    • Estimation of Effective Hydrologic Properties of Soils from Observations of Vegetation Density 

      Tellers, Tobin E.; Eagleson, Peter S. (Cambridge, Mass. : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980-03)
      An existing one-dimensional model of the annual water balance is reviewed. Slight improvements are made in the method of calculating the bare soil component of evaporation, and in the way surface retention is handled. A ...

    • Time Series Analysis of Cyclostat Data for the Determination of Cell Division Patterns in Phytoplankton Grown on Light/Dark Cycles 

      Slocum, Warren M. (Cambridge : Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, 1980)
      A method of data analysis employing digital filtering technique is described which has been used to smooth time series of cell density data from cyclostat experiments (Chisholm and Costello, 1980) and to estimate cell ...

    • A Stochastic Dynamic Programming Model for the Operation of the High Aswan Dam 

      Alarcon, Luis F.; Marks, David H. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1979-11)
      With the construction of the High Aswan Dam in Egypt, reliable irrigation throughout the whole year and the use of water for the generation of a high percentage of the electricity needs of the country are possible. Moreover, ...
