  • Parallel simplex algorithms and loop spreading

    Creator:
    Wu, Youfeng
    Abstract:
    Parallel solutions for two classes of linear programs are presented. First we parallelized the two-phase revised simplex algorithm and showed that it is possible to get linear improvement in performance. The simplex algorithm is the best known algorithm for solving linear programs, and we claim our result is the best...

  • The relationship between vehicle miles traveled and economic activity

    Creator:
    Eckstein, Nathan
    Abstract:
    Vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in the U.S. have exhibited an upward trend over time similar to that observed for GDP and personal income. While conventional wisdom suggests that economic growth leads to more driving and thus higher VMT, it is theoretically possible that the causation could also be the other...

  • Multi-Scale Dynamic Monitoring and Behavior of Cross-Laminated Timber Elements and Systems

    Creator:
    Mugabo, Ignace
    Abstract:
    Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is one of the latest engineered wood products to show promising structural features for a variety of structural purposes including resisting lateral loads. For CLT to be widely adopted, its modal behavior needs to be fully evaluated through experimental and numerical methods. It is important to the...

  • Estimating the Size of Clustered Hidden Populations

    Creator:
    Gamble, Laura J.
    Abstract:
    Successive sampling population size estimation (SS-PSE) is a method used by government agencies and aid organizations around the world to estimate the size of hidden populations using data from respondent-driven sampling (RDS) surveys. SS-PSE ad-dresses a specific need in estimation and helps us evaluate the vulnerability of areas to HIV...

  • Practical application of steady-state 6-DoF aerodynamic model for vehicle system loads analysis

    Creator:
    Torris, Connor J.
    Abstract:
    This work develops the Global Formula Racing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in StarCCM+ to allow for vehicle attitude studies to be ran to evaluate Formula Student (FS) vehicle aerodynamic loads. Attitudes that this model allows to be studied include roll, pitch, yaw, heave, tire angle, and vehicle speed. The...
