    Abstract:
    Ship turnaround time at a marine containerport is an important measure of the port's efficiency and attractiveness. Both the speed and quality of load planning affect the length of turnaround time considerably. Past attempts at computerizing the load planning function have been unsatisfactory and have not reflected the port's objective...

  • An analysis of montane forest vegetation on the east flank of the central Oregon Cascades

    Creator:
    West, Neil E.
    Abstract:
    Montane forest vegetation as it occurs on the east flank of the central Oregon Cascades has provided excellent conditions for a "natural experiment" in the use of various methodologies in studying vegetational distribution. This "experiment" has reflected on some theory and practice for the discipline of plant synecology. Detailed descriptions,...

  • Multiobjective decision making in industrial energy and environmental planning

    Creator:
    Kang, Hee Jung
    Abstract:
    Multiobjective Decision Making (MODM) has been suggested for the solution of complicated decision problems. Decision analysis in numerous areas, including industrial energy and environmental planning, necessarily requires consideration of multiple conflicting objectives. MODM has been successfully applied to a number of these problems of this type. Moreover, it has the...

  • A multiple criteria Markovian Decision Process

    Creator:
    Sohn, Sangwon
    Abstract:
    A composite system of a Markovian Decision Process with multiple criteria involves both discounting criteria and nondiscounting criteria. The measurement of the discounting criteria is chosen to be the total sum of the payoffs over the time horizon and the measurement of the non-discounting criteria is chosen to be the...

  • Performance of rotary regenerative heat exchanger--a numerical simulation

    Creator:
    Bae, Young Lib
    Abstract:
    This thesis examines the transient and steady-state temperature performance of a rotary regenerative heat exchanger. In contrast to previous studies on this problem, fluid flow in the circumferential direction was considered. Appropriate modeling was included to measure the effect of carry-over on the differential equations describing mass and energy conservation....

    Abstract:
    Two strategic approaches to water quality control in Oregon's Willamette River are presently being utilized: point source treatment and flow augmentation. Dry weather releases from reservoirs are for authorized purposes other than water quality. Reservoirs can participate in pollution control by summer flow augmentation where authorized water resource objectives (flood...
