A new computer program is reported that provides work schedules for nursing staff. Designed to run on the NEC PC-9801 personal computer using the N88-BASIC(86) interpreter, this program is intended for use by the senior nurses of each ward and removes most of the manual burden of staff work scheduling. The word work schedule can be created in only 90 seconds by the program and allows for individual nursing staff requests for particular work assignments.

The details of a general multiblock partial least squares (PLS) algorithm based on one originally presented by Wold et al. have been developed and are completely presented. The algorithm can handle most types of relationships between the blocks and constitutes a significant advancement in the modeling of complex chemical systems. The algorithm has been programmed in FORTRAN and has been tested on two simulated multiblock problems, a three‐block and a five‐block problem. The algorithm combines the score vectors for all blocks predicting a particular block into a new block. This new block is used to predict the predicted block in a manner analogous to the two‐block PLS. In a similar manner if one block predicts more than one other block, the score vectors of all predicted blocks are combined to form a new block, which is then predicted by the predictor block as in the two‐block PLS. Blocks that both predict and are predicted are treated in such a way that both of these roles can be taken into account when calculating interblock relationships. The results of numerical simulations indicate that the computer program is operating properly and that the multiblock PLS produces meaningful and consistent results.

A computer programme is given using previously described keys. Data of physiological and morphological tests can be entered manually or via a data file whereafter the described programme sorts the data in the hierarchical structure of a given key. The identity of the yeast is then given by the programme. Fifty-two yeast strains associated with wine were successfully identified using this programme. In addition to being user friendly and easy to operate, it is possible to run the programme on a personal computer.

The conceptual phase of a helicopter design includes comparison of configurations which will meet the specified performance requirements. To perform this comparison, the designer must have the proper tools at hand. This thesis presents an interactive computer program for the conceptual design of tandem rotor helicopters. It is intended to complement the existing single rotor helicopter design program written for the Helicopter Design course, AE-4306, taught at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California. This program manages the myriad of interrelated parameters by prompting for input, providing the opportunity for changes, and displaying the results. This relieves the (student) designer of the tedious calculations and bookkeeping, thus allowing time for a more thorough analysis of the design.

AbstractWe describe a short computer program, which is written in Pascal language, to measure the diameter of circular and elliptical profiles in sections. Coordinate pairs on the microscope stage, corresponding to two or three points of a profile, are input to obtain its diameter. The program enables one to take measurements directly on the microscope, thereby reducing photographic work and caliper measurement. While the program is largely designed for electron microscopy, it also may be useful for light microscopy morphometry.

A method for the inversion of self-potential anomalies over spherical, cylindrical, and sheet-like sources is proposed. In this method, the computer calculates the initial solution which is modified in an iterative process using nonlinear least-squares regression by employing the Marquardt algorithm. A computer program in FORTRAN 77, directly executable on a VAX-11/750 computer is presented.

The purpose of the paper is to find the optimal criteria for interfeeder switching in a distribution system during emergency conditions. A feeder in a distribution system usually has several interfeeder switches properly located along the feeder to link with other feeders. Under emergency conditions, such as when faults occur on the distribution feeder, these switches are operated interdependently to minimise the loss of load and to prevent overload or unbalance power flow on the distribution feeders. In the paper, a computer program is developed to find the optimal switching algorithm. The cost function of the switching operation is defined, and the bipartite graph network is constructed according to the configuration of the distribution system. The binary integer programming (BIP) technique is used to minimise the objective function which is set up based on the relief of feeder overloading and unbalance. A distribution system comprising several substations in the Taiwan Power Company is selected for the simulation of optimal switching and the accuracy and efficiency of this program are verified.

A computer model was developed to simulate the building cooling load and the seasonal energy consumption of standard residential sized central air-conditioning systems. The model was first validated by comparing the predicted cooling energy consumption against the metered energy of a 100 m 2 residence. The model predicts within 10% of the metered value. The validated model was next used to compute the cooling load and seasonal energy consumption for similar 100 m 2 residences in six cities located in different climatic zones of Saudi Arabia. Simulations showed that the cities of Dhahran and Riyadh required a 17.6 kW system to satisfy the cooling load through the year, whereas the defined residences in the cities of Taif, Hail, Jeddah and Gizan required a 14.1 kW system. Our analysis showed that the selected residence in Gizan would consume 23,100 kWh annually, while a comparable residence located in Dhahran, having a more severe summer, required only 21,500 kWh. This difference may be explained by analysis of the weather data which revealed that Gizan required year-round cooling, whereas Dhahran needed cooling for only 283 days during the year. Investigation showed that, by selecting the next smaller capacity air-conditioning unit for each location than required to satisfy the load for 100% of the time, the annual power consumption may be reduced, on an average, by 10%, with about 7% of the hours during the cooling season when the air-conditioning load may not be satisfied.

A new method of numerically modelling coupled heat and moisture flow around power cables in steady state and time varying conditions based on the Philip and DeVries model for flow in soils is presented. The method has been implemented within a computer program for an IBM or compatible personal computer which utilises the Galerkin approach in the finite element method. The program employs advanced, sparsity-based algorithms which can handle large finite element grid structures and calculate accurately the steady state and time dependent temperature and moisture distributions and isothermal contours for power cables buried in media containing complex configurations of soil, boundaries, heat sourcesand sinks. Validation of the program has been achieved with data from field tests. A good comparison between predicted and measured results was obtained.

The computer program MIR previously described (R. Bianchi, G.M. Hanozet and *** Simonetta. Comput. Prog. Biomed. 16 (1983) 189) than fits trial rate laws to enzyme and transport steady-state kinetic data by the least-squares method has been enhanced. The new version MIR II is an interactive program and it consists of five major routines and a larger number of smaller program elements to perform the linear (three different functional forms) and non-linear (eleven mathematical models) regression analysis of kinetic data from enzyme and transmembrane transport experiments, also in the presence of inhibitors. Other features of the new program include a set of statistics and test useful for the model building process, for the development of the mathematical model and for its validation and maintenance. An algorithm for fitting a straight line taking into account errors in both x and y is also provided.
