The Methods Test Panel (MTP) is a survey research vehicle designed by the Bureau of the Census to test a l te rna t i ve methodologies and concepts used in the Current Population Survey (CPS). The MTP is an attempt to improve the qua l i t y , r e l i a b i l i t y , and u t i l i t y of CPS data, and is intended to provide a way of test ing and evaluating recommendat ions from the National Com...

International Journal of Purchasing and Materials Management © Copyright January 1996, by the National Association of Purchasing Management, Inc. Analysis of data from 179 respondents indicated that the concept of the business lunch is alive and well among both purchasing and sales professionals. Neither the purchasing nor sales professionals believed that there was a possibility for a high lev...

background the incidence of prostatic abscess (pa) has markedly declined with the widespread use of antibiotics and the decreasing incidence of urethral gonococcal infections. objectives to evaluate different treatment methods for prostatic abscess and to describe technical points that will improve the outcome of transurethral (tur) drainage of prostatic abscess. patients and methods we perform...

abstract one of the ways to increase economic and environmental efficiency of drainage systems is water table management. water table management consists of, controlled drainage and subirrigation. this study examines the effect of controlled drainage on yield, root distribution pattern and water use efficiency of maize (sc 704) in karaj. the experiment was performed as a randomized complete des...

the system dynamics technique is an object-oriented approach that studies and manages complex feedback systems. its merits include the friendly and easy development and improvement of a model. it is also used as a decision tool for engineering problems. in this paper, the system dynamics technique was used to simulate the performance of a subsurface drainage system in an unsteady state. the mod...

abstract although lateral drains play the main role in removal of excess water from soil profile in subsurface drainage systems, but it is assumed that perforated collectors can directly remove a part of drainwater from soils. this part of discharge in subsurface drains is not usually taken into consideration in drainage design criteria, due to lack required information and its difficult estima...

The experimental study and modeling of gravity drainage during Water Alternative Gas Injection, WAG process, in carbonate rock for one of the Iranian off-shore reservoir at lab-scale were carried out. The mechanism of gravity drainage during the WAG process, and its contribution to the oil recovery in the fract...
