A Study of Planned Organizational Change at General Dynamics
… change that occurred between 1986 and 1989 at General Dynamics Corporation. The purpose of the study was to determine how persons in leading positions can realistically expect to plan and implement significant, planned organizational changes. The changes specifically studied were those which …

Dynamics of Regime Evolution: Modeling Agent-Structure Interactions in the International System
… both international regime growth as well as the general dynamics between agent and structure. Finally, the model’s insights are applied to the emerging cyber security regime in order to make meaningful predictions about how the emerging regime’s structure is likely to evolve.

Synchronous manufacturing : implementing "pull" production in a job shop environment
… Furthermore, the joint venture project between General Dynamics Electric Boat and Northrop Grumman Newport News to build the next fleet of Virginia Class Submarines has budgetary incentives tied to the contract. In order to meet these expectations, Northrop Grumman Newport News shipyard has …

Essays on trust and reputation portability in digital platform ecosystems
… in digital platform ecosystems. At the outset, general dynamics of trust-building, reputation, and data portability are formally introduced and conceptualized. Subsequently, from a user’s perspective, the economic effectiveness of porting reputation across electronic markets is evaluated in a …

The defining characteristics of alternative food initiatives in Ireland: a social movement battling for an alternative food future?
… involves identifying the characteristics and general dynamics of AFIs. Bourdieu’s theory of practice, and the theories of field and capital, are the concepts applied. The research then uses these findings in the second tier of analysis concerned with relating AFI characteristics and dynamics …

Inflationary Models: Observables and Viability
… In the rst part of this thesis I describe the general dynamics of a single canonically coupled in aton with a fourth order polynomial potential. This model can produce an in ationary spectrum consistent with a wide range of observations. However, there are possible observations that it would …

Automated synthesis of low-rank stochastic dynamical systems using the tensor-train decomposition
… account uncertainty. In order to tackle more general problems, several computational frameworks that allow for more general dynamics and uncertainty to be investigated. Furthermore, all of the existing computational algorithms suffer from the curse of dimensionality, the run time scales …

Understanding the Characteristics of Precipitation and Their Response to Climate Change
… exponents. Third, I further investigate the general dynamics behind tropical precipitation and present a 2-dimensional conceptual model to study tropical convective organization. The model uses the column moist static energy (CMSE) as a prognostic variable and has terms parameterized by …

A System Dynamics Model of the Operations, Maintenance and Disposal Costs of New Technologies for Ship Systems
… more efficiently and will minimize costs. System Dynamics has been used to understand and simulate how complex systems of people and technologies operate over time. Decisions (such as how much funding is allocated when in a technology life-cycle) that occur temporally or in a complex environment …

Influence of Aerosols During Amine-Based CO2 Capture: Evolution and Control
… I: A process engineering coupled aerosol dynamics model was developed to quantify vapor- and aerosol-based amine emissions in realistic absorber conditions. A process simulation model was developed in ASPEN PLUS accounting for the multicomponent heat and mass transfer, solution …
