Natural state modelling of a vapor dominated system : case study Darajat, Indonesia
… data sets with those presented in the early model. This study also investigates the sensitivity to relative permeability functions for production modelling. However, these cannot be calibrated due to this study being only natural state modelling. The expanded stratigraphy and resistivity …

The response of Hagafellsjökull Vestari glacier, Iceland, to future climate scenarios computed with a dynamic glacier flowline model coupled to a degree-day mass balance model
A dynamic glacier flowline model is coupled to a degree-day mass balance model with the purpose of modelling the response of Hagafellsjökull vestari glacier to future climate change scenarios. The degree-day mass balance model is calibrated using mass balance measurements for the period 1997-2007. …

Model Calibration with Machine Learning
… the application of neural networks to financial model calibration. It provides an introduction to the mathematics of basic neural networks and training algorithms. Two simplified experiments based on the Black-Scholes and constant elasticity of variance models are used to demonstrate the …

Behavioral Biases in General Equilibrium: Implications for Wealth Inequality and Human Capital Formation
… understood general equilibrium macroeconomic models populated by overlapping generations of heterogeneous agents. Specifically, I analyze the implications of populating model economies with present-biased agents who are finitely lived, subject to idiosyncratic labor income shocks, and …

Risk Sharing and Asset Returns in Stochastic Endogenous Growth Models
… implications of a stochastic endogenous growth model with heterogeneous agents and incomplete markets are analyzed. The asset market structure of the economy is incomplete in the sense that households in the model economy can trade shares in a stock company and a risk free bond in financial …

Modeling effects of U-tube aeration in recirculating aquaculture systems
… on oxygen transfer requirements. A computer model was developed to simulate multi-component gas transfer and biological respiration in a pilot scale recirculating aquaculture system employing an u-tube aerator. Gas transfer and/or biological respiration are modeled for all system components; …

Global heat balance without and with solar radiation management
"A linearized global heat balance model which is driven by five classes of influence on long wavelength radiation and four classes of influence on short wavelength radiation is calibrated against historical estimates of global average temperature. Additional influences are variability of solar …

Effects of planning and policy decisions on residential land use in Singapore
… of residential land. A dynamic stock-and- ow model is described to calculate the historical residential land use footprint and mean residential redevelopment time between 1990 and 2011. Finding that the primary driver of residential land use footprint is the change in household occupant …

Application of A System Dynamic Model on U.S. Regional Real Estate Industry
… dynamics methodology. Building upon the original model by John Sterman, the study expands it by introducing new structures related to construction-in-progress, unit prices, alternative funds, and sales. The model undergoes calibration utilizing historical data from 1975 to 2021, with a focus on …

Integrated network-based thermofluid model of a once-through boiler at full- and part-load
… there is a need for an integrated boiler model that has the necessary detail to study off-design and low load operations of coal-fired power plants. For that reason, a 1D quasi-steady-state thermofluid network model of a tower type once-through boiler was developed using the Flownex …

Assessing methods for predicting retrofit energy savings in buildings : case study of a Norwegian school
… with the EnergyPlus computer software and calibrated against measured utility data. Two simulation calibration techniques are investigated: manual calibration and Latin Hypercube Monte Carlo (LHMC) analysis. LHMC is a statistical technique for calibrating building energy simulations, …

Essays on money and banking: a search-theoretic approach
… the first chapter, I develop a monetary-search model where the money multiplier is endogenously determined. I show that when the central bank pays interest on reserves, the money multiplier and the quantity of the reserve can depend on the nominal interest rate and the interest on reserves. The …

Disaster risk and resiliency in Latin America
… chapter develops a theoretical asset-pricing model that uses the notion of resiliency to economic disasters to explain the empirical observation of a widening in the gap between the PER of resilient (real estate) and non-resilient (stocks, bonds) assets during crises. The model was calibrated …

Quantifying high-resolution hydrologic parameters at the basin scale using InSAR and inverse modeling, Las Vegas Valley, NV
… MCMC). Chapter 4 outlines a fine-scale numerical model capable of capturing far more hydrologic detail than any previously developed model of Las Vegas Valley The new model is calibrated using high-resolution InSAR data and hydraulic head data from 1912 to 2010. The calibrated model is used to …

Calibrating Term Structure Models to an Initial Yield Curve
The modelling of the short rate offers many advantages, with the models explored in this dissertation all offering closed-form, analytic formulae for bond prices and for options on bonds. Often, a vital primary condition is for a model to be calibrated to the initial term structure and to recover …

Water Quality Based Design Guidelines for Successive Alkalinity-Producing Systems Used in the Treatment of Acidic Mine Drainage
… (r = 0.6919). From these relationships, a calibrated model was developed for predicting SAPS net alkalinity generation. As a compliment to the field study, a series of laboratory-scale SAPS columns were studied for a period of 12 months to examine the effect of residence time on system …

Use of global datasets for downscaling soil moisture with the EMT+VS model
Satellite remote sensing and land-surface models provide coarse-resolution (9-40 km) soil moisture estimates, but various applications require fine-resolution (10-30 m) soil moisture patterns. The Equilibrium Moisture from Topography, Vegetation, and Soil (EMT+VS) model downscales soil moisture …
