Roman Itineraries: A Cultural Approach.
… of these instances of modified or repurposed itineraries are the result of one or more syncretic processes. Joseph Maran’s more fluid approach to transculturalism, thinking about culture and not cultures, may be a more suitable way to understand them. In response to change and new influences …

Writing Away: Old Affinities and New Itineraries in Contemporary African Writing
This project is an attempt to capture a particular impulse within the current wave of cultural production emerging from Africa and its new diaspora. It is a reading of five contemporary writers whose works indicate an awareness of the intellectual genealogies of African cultural productions but …

A case study of providing object itineraries as provenance for cultural artifacts in a museum
… strategies for art educators to provide object itineraries as part of the provenance for artifacts in art museums and schools. To guide my research, I explore the following questions: What are the complex cultural histories behind the artifacts presented? How do curators and educators in the …

Advancing transport modelling for health applications
… in health depending on people’s needs, itineraries and choices. There is an increasing research focus on understanding the health impacts of policies targeting travel behaviour. For example, health impact assessments estimate the health effects of behavioural shifts, usually with a focus …

A decision problem involving the introduction of RTOL aircraft into commercial air transportation systems
… considered in this thesis is, for a given set of itineraries, determine the itineraries for which aircraft (RTOL or CTOL, conventional takeoff and landing) are to be assigned such that the amount of fuel used, delay and noise levels are to be minimized. These assignments are subject to aircraft, …

The development of British First World War remembrance on the battlefield from 1914 to 1929
… outside the framework of tours and published itineraries, and made their own attempts to connect with personal memories enshrined in the landscape. Section A of the thesis examines the itineraries offered by published guidebooks – firstly in the well-known Michelin guidebooks translated from …

Seeds of exchange: collecting for Russia's apothecary and botanical gardens in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
… of the eighteenth centuries. It focuses on the itineraries of collection and the spaces of cultivation established by herbalists, doctors, and naturalists in the employ of the Apothecary (Medical) Chancellery and the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. In doing so it investigates how methods of …

Itinerary-based airline fleet assignment
… trade-off and the multi-leg nature of passenger itineraries. We detail limitations of the current fleet assignment practices. In an attempt to alleviate these limitations, we present a new paradigm for fleet assignment that better estimates the quantity of revenue lost (called spill costs) when …

Metrics and methods of improving airline schedule reliability
… are defined based on the concept of alternative itineraries (Coverage) and alternative independent itineraries (Robustness) that connect two locations. These are the Flight Options and the Flight Protection Options, respectively. Fifteen methods to modify flight schedule are proposed. One method, …

British travellers in Switzerland 1814-1860
… considered, in particular, their duration, the itineraries followed, and the responses of travellers to these itineraries. In order to build up as objective a picture of possible, evidence was sought from two different but complementary sources. The first comprised passport and other registers. …

Entangled By Salt: Historical Archaeology of Seafarers and Things in the Venezuelan Caribbean, 1624–1880
… developing and operationalizing the concept of itineraries of things. Diachronic change through time in entanglements will be explored by means of the concept of assemblages of practice. as an interdisciplinary historical archaeological project, this dissertation research employs the documentary …

Passenger-to-train assignment model based on automated data
… transaction to one (or multiple) feasible train itineraries. Key inputs to the model include the passenger walking speed distribution at stations. The thesis also develops methods to infer the parameters of the speed distribution using AFC and ATR data, while prior methods used either manually …

Constellations and anti-corridors
… of options whereby individuals with different itineraries can perceive and move through a field of spatial choices resulting in ideally perceived and desired spatial constellations. This thesis proposes a prototype for an anti-corridic airport/ intermodal hub.

Modeling of Airline and Passenger Dynamics in the National Airspace System (NAS)
… based on the adjusted 100% international itineraries including pure international itineraries plus the non-CONUS itineraries. The total number of DOI enplanements is estimated to grow from 37.3 million in 1990 to 79.4 million in 2007. 193 CONUS airports are estimated to have at least …

Airline fleet assignment and schedule design : integrated models and algorithms
… passengers are re-accommodated on alternate itineraries in the system. In this dissertation, we develop new fleet assignment models that capture network effects, spill, and recapture. Another benefit of one of our models is its tractability and potential for further integration with other …

Degradable airline scheduling : an approach to improve operational robustness and differentiate service quality
… assign flight legs with high revenue itineraries in the higher priority layer without adding aircraft or changing the schedule, and differentiate the service quality for passengers in different priority layers. Passengers in the high priority layers have much less delay and fewer …

Estimating train passenger load from automated data systems : application to London Underground
… attempts to identify the selected train level itineraries through a temporal and spatial matching process. As a result of this process, the model is designed to estimate passenger loads, walk times, and the number of left behind passengers. The thesis will then assess the accuracy of these …

Beyond the asylum: Colonial psychiatry in French Indochina, 1880-1940
… family homes. Together, these individual patient itineraries challenge our notion of the colonial asylum as a closed setting where patients rarely left, run by experts who enjoyed broad and unquestioned authority. Instead, they reveal how ideas about what it meant to be abnormal, as well as normal …

Integrated optimization model for airline schedule design : profit maximization and issues of access for small markets
… model, that determines passenger preference for itineraries. We simultaneously establish frequency, departure times, fleet assignment, passenger loads and revenue within a competitive environment. Optimization methods often lead to extreme schedule decisions such as eliminating service to …
