Economically optimum design of cusum charts when there is a multiplicity of assignable causes
… and risk factors of the process to the long run average loss cost per hour for the process. Optimum designs for various sets of cost and risk factors are found by minimizing the long run average loss-cost per hour of the process with respect to the design parameters of a cusum chart. Optimization …

Numerical Loss Prediction of high Pressure Steam Turbine airfoils
… of the trailing edge. It was found that the average loss coefficient was low, owing to the fact that the flow over the airfoils was well behaved. The loss coefficient also showed a slight decrease with exit Mach number for all three profiles. The mid radius and tip profiles showed near …

Retrofitting unreinforced concrete masonry to resist tornado loading
… industry billions of dollars and results in an average loss of 200 lives per year in the United States. Accountable for many of these structural failures, buildings with walls of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) are incapable of withstanding the magnitude of forces brought on by a tornado, and the …

Active living in municipal parks and recreation : a case study
… if the trends we are looking at continue. The average loss of life is about 15 years, and there is an average reduction in quality oflife by about 20 years (Jackson, 2007). This thesis is about municipal parks and recreation, an agency that controls and limits physical activity opportunity. It …

Game theory analysis of aircraft manufacturer innovation strategies in the face of increasing airline fuel costs
… 12% of connections, compared to a system-wide average loss of 2.8%. Increased effective fuel costs will provide incentives for airlines to improve fleet fuel efficiency, reducing the environmental impacts of aviation, but may cause an uneven distribution of social and economic impacts if small …

Impact of free banking on the free banking market
… the failure rate, the below par rate, and the average loss per dollar. Each of these measures reflects a different aspect of banking behavior and each is examined in order to determine the effect of the provision and the effect of economic activity on the behavior of the free banks. The …

Crops, pesticides, and honey bee disease
… of 2006 marked an observation of large scale losses of managed honey bee colonies (vanEngelsdorp et al, 2009). Since then, there has been an average loss of 30% of colonies in beekeeping operations across the United States over the winter months (vanEngelsdorp et al, 2012). Total honey bee …

Biotic control of LNAPL longevity - laboratory and field- scale studies
… saturations may influence processes governing losses. Understanding long-term rates is central to anticipating LNAPL longevity under both natural and engineered conditions. Herein, laboratory and field-scale modeling studies were conducted to evaluate LNAPL longevity. Laboratory studies …

A framework for improving internet end-to-end performance and availability using multi-path overlay networks
… studies have been conducted. As a result, i) a loss model and a hybrid forecasting technique are proposed to capture, and subsequently predict end-to-end loss/delay behaviors; with this predictive capability, overlay agents can, for example, select overlay paths that potentially offer good …

A high-current and low-loss high-temperature superconducting cable for nuclear fusion applications
… and fusion magnets, is their relatively high AC loss. In this dissertation, a novel high-current and low-loss HTS cable, Patterned superconductors for AC loss minimization and current maximization (PSALM), is proposed and investigated to tackle the AC loss problem. Compared with the existing HTS …

Contributions to quality improvement methodologies and computer experiments
… robust design optimization is often based on average quadratic loss computed as if the posterior mean were the true response function, which can give misleading results. We propose optimization criteria derived by taking expectation of the average quadratic loss with respect to the posterior …
