Queueing Network Approximations for Mass Dispensing and Vaccination Clinics
(2007)
To respond to bioterrorism events or to curb outbreaks of contagious diseases, county health departments must set up and operate clinics to dispense medications or vaccines. Planning these clinics before such an event ...
Bi-Level Hierarchical Layouts for Photo Libraries: Algorithms for Design Optimization with Quantum Content
(2005)
A frequently-used layout for a collection of two-dimensional, fixed aspect-ratio objects, such as photo thumbnails, is the grid, in which rows and columns are configured to match the allowed space. However, in cases where ...
Using Rhythms of Relationships to Understand Email Archives
(2005)
Due to email ubiquitous nature, millions of users are intimate with the technology. However, most users are only familiar with managing their own email, which is an inherently different task than exploring an email archive. ...
Energy- and Power-Balance Assessment of Base Isolated Structures Supplemented with Modified Bang-Bang Control
(2005)
This report is the second in series investigating the feasibility of supplementing base isolation with active bang-bang control mechanisms. We formulate discrete approximations to energy- and power-balance equations for a ...
Computational Assessment of Suboptimal Bang-Bang Control Strategies for Performance-Based Design of Base Isolated Structures
(2005)
This report explores the symbolic solution of the Lyapunov matrix equation as it applies to modified bang-bang control of base isolated structures. We present the Modified Bang-Bang Control strategy for active control of ...
Phase Analysis of Actuator Response for Sub-Optimal Bang-Bang and Velocity Cancellation Control of Base Isolated Structures
(2005)
Starting with simplified models of displacement response for a base isolated structure supplemented with sub-optimal bang-bang control, we formulate models of phase analysis of actuator force direction in relation to system ...
National Aviation System Congestion Management
(2006)
This report will mainly talk about three different projects, all of which focus on the theme of improving the operation of the national airspace system in order to make it more efficient. All of these projects contain a ...
Using Categorical Information in Multidimensional Data Sets: Interactive Partition and Cluster Comparison
(2005)
Multidimensional data sets often include categorical information. When most columns have categorical information, clustering the data set by similarity of categorical values can reveal interesting patterns in the data set. ...
Systems Engineering: Quick Dispensing Clinic and Schroeder Industries
(2006)
During the course of our ten-week program, we have been working with Dr. Jeffrey Herrmann on projects involving computer simulations. We have had two projects dealing with applied industrial engineering theories, Brooke ...
Modeling Demand Uncertainties during Ground Delay Programs
(2002)
Uncertainty in air traffic arrival demand creates difficulties for the Air Traffic Control (ATC) specialists in effectively planning Ground Delay Programs(GDPs). An inefficiently planned GDP leads to excessive flight delays ...
