Creator:: Vertanen, Keith D.
Abstract:: The reaction of fluid or gas flowing around an obstacle is a common engineering problem. Computer simulations are often used to measure and visualize the physical processes involved. In this report, we will discuss a parallel implementation of a simulation using the Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) approach to fluid flow....

Creator:: Kretz, Thomas
Abstract:: For many decades, production and assembly lines have played an important role in industrial manufacturing systems. In particular, they have proved to be an efficient way to organize the production of high volume products in many industries. In their effort to improve the efficiency of production lines, researchers encountered two...

Creator:: Staley, Dan R.
Abstract:: One of the classic problems in industrial engineering is the buffer allocation problem. The objective of the buffer allocation problem is to maximize some line output, typically throughput, through the allocation of buffers throughout the production line. Previous work in this area has focused on either determining general design rules...

Creator:: Ruehr, N. K., Law, B. E., Quandt, D., and Williams, M.
Abstract:: Predicting the net effects on the carbon and water balance of semi-arid forests under future conditions depends on ecosystem processes responding to changes in soil and atmospheric drought. Here we apply a combination of field observations and soil–plant–atmosphere modeling (SPA) to study carbon and water dynamics in a regenerating ponderosa...

Creator:: Hutniczak, Barbara
Abstract:: Multispecies fisheries pose a considerable management difficulty with respect to quota allocation between species. The applicability is to single vessel and its individual quotas, as well as to the fleet as a whole. Negative externalities may be created if Total Allowable Catches (TACs) are not set in optimal proportions. That...

Creator:: Mardle, Simon and Metz, Sebastien
Abstract:: The European Common Fisheries Policy landing obligation has introduced significant uncertainty over quota uptake in the coming years. This year (2016) is the first year of the landing obligation for fleets targeting demersal stocks even though it will not be fully introduced across demersal quota stocks until 2019. A recent...

Creator:: Qiu, Yuming
Abstract:: Risk is a crucial decision factor besides traditional cost and performance during collaborative decision making in a distributed environment. Three main challenges exist: 1) stakeholders' different perspectives and/or diverse cultures can lead to inconsistent risk probability evaluations; 2) risk consequence is hard to be quantified in concrete unit; 3) risk...
