Quantifying the Benefit of Ensemble Selection for Optimization Under Uncertainty
(2014-08-07)
Due to significant uncertainty in reservoir parameters, maximizing reservoir potential is an extremely difficult task. To be able to make decisions that maximize the reservoir potential, knowledge of possible ranges of ...
History Matching and Optimization Using Stochastic Methods: Applications to Chemical Flooding
(2014-09-04)
A typical lifecycle of an oil and gas field is characterized by three stages: primary recovery by natural depletion, secondary recovery by fluid injection, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The primary goal of reservoir ...
Modeling, Design and Optimization of IC Power Delivery with On-Chip Regulation
(2014-12-11)
As IC technology continues to follow the Moore’s Law, IC designers have been constantly challenged with power delivery issues. While useful power must be reliably delivered to the on-die functional circuits to fulfill the ...
A Systems-Integration Approach to Optimizing the Water-Energy Nexus in Energy Surplus Processes
(2014-10-02)
The objective of this research was to develop novel tools for systematically optimizing the benefits of the water-energy nexus in processes with surplus energy. The developed approach consists of the following problems: ...
Challenges and Solutions for Intrusion Detection in Wireless Mesh Networks
(2014-05-03)
The problem of intrusion detection in wireless mesh networks (WMN) is challenging,
primarily because of lack of single vantage points where traffic can be analyzed
and the limited resources available to participating nodes. ...
Automated and Optimized Project Scheduling Using BIM
(2014-04-04)
Construction project scheduling is one of the most important tools for project
managers in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The
Construction schedules allow project managers to track and ...
Sythhesis and Optimization of Hybrid Membrane Desalination Networks with Value Extraction
(2014-02-04)
Membrane desalination technology has become a valuable advanced water treatment process to purify difficult water sources for potable use. Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) processes are commonly used desalination ...
A New Design Method Framework for Open Origami Design Problems
(2014-08-12)
With the development of computer science and manufacturing techniques, modern origami is no longer just used for making artistic shapes as its traditional counterpart was many centuries ago. Instead, the outstanding ...
Modeling Low Impact Development at the Small-Watershed Scale: Implications for the Decision Making Process
(2014-12-03)
Negative effects of urban stormwater runoff on water environment have been a growing concern in the United States. Drastic change in land uses to urban communities with pavements from natural land uses can destroy the ...
Effective Reservoir Management Using Streamline-Based Reservoir Simulation, History Matching and Rate Allocation Optimization
(2014-08-28)
The use of the streamline-based method for reservoir management is receiving increased interest in recent years because of its computational advantages and intuitive appeal for reservoir simulation, history matching and ...
