Co-located mills that share a log resource through a single merchandising
facility are challenged with the task of allocating the costs of joint-products in order to
determine log cost for each mill during a given period. While allocating joint-costs is
inherently arbitrary, some allocation must be made to include raw...

The continuous improvement of construction operations requires a systematic approach of monitoring and making appropriate control actions. However, the lack of real-time information hinders this workflow and eventually compromises timely and effective decision-making. Project managers spend a great deal of time and effort to solve problems emerging from lack of...
The goal of this thesis is to ease the adoption of energy-efficient (EE) building strategies for affordable homes in the United States (US). Low-wage earning households spend nearly three times the proportion of their gross annual income on home energy bills resulting in higher energy burden for them when compared...
We used a dynamic hydrology model to simulate water table depth (WTD) and quantify the relationship
between Saint Louis encephalitis virus (SLEV) transmission and hydrologic conditions in Indian River
County, Florida, from 1986 through 1991, a period with an SLEV epidemic. Virus transmission followed
periods of modeled drought (specifically low...
Disease transmission forecasts can help minimize
human and domestic animal health risks by indicating
where disease control and prevention efforts should be
focused. For disease systems in which weather-related
variables affect pathogen proliferation, dispersal, or transmission,
the potential for disease forecasting exists. We
present a seasonal forecast of St. Louis...
The application of residue notation is another
approach for solving the problem of carry propagation in
arithmetic units. Most other methods for solving this
problem are based on changes in adder design and the use
of improved components.
Residue arithmetic has the inherent property of
requiring no carries between moduli....
The use of consumable -electrode arc melting as a production technology
is growing. An advantageous feature of the process is the avoidance of ingot
contamination by soluble crucible materials. This is accomplished by the
expedient of employing a chilled metal crucible. As might be expected, the
thermal balance under these...
Highway work zones are extremely dangerous environments due to the presence of workers near high-speed traveling vehicles. This dynamic environment results in a disproportionate number of accidents that cause injury and casualty to both drivers and workers due primarily to vehicular intrusions into work zones. Several emerging work zone intrusion...
