(2022-01-04)Biomass-fungi composites represent a sustainable material with applications in the construction and packaging industries. Currently, molding is used to manufacture biomass-fungi composite products. 3D printing of these ...
-
(2021-07-01)Distributed optimization often requires finding the minimum of a global objective function written as a sum of local functions. A group of agents work collectively to minimize the global function. We study a continuous-time ...
-
(2020-11-30)High integration of intermittent renewable energy sources (RES), specifically wind power, has created complexities in power system operations due to their limited controllability and predictability. In addition, large ...
-
(2022-08-17)Telehealth, which involves the use of telecommunication technologies to provide virtual care, has received special attention in the recent years for improving access to healthcare and for supporting integrated care for ...
-
(2022-11-18)Drowsy driving is a major safety concern that has resulted in many deaths and injuries over the years. One population that is particularly susceptible to drowsy driving is night-shift nurses due to their extended hours of ...
-
(2021-07-12)Metal additive manufacturing (AM) or metal three-dimensional (3D) printing offers significant benefits for manufacturing parts with features and capabilities that conventional techniques cannot match. Meanwhile, it is ...
-
(2010-01-14)This dissertation presents an algorithm to solve optimization problems with "black-box" objective functions, i.e., functions that can only be evaluated by running a computer program. Such optimization problems often arise ...
-
(2012-10-19)With the advent of the modern technological age, a plethora of electronic tools and devices are available in numbers as never before. While beneficial and ex-ceedingly useful, these electronic devices require users to ...
-
(2018-11-20)This thesis concentrates on algorithms for finding all the maximal k-edge-connected components in a given graph G = (V, E) where V and E represent the set of vertices and the set of edges, respectively, which are further ...
-
(2014-08-10)This dissertation develops theory and methodology based on Fenchel cutting planes for solving stochastic integer programs (SIPs) with binary or general integer variables in the second-stage. The methodology is applied to ...
-
(2011-10-21)Order picking operations play a critical role in the order fulfillment process of distribution centers (DCs). Picking a batch of orders is often favored when customers’ demands create a large number of small orders, since ...
-
(2014-01-17)Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is a critical tool in the development of modern products. Companies pride themselves on their employees’ CAD knowledge with respect to the products they are able to model. It is important that ...
-
(2020-11-17)In this dissertation, we consider sequential optimization decision making problems, which entail making optimal decisions at specified epochs of time to maximize or minimize the specific objective of the decision maker. ...
-
(2012-04-27)The sense of touch is uniquely suited for displaying certain types of information, such as navigation instructions and high-level messaging. As part of a line of research in developing a vibrotactile communication system ...
-
(2021-05-06)Miscalibrated relationships between operator trust and automation can lead to accidents, some even fatal. If an operator either over or under trusts the system's capability, their overall assessment of the system's reliability ...
-
(2017-07-31)Clinical inertia (CI) is the failure to intensify treatment in patients with evidence of poor glycemic control. It is a critical barrier in the effective management of type 2 diabetes and can have adverse effects, such as ...
-
(2012-10-19)The functional properties of nanoparticles highly depend on the surface morphology of the particles, so precise measurements of a particle's morphology enable reliable characterizing of the nanoparticle's properties. ...
-
(2020-04-22)The proposed project focuses on the issue of inaccurate temperature control in a critical environment. Currently, there are two options with respect to radiation testing, in house radiation testing, or traveling to third ...
-
(2017)BACKGROUND: Diabetes self-management involves adherence to healthy daily habits typically involving blood glucose monitoring, medication, exercise, and diet. To support self-management, some providers have begun testing ...
-
(2010-01-14)This dissertation presents a Bayesian hierarchical model to combine two-resolution metrology data for inspecting the geometric quality of manufactured parts. The high- resolution data points are scarce, and thus scatter ...
