Robot Motions that Mitigate Uncertainty
This dissertation addresses the challenge of robot decision making in the presence of uncertainty, specifically focusing on robot motion decisions in the context of deep learning-based perception uncertainty. The first part of this dissertation introduces a risk-aware framework for path planning …

Mitigate Negative Effects in Spillover Crises
… the efficacy of crisis response strategies. To mitigate the negative effects of spillover crises, issuing responses using the denial, bolstering, or differentiation strategies performed better than no response in generating more favorable brand attitudes. The findings show that for a …

Does accounting quality mitigate risk shifting?
This study examines the effect of financial reporting quality on risk shifting, an investment distortion that is caused by shareholders' incentives to engage in high-risk projects that are detrimental to debt holders. I use asymmetric timeliness to proxy for a dimension of accounting quality that …

Combinational Therapy to Mitigate α-Dicarbonyl Toxicity
<p>Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia that affects 30 million children and adults in the United States alone. Patients suffering from diabetes have high concentrations of reactive α-dicarbonyls (α-DCs) like, methylglyoxal (MGO). The abundance of α-DCs form …

Can silhouette execution mitigate VM boot storms?
Server virtualization enables data centers to run many VMs on individual hosts - this reduces costs, simplifies administration and facilitates management. Improvement in hardware and virtualization technology, coupled with the use of virtualization for desktop machines with modest steady-state …

Proving presence and locality to mitigate compromised smartphone scenarios
… of possession over the compromised device. To mitigate the significant security gaps revealed by the rDTO threat model, this research proposes Proof of Presence and Locality (PoPL), a novel security model aimed at verifying both user presence and locality. The verification of user presence …

Air Injection Technique to Mitigate Liquefaction beneath Shallow Foundations
Historical and recent earthquakes often remind the need for taking precautions against earthquake-induced liquefaction damage that structures on shallow foundations can suffer. Air injection technique has the potential to improve the soil supporting new and existing structures. There is, however, …

Allocation strategy for production network designed to mitigate risk
… for a fast ramp-up. Furthermore, helping Amgen mitigate the risks of geographic concentration, RMS may typically produce only a portion of global demand for any product. Given this situation, this thesis develops a product allocation strategy that will: 1) minimize the financial cost of filling …

Using Silvopasture to Mitigate Heat Stress in Grazing Beef Cattle
<p>This study evaluated the impact of silvopasture on mitigating heat stress in grazing beef cattle by comparing physiological and behavioral responses between shaded and non-shaded pastures. Twenty-two multiparous cows were monitored over a 20-day summer trial in East Texas. Data were collected on …
