An Empirical Model for Estimating Remediation Costs at Contaminated Sites
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science + Business Media, Inc., 2005-10)
A model for estimating the remediation costs at contaminated sites is developed, in which the predictor variable is a composite of surface, subsurface, and contaminant risk factors. Calibration of the model is performed ...
Fourth-order compact schemes of a heat conduction problem with Neumann boundary conditions AMS subject classification: 65M06, 65M12
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-09)
In this article, a set of fourth-order compact finite difference schemes is developed to solve a heat conduction problem with Neumann boundary conditions. It is derived through the compact difference schemes at all interior ...

Fourth-order compact schemes for solving multidimensional heat problems with Neumann boundary conditions
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2008-01)
In this article, two sets of fourth-order compact finite difference schemes are constructed for solving heat-conducting problems of two or three dimensions, respectively. Both problems are with Neumann boundary conditions. ...
