    • Study of a Real-time Adaptive Closed-loop Control Algorithm for Reservoir Operation 

      Buchanan, Ross B.; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory for Water Resources and Hydrodynamics, Department of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-07)
      Recent studies on the optimal control of the High Aswan Dam in Egypt have illustrated the usefulness of steady-state stochastic dynamic programming techniques for deriving optimal release policies. This work likewise uses ...

    • The Practice of Kriging 

      Kafritsas, John; Bras, Rafael L. (Cambridge, Mass. : Ralph M. Parsons Laboratory, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981-01)
      The theory of intrinsic random functions of order k (IRF-K) and its use in optimal linear interpolation is presented using a simple deterministic formulation. Also outlined are the procedures for identification of generalized ...
