prestar un servicio agradable con el usuario final de la plataforma, se hace necesario elegir qué sistema operativo posibilitara tal fin. La búsqueda de este sistema operativo se compone de la investigación a profundidad de las cualidades específicas que ofrece cada uno, definiendo unas características que ayudaran a medir la afinidad de cada uno de estos con lo que busca la plataforma y contraponiendo esto con las cualidades encontradas. Finalmente, la elección del sistema operativo que se instalara en los dispositivos móviles con los que se accederá a SIRUTP, se realizara mediante la ponderación de las contraposiciones de las cualidades encontradas en cada sistema operativo con las características definidas para su medición

A method for the prediction of detection ranges for pulsed doppler radar

Modern radar systems must provide greater detection ranges both against high and low altitude targets because of the significant advances in weapon speed and range. Extended range indicates that the power transmitted by the radar must be increased. It follows, that ground return becomes a problem even at high altitudes. There are at present three basic types of radars which are (1) pulsed, (2) continuous wave, and (3) pulsed doppler radar. The conventional pulsed radar now closely approaches the theoretical optimum performance; however, it does not have the inherent ability to distinguish between ground return and moving targets. The continuous wave radar has the ability to distinguish between fixed and moving targets but does not retain the time form of the information and also the continuous wave radar has practical difficulties which limit the usefulness of this system in airborne applications. The pulsed doppler radar detects the doppler frequency shift of moving targets, as in the continuous wave radar, while retaining the time form of the returned information as in pulsed radar systems. It is important to be able to evaluate and predict the operation of a radar as well as the comparison of different radars. Range performance and detection range capabilities are methods by which radars are compared and their operation predicted. Statement of the problem. It is the purpose of this study to present a method for computing the range performance of an air-interceptor pulsed doppler radar in terms of detection ranges. The analysis of the detection range performance includes target scintillation --The Problem and Definitions of Terms Used, pages 1-2

Integrated Management

Progressive organizations recognize that it is not the business that competes but rather the managing team. They are aware that most managers fail for administrative, rather than technical incompetency. The good news is that the mastery of management can be learned end this is what this paper addresses. A growing, progressive organization experiences an evolution through several managing phases. The work effort of a manager can be generalized into two categories: Managing People (obtaining results from employees) Technical Work (obtaining results from hardware) The Integration Gap i? defined as the difference between the actual and ideal distribution of the above categories of a manager\u27s work effort. The primary managing people responsibilities are: PLANNING, ORGANIZING, LEADING, CONTROLLING An explanation of each function reveals a practical approach for closing the Integration Gap. The mastery of these functions determiner, the success of the Professional Manager
