An Exact Algorithm and a Local Search Heuristic for a Two Runway Scheduling Problem
(2011-02-22)
A generalized dynamic programming based algorithm and a local search heuristic
are used to solve the Two Runway Departure Scheduling Problem that arises at
an airport. The objective of this work is to assign the departing ...
Reduced-sensing Control Methods for Infinite-dimensional Systems
(2010-10-12)
Infinite dimensional systems such as flexible airplane wings and Vertical Axis Wind
Turbine (VAWT) blades may require control to improve performance. Traditional
control techniques use position and velocity information ...
A Systematic Approach to Offshore Fields Development Using an Integrated Workflow
(2010-10-12)
I present a systematic method to primary develop existing black oil fields. This
method uses integrated reservoir development workflow (IRDW) that relies on
integrated asset model (IAM). Developing any existing field means ...
High Temperature, Buried Permanent Magnet, Brushless DC Motor
(2010-10-12)
A high temperature magnetic bearing system using high temperature permanent magnets from Electron Energy Corporation (EEC) is under development. The system consists of two radial bearings, one thrust bearing, two radial ...
Experimental Study of Steam Surfactant Flood for Enhancing Heavy Oil Recovery After Waterflooding
(2010-07-14)
Steam injection with added surface active chemicals is one of general EOR
processes aimed to recover residual oil after primary production processes. It has been
demonstrated that, after waterflooding, an oil swept area ...
Study of Possible Applications of Currently Available Building Information Modeling Tools for the Analysis of Initial Costs and Energy Costs for Performing Life Cycle Cost Analysis
(2011-02-22)
The cost of design, construction and maintenance of facilities is on continual rise. The demand is to construct facilities which have been designed by apply life cycle costing principles. These principles have already given ...
The STAPL pList
(2011-02-22)
We present the design and implementation of the Standard Template Adap-
tive Parallel Library (stapl) pList, a parallel container that has the properties of
a sequential list, but allows for scalable concurrent access when ...
Light Scattering Problem and its Application in Atmospheric Science
(2011-02-22)
The light scattering problem and its application in atmospheric science is studied
in this thesis. In the first part of this thesis, light scattering theory of single irregular
particles is investigated. We first introduce ...
Wave Interactions with Arrays of Bottom-Mounted Circular Cylinders: Investigation of Optical and Acoustical Analogies
(2010-10-12)
Wave scattering by arrays of cylinders has received special attention by many authors and analytical solutions have been derived. The investigation of optical and acoustical analogies to the problem of interaction of water ...
The Method of Distributed Volumetric Sources for Forecasting the Transient and Pseudo-steady State Productivity of Multiple Transverse Fractures Intersected by a Horizontal Well
(2011-02-22)
This work of well performance modeling is focused on solving problems of transient and pseudo-steady state fluid flow in a rectilinear closed boundaries reservoir. This model has been applied to predict and to optimize gas ...
