BOTTLED FANTASIES: COLLEGE STUDENTS' INTERPRETATIONS OF ALCOHOL ADVERTISING AND ITS EFFECTS
… framework of the Message Interpretation Process (MIP) model, this study involves how college students interpret alcohol advertising, how their desire, wishful thinking and expectancies toward drinking may account for both the impact of exposure to alcohol advertising and reasons for drinking. …

ESSAYS ON OPTIMIZATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGIES FOR SUSTAINABLE SYSTEMS: INSIGHTS FROM FRACTAL DIMENSION IMAGE ANALYSIS, PHOTOVOLTAIC MANUFACTURING RESILIENCE, AND FRESH PRODUCE INFRASTRUCTURE
… engineering increasingly relies on quantitative models that connect methodological advances with real supply-chain decisions in energy and food systems. This dissertation integrates two pillars of systems engineering—optimization and supply-chain analysis—across three essays: (i) an …

Efficient yard storage in transshipment container hub ports
… are both heavy and concentrated. First, an MIP model is developed to solve the yard template problem, in which the consignment strategy is used to store export and transshipment containers in dedicated storage locations to reduce the reshuffling level and a high-low workload balancing …

Methods for Generating Alternative Solutions to Environmental Planning Problems
An optimization model is not a perfect representation of a complex environmental planning problem because not all important objectives can be captured in a model. Optimization models can be used in a planning process to generate planning alternatives that are good and different so that the analyst …

A PATH ENUMERATION REFORMULATION OF THE SCHEDULE MIXED INTEGER PROGRAM SUPPORTING EXPEDITIONARY ADVANCED BASE OPERATIONS.
The U.S. Marine Corps needs an accurate model for analyzing its logistical needs in support of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). EABO is a doctrinal method used by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps for denying adversary forces access to the maritime global commons. Deployment and …

The Effects Of Diffusion, Capillary Heterogeneity, And Porous Media Morphology On CO2 Migration In Porous Media
The Modified Invasion Percolation (MIP) model was used to simulate the invasion of CO2 into a medium initially saturated with water and the style of capillary heterogeneity in combination with buoyancy and viscous forces were varied to yield 105 different simulation scenarios. Thereafter, the …

Investigating the Maximal Coverage by Point-based Surrogate Model for Spatial Facility Location Problem
… discrete points, and then solve the point-based model as a conventional facility location problem (FLP) according to a surrogate model. Solution performance is measured in terms of the percentage of continuous space actually covered in the original SFLP. In this dissertation I explore this …

Optimizing In-Garage Charging Schedules to Maximize Electrified Mileage for Electric Bus Fleets
… speeds. The proposed mixed-integer programming (MIP) model maximizes total electrified mileage while considering constraints related to charger configuration, block schedules, energy requirements, and battery capacity. To solve this complex problem in a reasonable timeframe, we further decompose …

A Sequence-Pair and Mixed Integer Programming Based Methodology for the Facility Layout Problem
… on a methodology of mixed integer programming (MIP) models. However, these MIP-FLP models can only solve problems with a limited number of departments to optimality due to a large number of binary variables used in the models to prevent departments from overlapping. Our research centers around …
