Brewery Design and Experimentation
The goal of this project was to design full scale breweries with production capacities of 300, 800, and 3000 barrels per day. A base case is presented with alternative cases for consideration. Further analysis of the effects of malt addition, hops addition, and fermentation temperature on the …

Essays on Innovation, Experimentation, and Discrimination
… of this thesis develops a model of serial experimentation where an entrepreneur experiments with different ideas until one of them produces a success. A more creative entrepreneur both generates ideas faster and creates more profits when an idea succeeds. Since creativity is not directly …

Mixing in high throughput experimentation reactors
The application of High Throughput Experimentation (HTE) stirred vessels in the catalyst and pharmaceutical industries enable the parallel screening of potential formulations. Such tasks only require a fraction of the raw material and experimental time that are needed in conventional lab scale …

Autonomous experimentation for molecular discovery applications
Automated experimental systems, which provide a means to accelerate scientific research and the discovery of application-driven materials, are specialized and limited in scope. The inability to pivot to new research areas has driven a shift in design to create generalized systems and incorporate …

Experimentation and Control in Online Platforms
… is paramount. One ubiquitous problem is that of experimentation under "Markovian" interference, where interventions on some experimental units impact other units through modifications to the shared system state (such as a limited inventory). The best existing estimators for this problem are …

The ecological validity of prospective memory experimentation
Prospective memory (PM) is the ability to remember and fulfill future intentions, a crucial ability in everyday life. Discrepancies between performance in standard laboratory tasks versus naturalistic tasks has led to translational concerns to everyday life. Validity concerns surrounding laboratory …

Experimentation During Emerging Adulthood: A Qualitative Analysis
… sum, students described a purposeful process of experimentation that was consistent across behavioral domains. However, each behavioral domain provided unique opportunities for learning. Thus, from the perspective of emerging adults, substance use, alcohol use, and sexual activity, which have …

Kinetic modeling and experimentation of anaerobic digestion
Anaerobic digesters convert organic waste (agricultural and food waste, animal or human manure, and other organic waste), into energy (in the form of biogas or electricity). An added benefit to bio-digestion is a leftover high-grade organic fertilizer. Models of the anaerobic digestion process do …

Integrated microbioreactor arrays for high-throughput experimentation
Bioprocesses with microbial cells play an important role in producing biopharmaceuticals such as human insulin and human growth hormone, and other products such as amino acids and biopolymers. Because bioprocesses involve the complicated interaction between the genetics of the microorganisms and …

Microcomputers in psychological experimentation, headturn: a case study
… to their universal use in psychological experimentation. The specialized needs of experimentation are often poorly served by mass market systems, yet the small size of the psychology market precludes the development of low cost, specialized hardware and software. The "Headturn" technique, …

The ethics of animal experimentation: the Littlewood report
… defence of a laissez-faire approach to animal experimentation is ethically indefensible on grounds that non-human animals are sentient, autonomous beings who express an acute interest in their continued existence and demonstrate an aversion to the frustration of their interests; as such, …

Communities in Social Networks: Detection, Heterogeneity and Experimentation
… we consider how community structure can impact experimentation. It is evident that communities can act in different ways, and it is natural that this propagates into experimental design. As as result, this observation motivates our development of community informed experimental design. This …

Conjunctive Conceptual Clustering: A Methodology and Experimentation (Learning)
This thesis describes a machine learning methodology called conjunctive conceptual clustering. The methodology can find conceptual patterns in data as illustrated by three sample problems. In one problem, the method is used to rediscover categories of soybean disease when given a collection of 47 …

"Learning and experimentation in a ""principal-agent"" framework"
The purpose of this work is to introduce learning and experimenting in a principal-agent model, where the agent has some private information which is valuable for the principal. Intuitively this should lead the principal to experiment in order to improve his knowledge. For this to be possible the …

Using crop simulation to optimize variable rate experimentation
… project are exploring a new concept of on-farm experimentation (OFE). These trials are implemented by farmers at their fields, in a similar way to how they would plant a regular production crop. This concept generates large amounts of data at low cost that, after processing, will generate local …

EXCALIBRATE Bayesian calibration for data-intensive astrophysical experimentation
The detection of minute radio-frequency signals from the primordial Universe are thought to contain fundamental information on the evolution of the first luminous sources. Such breakthroughs however are hindered by the unprecedented levels of sensitivity and calibration needed to confidently …
