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...
The optimal allocation of buffers in serial production systems is one of the oldest and most researched problems in Industrial Engineering. In general, there are three main approaches to the buffer allocation problem when the objective is to maximize throughput. The first is basically a systematic trial and error procedure...
SIDAC-I is a digital analog simulator which permits analog as
well as hybrid simulations to be programmed on a digital computer.
FORTRAN, a scientific computer language, may be included as an
integral part of the SIDAC-I simulation language. The simulator
consists of a controller program and a set of predefined...
The objectives of this study are to revise and reformulate a
previous simulation model of the Calapooia River and proposed
Holley Dam project and to critically investigate the anadromous
fish enhancement function of the project.
The Corps of Engineers proposes a 145,000 acre-foot reservoir
for the Calapooia River at Holley,...
This research develops an object-oriented approach of modeling microprocessor architecture. A generic modeling library, bBlocks, is proposed as a framework for constructing microprocessor simulation. bBlocks is a collection of predefined abstract components (blocks) implemented in Java, the object-oriented programming language. Blocks are defined and used as the basic components in...
In this thesis, we develop a simulator for estimating the energy consumed in executing tasks on a mobile device - the Palm Pilot. We measured the energy consumed by each instruction of the device's assembly language and incorporated these measurements into a public domain emulator for the Palm Pilot. This...
This simulation is a model for a tidal power-peaking plant that
can be used to determine the electrical peaking generation for a given
set of conditions.
The simulation internally contains a tide producing function
for a specific year, the hydraulic characteristics of the plant, and the
plant's machines' characteristics. The...
I used program CAPTURE to analyze 1,535 data sets for 33 North American species of small mammals for sources of variation in capture probabilities and to characterize species-specific responses to markrecapture trapping. CAPTURE incorporates seven models to account for all possible combinations of heterogeneity (h), behavioral response (b), and time...
