Oscillating satellites about the straight line equilibrium points.
(1952)The problem as studied in this thesis is the behavior of a satellite at the three equilibrium points. When a satellite is displaced from rest at one of these points it will either oscillate or rapidly leave the system. The ... -

Applications of full rank factorization to solving matrix equations
(1992-12)In the study of matrices, we are always searching for tools which allow us to simplify our investigations. Because full rank factorizations exist for all matrices and their properties often help to simplify arguments, their ... -
Using community metabolism to define the riverine, transition, and lacustrine zones of a reservoir, Lake Waco, Texas
(2001)Community metabolism of the pelagic region of Lake Waco was measured in different areas in order to define the riverine, transition, and lacustrine zones with a biological indicator. Community metabolism was measured ... -
Periphyton-nutrient dynamics in a gradient-dominated freshwater marsh ecosystem.

Existence of positive solutions to singular right focal boundary value problems.
(Orlando, FL : International Publications., 2005-05)In this dissetation, we seek positive solutions for the n^th order ordinary differential equation, y^(n)=f(x,y), satisfying the right focal boundary conditions, y^(i)(0)=y^(n-2)(p)=y^(n-1)(1)=0, i=0,...,n-3, where p is a ... -
