  • Mechanical design under changing customer requirements case study : BugID

    Creator:
    Fagan, Chris R.
    Abstract:
    Customer requirements and engineering specifications will influence the direction of the design in any product, so it is crucial to make the requirements as stable as possible so quality designs can be produced on time within a budget. It would be optimal for requirements and specifications to remain constant but...

  • Development of a mobile process to extract phosphorus from livestock wastes as a valuable fertilizer

    Creator:
    Hoilman, Gene
    Abstract:
    Environmental and regulatory concerns are causing confined animal feeding operations (CAFO's) to account for phosphorous content when applying wastewater to agricultural fields for disposal. In most cases this requires more land to spread the waste onto so that the phosphorous needs of the crop are not exceeded. A mobile process...

  • Simulator-Defined MDP Planning with Applications in Natural Resource Management

    Creator:
    Alkaee Taleghan, Majid
    Abstract:
    This work is inspired by problems in natural resource management centered on the challenge of invasive species. Computing optimal management policies for maintaining ecosystem sustainable is challenging. Many ecosystem management problems can be formulated as MDP (Markov Decision Process) planning problems. In a simulator-defined MDP, the Markovian dynamics and rewards...

  • Adaptive Multiagent Traffic Management for Autonomous Robotic Systems

    Creator:
    Rebhuhn, Carrie
    Abstract:
    There is growing commercial interest in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in urban environments, specifically for package delivery applications. However, the size, complexity and sheer numbers of expected UAVs makes conventional air traffic management that relies on human air traffic controllers infeasible. To enable UAVs to safely and...

  • An Information Modeling Framework for Support of Sustainable Manufacturing System Design Decision Making

    Creator:
    Shankar Raman, Arvind
    Abstract:
    Manufacturing technology has continuously evolved and advanced over the past century; this has led to an increase in the production of consumer and industrial goods driven by simultaneous growth in population and wealth. Despite the resulting economic and labor growth, environmental impacts of manufacturing have increased dramatically due to the...

  • Effectiveness of integration of internet technologies in support of teaching and learning computer science programming

    Creator:
    Hajebi, Mojgan
    Abstract:
    In spite of wide spread adoption of the internet technology in teaching and learning, little research exists on the use and the effect of web incorporation in teaching and learning. Immediate clarification of how, when, and for whom the web integration in education is beneficial is needed. This qualitative study...

  • Assisting Sustainability Analysis of Forest Bioenergy Supply Chains using Mathematical Optimization

    Creator:
    Sadeghi, Javad
    Abstract:
    Changes in the global climate and forest management practices have given rise to increasing numbers and severity of wildfires. More than five million acres burned in the United States in 2017, while in Canada 7.4 million acres burned. In particular, an increasing amount of dead woody biomass is a key...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Computing Resource Usage as a Factor of Student Success

    Creator:
    Moissinac, Béatrice
    Abstract:
    Learning Analytics and other branches of Educational Research such as Computing Education Research (CER) implicitly assume that students, especially college students, have no barriers to access learning platforms or software packages. This assumption may be attributed to such pervasive beliefs such as "everyone has a device", or "everyone can access...

    Creator:
    Jung, Seikyung
    Abstract:
    Accessing information on the Web has become ingrained into our daily lives, and we seek information from many different sources, including conference and journal publications, personal web pages, and others. Increasingly, web-based information retrieval systems such as web-based search engines, library on-line catalog systems, and subscription-based federated search systems are...
