A proposed cost-benefit analysis model for physical form analysis for a futuristic submarine decision support system
This thesis proposes a model for cost-benefit analysis for physical form selection of a decision support tool, primarily to support system acquisition decisions that need to be made early in the system life cycle. By bringing objective and subjective costs and benefits into the same model and …

Comparison of two drugs by multiple stage sampling using Bayesian decision theory
… all of the stages of the experiment have been performed, one must make the terminal decision of which of the two populations has the higher probability of success. The optimum strategy is to be optimum relative to a given loss function; and a prior distribution, or weighting function, for the …

Dynamic collision reduction protocol for ultra-wide bandwidth multiple access networks
In this thesis, we provide a cross-layer analysis of the throughput of the dynamic collision reduction (DCR) protocol, a multiple access protocol that requires frame synchronization. At the physical-layer, we develop the optimal neighbor detector for ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) signaling in a dense …

Musical process and the structuring of riffs in Metallica.
… examines how musical processes help shape the formal structures of these riffs. Drawing upon Robert Hopkins's and Wallace Berry's ideas of progression, recession, and stasis as fundamental musical processes, this study explores how certain musical elements define these processes both …

Enhancing Satellite Constellations with Scalable Network Simulation and Rapid Passive Safety Assessment
… passive safety-checking method based on closed-form analysis of relative orbital elements and exact geometric envelopes. By mapping satellite dynamics to the Hill–Clohessy–Wiltshire equations and leveraging analytical solutions to ellipse intersections, this method delivers fast and accurate …

Reliability-Based Topology Optimization with Analytic Sensitivities
… of failure by incorporating a reliability analysis step such as the First-Order Reliability Method (FORM). The FORM analysis requires the solution of an optimization problem however, so implementing this approach into an RBDO routine creates a double-loop optimization structure. For large …

The Interaction of Civic Nationalism and Radical Islam: A Theoretical Examination and Empirical Analysis
… to harness the unifying force of more negative forms of nationalism without the hateful and exclusive practices usually associated with such group identities while also denying the deep theocratic roots that give nationalism its impermeable quality. The competition of these identarian …

The computational analysis of morphosyntactic categories in Urdu
… A rule-based methodology is used here to perform tagging in Urdu. The justification for this choice is discussed. A suite of programs which function together within the Unitag architecture are described. This system (as well as a tokeniser) includes an analyser (Urdutag) based on lexical …

The theory of anisotropic thin- and thick-walled closed cross-section beams with coupled elastic deformations
… with available experimental data, other closed-form analysis, and refined beam finite element simulation. Good correlation between the present theory and other results was achieved for all test cases and layup sequences, regardless of beam cross-sectional configurations. Three-dimensional finite …

Micro active network after massive urban expansion
Urban form and transportation systems are closely related; each influences the other in different ways. This thesis explores this relationship, with a specific focus on systems for mega-cities in China, to pursue a new micro scale active mobility network supporting current shifts toward …

A Spatial Dynamic Approach to Three-Dimensional Gravity-Capillary Water Waves
… waves on water of finite-depth, which are uniformly translating in a horizontal propagation direction and periodic in a transverse direction, are considered. The exact Euler equations are formulated as a spatial dynamic system in which the variable used for the propagating direction is the …
