A comparison of single runs versus multistart for simulated annealing and threshold accepting

Creator:: Crews, Matthew
Abstract:: Simulated Annealing and Threshold Accepting are two stochastic search algorithms that have been successfully used on a variety of complex and difficult problem sets. Due to their stochastic nature they are not guaranteed to produce the same result for each run. This means that these techniques actually produce a distribution...

Building brand equity for unfamiliar Asian brands' entry into global markets

Creator:: Song, Sarah Sungsook
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to fill a critical gap in brand equity literature by proposing and empirically testing a brand equity process model for unfamiliar Asian brands. Cue utilization theory (Easterbrook, 1959) and impression formation theory (Asch, 1946) were integrated to explain how extrinsic and intrinsic cues shown...

Dune erosion models and swash zone kinematics from remote video observations

Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L.
Abstract:: The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Development of innovative applications for passive sampling devices : monitoring bioavailability, risk from exposure and environmental mixture toxicity

Creator:: Allan, Sarah E.
Abstract:: Chemicals must be bioavailable for there to be a potential for exposure and consequent risk to human or environmental health. Passive sampling devices (PSDs) are used to quantify the time-integrated concentration of bioavailable contaminants. We demonstrate that PSDs can be paired with the zebrafish developmental toxicity bioassay to produce site-specific,...

Applications of Silicone Wristbands to Improve Personal Chemical Exposure Assessment

Creator:: Dixon, Holly M.
Abstract:: Silicone wristbands are easy-to-wear passive samplers that have been readily adapted into environmental health studies since first reported in 2014. Wristbands can be worn during normal daily activities and sequester a wide range of bioavailable organic chemicals. This dissertation includes a thorough review of silicone wristband technology, as well as...

Vehicle routing and scheduling with delivery and installation

Creator:: Kim, Kyoung Cheol
Abstract:: For manufacturing and service industries to stay competitive in this rapidly changing, globalized world, one of the most important operations, and one that many businesses struggle to plan and manage efficiently, is material handling. There has been a large amount of research on various vehicle routing problems (VRPs) in recent...

The Variable Speed Wave Equation and Perfectly Matched Layers

Creator:: Kim, Dojin
Abstract:: A perfectly matched layer (PML) is widely used to model many different types of wave propagation in different media. It has been found that a PML is often very effective and also easy to set, but still many questions remain. We introduce a new formulation from regularizing the classical Un-Split...

Global Existence and Energy Decay Rates for a Kirchhoff-Type Wave Equation with Nonlinear Dissipation

Creator:: Kim, Daewook, Kim, Dojin, Hong, Keum-Shik, and Jung, Il Hyo
Abstract:: The first objective of this paper is to prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions for a Kirchhoff-type wave equation with nonlinear dissipation of the form Kuⁿ + 𝑀(|𝐴¹/²𝑢|²)𝐴𝑢 + 𝑔(𝑢')=0 under suitable assumptions on 𝐾, 𝐴, 𝑀(⋅), and 𝑔(⋅). Next, we under some growth conditions on the nonlinear...

Comparison of Relationship between Accelerometer Outputs and Energy Expenditures in People with and without Down syndrome during Walking Activity

Creator:: Leung, Chun (Willie)
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been an increased interest in accurately measuring physical activity levels with accelerometers. Two distinct approaches have been used to estimate physical activity levels with accelerometers are vertical axis activity counts and vector magnitude (VM). Although previous studies evaluated these two distinct approaches for individuals without...

Near-Inertial Internal Waves and Sea Ice in the Beaufort Sea

Creator:: Martini, Kim I., Simmons, Harper L., Stoudt, Chase A., and Hutchings, Jennifer K.
Abstract:: The evolution of the near-inertial internal wavefield from ice-free summertime conditions to ice-covered wintertime conditions is examined using data from a yearlong deployment of six moorings on the Beaufort continental slope from August 2008 to August 2009. When ice is absent, from July to October, energy is efficiently transferred from...
