    Notes: Recently, we developed a linear programming model to aid an electric utility company in evaluating several long-term operating decisions. Variations of this model provide insights into daily operations and valuation of supply contracts. This paper outlines the important characteristics of this class of network models including the usage of a gas storage facility, the use of market forecasts of gas prices, and the accommodation of gas contract structures. In addition, we develop a scenario optimization procedure in which demand forecasts provide scenarios. We also describe ways in which these models were automated to drive a decision support system.

    Notes: Recent caliche, including nodules, pisolites, crusts, internal sediment, speleothem deposits, and spherulites, has formed within the dolomitic Cretaceous Edwards Formation of central Texas. As weathering altered the host strata, rhombic crystals of calcite were precipitated concomitantly with dissolution of the dolomite, thereby forming nodules. The highly altered dolomite (i.e. pulverulite) was then removed and spar, internal sediment, and travertine accumulated in the internodular voids. Nodular masses of calcite and dolomite are the most prominent constituent of the caliche. Some of the nodules have a well developed concentric structure as well as other characteristics similar to hypersaline pisolites. Features which appear to be useful in distinguishing caliche from hypersaline pisolites are: regional geological setting, association with other caliche and palaeosoil deposits, types of fossils present, and the presence of rhombic calcite and/or bladed sparry calcite with triangular shaped cross-section. A brick-like calcite texture and relict aragonite rays characterize hypersaline pisolites. Incipient neomorphism of the nodules and pisolites has resulted in the development of a radial pattern of spar within these structures. Geopetal deposits of internal sediment, including terra rossa soil, inhibited spar growth in the upward direction; consequently, spar is much better developed on the undersides of pisolites. Crusts and travertine flowstone (speleothem) deposits are intimately associated with the nodular masses and internal sediment. The brecciated thin crusts and travertine flowstone are end products of the same processes. The crusts formed during times of periodic desiccation of the growing surface while the flowstone formed when water was relatively abundant. Spherulitic bodies within the caliche, commonly 1–2 mm in diameter, display a radial texture and yet are composed of single crystals of calcite. The structures are the product of neomorphosed Microcodium or Microcodium-like globular bodies.

    Notes: An environment in which learning is facilitated is multidimensional. On one axis is the content producer/deliverer and on another is a learner. Regardless of the other axes, a learning environment requires a set of interactions between the former and the latter and the flow of information can be in either direction. What do the producers/deliverers need in order to use Internet-based resources as part of their "bag of tricks" to build a learning environment? What are the expectations, skill sets and experiences of the learners? This note reflects the author's experiences over a four-year time span in attempting to answer the question raised in the title.

    Notes: Many universities and colleges seem to be serious about exploring the potential of using technology in the classroom as a way to facilitate the creation of learning environments. Changes in attitudes and policies must take place if these institutions wish to ensure that their best faculty are engaged in the process. Universities usually value original research over research that leads to understanding that produces competence. It is incumbent upon those who would classify themselves as researchers in the latter category to take the lead in defining how one assesses whether students have in fact gained a level of understanding that produces competence. Failure to do so and leave the process up to the university as a whole will probably ensure that the initiative is abandoned or that it dies a slow death because competent faculty are not involved.

    Notes: Internet-based course resources have been used for three years in a freshman-level course in physical geology at the University of Houston. Although access to the Internet is available on campus in computer clusters and in the library, an increasing percentage of students now have access where they live. Similarly, an increasing number of students possess sufficient computing skills to make immediate use of the Internet as an adjunct to texts, course notes and formal lectures. Students are free to pick and choose among most of the course resources (the syllabus, course notes, course outline, virtual field trips among others) but are required to use the Internet to obtain the homework exercises, gather the required data, and interpret their findings. In addition, the student is responsible for anything "extra" which appears from time-to-time during the course. Has the use of Internet-based resources added value to the course? Meaningful communication has been facilitated through e-mail exchanges and responses to surveys designed to sample student preparation, expectations, attitude toward the course and toward higher education in general. Internet-based homework affords students the opportunity to be actively involved in making observations, gathering data and interpretation. Perhaps learning how they will learn in the future will turn out to be the undergraduate student's most lasting benefit of this experiment with creating a learning environment via the Internet.

    Notes: Abstract A framework for and a computational model of organizational behavior based on an artificial adaptive system (AAS) is presented. An AAS, a modeling approach based on genetic algorithms, enables the modeling of organizational learning and adaptability. This learning can be represented as decisions to allocate resources to the higher performing organizational agents (i.e., individuals, groups, departments, or processes, depending on the level of analysis) critical to the organization's survival in different environments. Adaptability results from the learning function enabling the organizations to change as the environment changes. An AAS models organizational behavior from a micro-unit perspective, where organizational behavior is a function of the aggregate actions and interactions of each of the individual agents of which the organization is composed. An AAS enables organizational decision making in a dynamic environment to be modeled as a satisficing process and not as a maximization process. To demonstrate the feasibility and usefulness of such an approach, a financial trading adaptive system (FTAS) organization is computationally modeled based on the AAS framework. An FTAS is an example of how the learning mechanism in an AAS can be used to allocate resources to critical individuals, processes, functions, or departments within an organization.
