Quantitative Model for the Prediction of Hydrodynamic Size of Nonionic Reverse Micelles
… composite experimental design was used to quantitatively model reverse micelle size as a function of ω, [NP], and r. The model has demonstrated the capability of predicting the mean diameter of micelles from 4 to 13 nm with a precision of ± 2 nm as measured by DLS. This quantitative …

A quantitative model for the asset liability management of a Pension Fund
… directly related to these topics and proposes a quantitative method (mainly based on stochastic optimal control theory) to determine the optimal investment policy of a pension fund’s wealth, under financial and actuarial risks. The thesis unfolds as follows: Chapter 1 includes a basic …

A quantitative model in dialect subgrouping: The case of modern Wu dialects
This thesis is intended to present a new model for the comparative study of dialects with the quantitative measurements, and under this new model, the subgrouping of the Modern Wu dialects, one of the major groups of Chinese dialects, is carried out, based on the syllable initials.

A quantitative model of density-dependent habitat selection: integrating isodar and isoleg theories
Numerous conceptual models have been advanced to explain density-dependent habitat selection, but few models address multiple species interactions and even fewer simulate these phenomena. Moreover, the development of quantitative models that incorporate multiple species interactions is in its …

Developmental change in adolescents' psychological and legal competence to consent to abortion: An empirical study and quantitative model of social policy
… to consent to abortion, and a mathematical model for comparing alternative social policies governing adolescent abortion. The empirical study examines the legal assumption that minors are not competent to consent to abortion, and assesses age and psychosocial variables as predictors of legal …

Risk mitigation of pipeline assets through improved corrosion modeling
… by corrosion. First a corrosion simulation model was developed to predict the number of leaks in each geographic area in PG&E's service area. Past meteorological data, past pollution data, 2014 atmospheric corrosion inspections on 2.27 million meters, leak data, and gas system asset …

Power transfer through strongly coupled resonances
… distances in excess of two meters. We present a quantitative model describing the power transfer which matches the experimental results to within 5%, and perform a finite element analysis of the objects used. We finally discuss the robustness of the mechanism proposed and consider safety and …

Wireless transfer of electric power
… with 60% total efficiency. We also developed a quantitative model of our helical resonators which predicted the resonant frequency with an accuracy of 5%.

Essays on Building Growth From Ideas
… can alleviate the initial misallocation. A quantitative model is built to perform some thought experiments which suggest that the economic growth rate can be increased by reducing the frictions in this market. The second chapter investigates why some organizations and societies are more …

Systemic analysis and modelling of diagnostic errors in medicine
… process as a system and develops a systemic model of diagnostic errors by implementing system dynamics modelling combined with regression analysis. It aims to propose a better way of studying diagnostic errors as well as a deeper understanding of how factors affect the number of possible …

Modeling consumer insight strategy in product development process : a decision and implementation framework for product managers
… and identifies gaps between the theoretical model and industry practice. Thereafter, this thesis proposes a technique to compare the quality of different consumer research methods at a given point in the process. Using this information, this thesis builds a Quantitative model to simulate the …

Mitotic Dynamics of Normally and Mis-attached Chromosomes and Post-mitotic Behavior of Missegregated Chromosomes
… mitotic chromosome. By combining computational modeling and quantitative light microscopy, we established a quantitative model of the forces and regulators controlling metaphase chromosome movement in the mammalian cell line derived from Potorous tridactylis kidney epithelial cells (PtK1) …

Investigating successful implementation of technologies in Developing nations
… of appropriate technology were summarized and a quantitative model was created to tabulate the data. Factors of local maintenance, local production, and local need of a technology were found to be the most important to sustainable technology implementation. The model was then tested with a …

Quantifying Impact of Cyber Actions on Missions or Business Processes: A Multilayer Propagative Approach
… objectives of this research are (1) developing a quantitative model to determine the impact propagation within a layer of an enterprise (i.e., asset, service or business process layer); (2) developing a quantitative model to determine the impact propagation among different layers within an …

Modeling of phototransduction in vision systems
… adaptation, development and disease processes, a quantitative model was developed based on the biochemical reaction kinetics in the phototransduction cascade and experimental data. A set of differential equations were derived to predict the electrical response of photoreceptors to light and system …

Ordinal Logistic Regression Analysis of RFID Doorway Portal Performance as a Function of System Design Parameters
… of a RFID system, the response observations were modeled under an ordinal logistic regression model. The selection of a categorical analysis method was due to the flaws associated with the initial design of the experiment, which resulted in high valued observations which would have skewed the …

The Fiscal Resilience of American Cities
… context while seeking to establish whether a quantitative model of analysis can be meaningfully derived and applied to major American cities. Using major recessions from 1977 to 2015 as an exogenous shock, the values for fiscal health are assessed temporally to arrive at an assessment for …
