Stochastic capacity modeling to support demand/capacity gap planning
Capacity strategy has established methods of dealing with uncertainty in future demand. This project advances the concept of capacity strategy under conditions of uncertainty in cases where capacity is the primary source of uncertainty. Novartis Vaccines, one of five divisions of Novartis AG, …

On network coding capacity : matroidal networks and network capacity regions
… coding is to determine the network coding capacity of networks under various network coding schemes. In this thesis, we address the problem with two approaches: matroidal networks and capacity regions. In our matroidal approach, we prove the converse of the theorem which states that, if a …

On Capacity Estimation and Capacity-Safety Relationship in an Air Transportation Network
… of flights as links considers capacity as its limiting factor. Whereas, an airspace network that consists of airways (as links) and waypoints (as nodes) providing an orderly flow of air traffic and safe separation between flights considers collision risk as its limiting factor. …

Managing Self-Scheduling Capacity
… In other words, the platform does not set its capacity's schedule; instead its capacity "self-schedules." This decentralization of decision making can create value for providers. The platform's challenge is then to devise a contract with its capacity that allows it to capture some of this …

Corruption and Policy Capacity
… compliance, aggravated by a context of low state capacity and limited resources. After an introductory chapter contextualising the following work, three substantive chapters provide empirical results and theoretical models documenting the methodology and the consequent findings. Chapter 2 examines …

Calculating humanitarian response capacity
… affected. Our thesis evaluates the response capacity of the UNHRDs to a single potential disaster: what percentage of total affected people can be served and in what time period. Developed from a stochastic linear programming model, this two-part index assumes that the depots operate as a …

CapaCity In the Sky
… Effectively doubling the mass transit capacity through this new layer in the sky. Though this thesis is largely theoretical, it does use/make reference to Manhattan as a case study from which to design. For its unique density, history and public spaces render it an ideal site for such …

Absorptive capacity of the firm
Absorptive capacity is a set of capabilities of the firm which enable it to recognise, acquire, assimilate and apply toward commercial purposes the technology and knowledge available in its external environment (Cohen and Levinthal (1990)). What are these capabilities? This thesis has three aims: …

Building Coercive Capacity: Three Essays
… Conflict Over Property Rights Shapes State Capacity” focuses on Japanese-led state-building in Manchuria. I examine the strategies that states utilize in expanding state capacity through exploiting ethnic conflicts and cleavages between its subjects, finding that conflict can induce …

Axial Capacity of Drilled Shafts
Less scatter is demonstrated for shafts in clay versus those in sand. More scatter is apparent for shafts constructed using slurry. Little scatter is shown for cased shafts. No trend is shown for slump, date of construction, or type of drilling tool. No significant effect is found for the rate of …

Mismatch capacity per unit cost
The mismatch channel capacity per unit cost represents the maximum number of bits per unit cost that can be transmitted reliably across a channel under receiver mismatch conditions. It's reciprocal is the minimal cost of transmitting a bit reliably under these conditions. We derive lower bounds for …

Multishot Capacity of Adversarial Networks
… Ravagnani, with particular focus on the one-shot capacity: a measure of the maximum number of symbols that can be transmitted in a single use of the network without errors. In this thesis, both bounds and capacity-achieving schemes are provided for families of adversarial networks in multiple …

An analysis of runway capacity
… arrive at equations with which to predict runway capacity from a knowledge of the independent variables under study. Before any analysis could take place it was necessary to know how much data should be collected through simulation to insure-statistically sound results. The combinations of levels …

The Impacts of Road Capacity Removal
… a clearer understanding of how removing road capacity effects traffic distribution. Three freeway segments were ultimately selected for case study analysis: two in San Francisco and one in Milwaukee. This analysis consisted of identifying changes in the traffic volumes and volume-capacity …

Near-capacity MIMOs using iterative detection
… with Sphere Packing (SP) modulation. The related capacity analysis shows that the DSTS-SP scheme exhibits a higher capacity than its counterpart dispensing with SP. Furthermore, in order to attain additional performance gains, the DSTS system invokes iterative detection, where the outer code is …

Force generating capacity of human muscle
The proportion of maximum force (% PF max) utilised during cycling exercise was determined within a group of trained and untrained subjects. Maximum forces were determined isokinetically and submaximum forces were measured during continuous progressive exercise tests.

Is semantic priming influenced by capacity?
… they are for naming task due to the increased capacity demands of the lexical-decision task, and 2) priming found with the keypress task is greater than the priming found with the vocal tasks due to facilitatory activation of the left hemisphere, leading to enhanced right-hand responding for …
