Statistical and engineering methods both possess advantages and disadvantages in the determination of cost behavior. The two approaches are combined to form a statistical-engineering approach to estimating railway cost functions. The statistical-engi...
A book review prepared for the Sigma Xi quarterly, the American Scientist. Devoted to project management methods, the book is written at a level, and in highly technical language, well suited to supervisory engineers. It is distinguished by a practic...
The use of computers in three categories of engineering design operations: drawing, theory, and applications. The use of CRT displays for contemporary projects is probably the most exciting development in design automation. In theoretical design a...
The story of development efforts in the Brazilian "drought polygon," a depressed area of 940,000 sq km with a largely illiterate population of 25,000,000. Since 1887 Brazil has been constructing vast public "works against the drought," but this hydr...
A discussion of the applications of computer systems to the weapons systems development process, with emphasis on the role that the government might play in promoting, supporting, and implementing development of new computer-based systems for enginee...
A symposium paper with discussion. Biological problems arising from modern research techniques are too complex to be solved without the most powerful techniques of mathematics and engineering analysis. Compared with the usual engineering problems, ho...
An examination of two problems. The first deals with estimating the reliability of a system undergoing developmental testing to increase its probability of successful operation, increase its time-to-failure, or decrease its failure rate.
A discussion of computer-aided design for engineering use. The automatic drafting project of the Hughes Aircraft Company is described, including the development of ADMA, the machine and the language. The concept of the engineering information center ...
A proposal for a systematic educational program for bioengineering, a study that has arisen as a separate discipline because of educational deficiencies in biology and engineering. The bioengineering student should receive the best possible foundati...
A theoretical framework of the first step toward structuring comprehensive analytic models applicable to the hardware design process. The models' major application would be (1) designing for industry where the state of the art is well established; (...
A spectral analysis of the transport kernel for anisotropic scattering in finite slabs is achieved by first solving a type of generalized scattering problem for a subcritical slab.
A compilation of authors, titles, and abstracts from Geologie und Bauwesen, For the years 1946 to 1957, only the titles are given (in both German and English); for 1958 to 1962, abstracts (in English) are given as well. In May 1963, the name of the p...
A technical model of the Martian atmosphere that gives extreme upper and lower probable limits between which must fall the atmospheric parameters of pressure, temperature, and density up to 150-km altitude over middle and low latitudes. Other parame...
