On labeled paths
… investigation of their intersection, the labeled paths. This dissertation examines three results in the area of labeled path problems. The first result presents an empirical analysis of two context-free labeled all-pairs shortest-path algorithms using MapReduce as the experimental platform. The …

Three paths to Zion
This thesis project pursues the strategies to create urban design interventions that preserve and encourage multi-religious harmony in the contested sacred topography of Jerusalem. First, I observed the environmental and social qualities of religious coexistence by studying a pilgrimage site in …

Computing Paths in Massive Graphs
Graph is a widely used data structure for representing real-world entities and their relationships. Graph queries play an important role in the processing of graphs, and path queries are one of the most important types of query operations on graphs. A path query attempts to retrieve the path from …

Career Paths to Navy Admiral
… is to trace the most common professional career paths followed by male and female flag officers in the U.S. Navy and to examine how certain aspects of a military career might have influenced selection to the ranks of flag officer. In addition, this study explored: (1) how female flag officers …

Focus+Context via Snaking Paths
… depicting cylindrical structures along snaking paths that enables the structures themselves to become the transitions and focal areas, simultaneously. A method to automatically create a snaking path through space by applying a path finding algorithm is presented. A 3D curve is created based on …

Stress paths and collapsing soils
The design of footings and the accurate prediction of settlements is inherently difficult as the parameters involved vary considerably. The initial stage of the design consists of three steps. The first step is to define all the parameters required. The second step is to give quantitive values to …

Survivable paths in multilayer networks
… In single-layer net- works, a pair of disjoint paths can be used to provide protection for a source-destination pair. However, this approach cannot be directly applied to layered networks where disjoint paths may not always exist. In this thesis, we take a new approach which is based on finding …

Optimal Paths in Gliding Flight
… approach is developed for planning minimum-time paths, for a fixed speed glider, that are sub-optimal but are guaranteed to be feasible in the presence of unknown time-varying currents. Next the minimum-time problem for a glider with speed controls, that may vary between the stall speed and the …

Exogenous Influences and Paths To Activism
The focus of this research was to ascertain the indirect effects upon activism of intervening variables and recognized exogenous influences upon activism. In addition, this research also focused upon the differences and similarities of a recruited activist model and spontaneous activist model. …

Angle constrained paths in sensor networks
Short-length paths in geometric graphs are not necessarily feasible in sensor networks and robotics. Paths with sharp-turn angles cannot be used by robotic vehicles and tend to consume more energy in sensor networks; In this thesis, we investigate the development of short-length paths without …

Upset Paths and 2-Majority Tournaments
<p>In 2005, Alon, et al. proved that tournaments arising from majority voting scenarios have minimum dominating sets that are bounded by a constant that depends only on the notion of what is meant by a majority. Moreover, they proved that when a majority means that Candidate A beats Candidate B …

Radio Number for Fourth Power Paths
<p>A path on n vertices, denoted by Pn, is a simple graph whose vertices can be ordered so that two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are consecutive in the order. A fourth power path, Pn4, is obtained from Pn by adding edges between any two vertices, u and v, whose distance in Pn, denoted …

Leverages firms used in growing paths
… to strategic leverages or related to growth paths of firms. In chapter 3, a basic mechanism of leverages in business was analyzed by introducing the Leverage Driver Model. In chapter 4, the scope of the LDM was expanded to applying itself to leveraging between products and between firms. …

Reducing Curvature in Complex Tool Paths by Deviating from CAM-Produced Tool Paths Within a Tolerance Band
… to decrease high-curvature sections in tool paths for complex parts to achieve shorter machining times resulting in higher production rates. In the research sample cases, the algorithm decreased machining times by 1% to 9% for design-induced sections of high curvature and by 16% to 75% for …

Planning Practical Paths in High-Dimensional Space
… process for high DOF robots. The practicality of paths are formulated based on the notion of soft constraints found in the Planning Domain Definition Language 3 (PDDL3). A range of optimization strategies are developed targeted towards user-preferred qualities by integrating soft constraints in …

Printing Conductive Paths for Electronic Functional Devices
Printing inorganic and organic materials has been attracting plenty of researchers and scientists as an alternative to the conventional photolithography and electroless deposition methods due to the complications, time-consuming, size restrictions and high costs that these methods usually …
