Economic analysis of natural resource use and environmental issues. Discussion of criteria for public decision making, welfare economics, market failure, benefit-cost analysis, and benefit estimation, as applied to natural resources and the environment.
Application of dynamic optimization methods to renewable and nonrenewable resource management. Includes problem formulation, mathematical problem solving, Matlab programming, simulations and optimal policies analysis. Case examples are used to demonstrate applicability and problem formulation in finance and general and partial equilibrium. Prereq: MA 113 and MA 162 or equivalent, and AEC 661 or equivalent.
General use of surveying equipment, development of topographic maps, layout of engineering systems, earthwork computations, and introduction to boundary surveys for Agriculture students. This course is not available for credit to persons who have received credit in another introductory surveying course. Lecture, one hour; laboratory, three hours.
The utilization of hydraulic principles in the design, assimilation, installation and operation of residential and commercial irrigation systems in applications which emphasize water conservation, nutrient management and environmental protection. Lecture, two hours; laboratory, two hours per week.
This course is an advanced introduction to the complexities of managing production and inventory systems. An enterprise's success in today's highly-competitive, often-global business environment, depends on effectively managing its production activities and the related inventories at various production-process stages. Because such decisions are invariably tied to demand forecasts, the course begins with an examination of forecasting.
A concise presentation of developmental mechanisms, early development of the embryo, and subsequent development of selected systems and regions of the body.
The objectives of this course are to advance the students' knowledge of the submicroscopic structure of cells and tissues. Correlation of intra- and extra- cellular morphology and function will be emphasized. Students will do detailed laboratory work in the techniques of electron microscopy. Depending on the number of credits a student registers for, and the topic and course orientation, laboratory work, library work, written and/or oral presentations may be a course requirement.
The course of intrauterine somatic development is presented through class discussions, visual aids, and occasional laboratory demonstrations in conjunction with ANA 811. This course should not be elected by a student desiring a detailed review of prenatal human development.
The course consists of lecture, small group, laboratory, and palpation exercises that provide a basic understanding of anatomical principles, organization and development. Anatomical structures are introduced as a basis for future functional correlates and principles are taught via laboratory discussions, prosections, disections, films and skeletal materials. Lecture, 20 hours per week.
Analysis of demographic and institutional patterns, social roles, psychological and physiological changes, and social policies and programs associated with aging.
