A state database of defendants admitted for RTC between 1988 and 2005 was analyzed for trends in annual admissions, length of stay (LOS), and suc...

On Pólya’s Orchard Problem

In 1918 Pólya formulated the following problem: “How thick must the trunks of the trees in a regularly spaced circular orchard grow if they are to block completely the view from the center?”(Pólya and Szegő [2]).

An Orchard Theorem

Atrazine Prediction in Northeast Indiana

The Annualized Agricultural Nonpoint Source (AnnAGNPS) pollution model was developed for simulation of runoff, sediment, nutrient, and pesticide losses from ungauged agricultural watersheds. This article describes the first documented calibration and validation of AnnAGNPS for prediction of atrazine loading. Here, the model was applied to the 707 km2 Cedar Creek watershed (CCW) and the 45 km2 M...
