A predictive modeling system for manufacturing process parameters
(1990)
A methodology was developed using neural network theory to predict the occurrence of out of control process parameter conditions in a composite board manufacturing facility. Three weeks of process parameter data were ...
A new approach for resolving certain linear optimization problems using separation theory
(1994)
This dissertation poses fundamentally new results based on separation theory to resolve a number of issues in linear optimization. First, redundancies present in a collection of linear inequalities are characterized, and ...
Adaptive control requirements for the quadriparetic driver
(1979)
One of the needs of the rehabilitation industry in the United States is definitive information on the capability of severely injured patients. As a beginning toward satisfying this need, this research reports the levels ...
Polynomial forecasting utilizing exponential smoothing on successive coefficient determinations
(1969)
Economic forecasting techniques are being successfully applied to problems of inventory and production control. Literature on this subject is generally divided into two classifications: the first being a qualitative approach ...
Optimum packaging design and component sparing policies for repairable complex systems
(1970)
The primary objective of this research is to provide an analytical solution to the problem of optimizing the design of repairable complex systems. Failed modules are considered to be either repairable or throw-away. The ...
A standard procedure for the prediction of system availability as utilized in system effectiveness evaluations
(1972)
This project accomplishes the basic and applied research concerning the prediction of system availability so that a handbook of system availability model solutions and techniques for the estimation, allocation and optimization ...
An optimal dynamic policy for the design and maintenance of flexible pavements
(1969)
The primary objective of this research is to provide an analytical solution to the optimal flexible pavement design problem. The procedure is based upon empirical equations for deflection, performance, and traffic. These ...
Auditory flutter fusion as a measure of environment on mental stress
(1970)
This research was undertaken to determine the repeatability of the deviation in auditory flutter fusion when utilized as a measure of induced mental stress and to evaluate the ability of auditory flutter fusion to reflect ...
Development of a programming language for multistage optimization
(1969)
The primary objective of this research is to provide a user-oriented computer language for multistage optimization. While multistage optimization problems may assume many diversified forms in many areas of application, a ...
Determination of corporate objectives and evaluation of alternative strategies through the use of simulation models
(1970)
The primary objective of this research is the development of a series of computer simulation models which will demonstrate the feasibility of using simulation techniques to assist management in strategic planning. The ...
