Nesting Automated Design Modules In An Interconnected Framework
<p>This thesis seeks to extend the PDG methodology by developing a generalized formal method for nesting PDGs in an interconnected system. A procedure for decomposing an individual PDG into reusable modules will be defined and a software architecture will be presented which takes advantage of these …

Defect engineering strategies for solar grade silicon and their optimization by predictive simulation
… by a standard industrial P diffusion gettering (PDG) during solar cell processing and by solid-liquid segregation during crystal growth. It is shown that the main reduction of total impurity concentrations takes place during crystallization whereas PDG during solar cell fabrication mainly allows …

Mechanistic-Empirical Modeling of Permanent Deformation in Asphalt Concrete Layers
… mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide (M E PDG), the incremental-recursive mechanistic-empirical CalME model (CalME), and the PErmanent Deformation of asphalt concrete layer for ROads (PEDRO) model generally showed both useful features and limitations. The M E PDG results were more accurate …

Linear viscoelastic characteristics of Michigan asphalt mixtures and the effect of sample size on material properties
… Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG) is becoming the state-of-the-practice in both newly constructed and rehabilitated pavement designs. A number of different material inputs are required by the M-E PDG, and accurate measurement of these inputs is crucial for the accuracy of the …

Effects of Variable Payoff Structures on Cooperative Behaviors in a Repeated Prisoners Dilemma Game
… using a Repeated Prisoners Dilemma Game (PDG). Eight graduate students served as participants and played 12 occurrences of the PDG with varying amounts of payoffs for cooperation or defection (non-cooperation). A reversal design experiment was conducted completely remotely, with the …

Prediction of permanent deformations in asphalt concrete using the mechanistic-empirical pavement design guide
… Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (M-E PDG) model used for calculation of permanent deformation in asphalt layers was to be evaluated. It was accomplished by accelerated loading testing of two flexible pavements with the Heavy Vehicle Simulator (HVS), specimen production, laboratory …

A Sparse Program Dependence Graph For Object Oriented Programming Languages
The Program Dependence Graph (PDG) has achieved widespread acceptance as a useful tool for software engineering, program analysis, and automated compiler optimizations. This thesis presents the Sparse Object Oriented Program Dependence Graph (SOOPDG), a formalism that contains elements of …

Cloneless: Code Clone Detection via Program Dependence Graphs with Relaxed Constraints
<p>Code clones are pieces of code that have the same functionality. While some clones may structurally match one another, others may look drastically different. The inclusion of code clones clutters a code base, leading to increased costs through maintenance. Duplicate code is introduced through a …
