Optimizing product testing in the electronics manufacturing industry
… capture as expected. In addition, industry benchmarking studies showed new forms of testing such as Highly Accelerated Stress Testing (HAST) are pushing the product testing earlier into the product life cycle where in-process tests such as Burn In may be reduced. In the case of HAST testing, …

Applying Critical Chain to improve the management of uncertainty in projects
… two product development projects. In addition, benchmarking studies of previous product development efforts at the same site and of another lead user of the tool were conducted to provide both qualitative and quantitative comparison data. Critical Chain appears to minimize schedule risk while …

Radiation Shielding of Fusion Systems
This thesis discusses the development, benchmarking and applications of activation dose analysis methods for fusion devices. The development and code logic of the Mesh Coupled Rigorous 2 Step (MCR2S) system is discussed. Following the development of the code, appropriate benchmarking studies were …

Network design models for intermodal logistics
… on Lagrangian and linear relaxations. These benchmarking studies show that the metaheuristic solution approaches are suitable for solving large intermodal network design problems. In order to bring practical relevance to this work, real world data is used with the actual footprint of …

Physics-based Estimates of Structural Material Quantities for Urban-level Embodied Carbon Assessment in Buildings
… proposed methodology is assessed through case studies to estimate embodied carbon and energy use intensities at the individual-building and urban scales. Results show the benefits of spatially mapping the distribution of embodied and operational carbon in the building stock and obtaining more …

Development of a Thermal Management Methodology for a Front-End DPS Power Supply
… system was the primary goal. A series of four benchmarking studies was used to verify the computational predictions. The first test compares predictions of a real system with thermocouple measurements, and the second compares computational predictions with infrared camera and thermocouple …

UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENTIAL ABUNDANCE IN MICROBIAL ECOLOGY USING COMMUNITY STRUCTURE.
… to reframe the question as one of influence. In benchmarking studies, where the performance of q2-Makarsa for DAA was compared against established methods such as ANCOM-BC and ANCOM-BC2, it consistently demonstrated superior performance in F1 scores when simulating using a third-party microbial …

Engineering TEV Protease Specificity: An Exploration of Machine Learning and High-Throughput Experimentation for Protein Design
… model performance and changing model rankings in benchmarking studies. Here we develop FLIGHTED, a Bayesian method of accounting for uncertainty by generating probabilistic fitness landscapes from noisy high-throughput experiments. We demonstrate how FLIGHTED can improve model performance on two …

Ab initio investigations of low Z materials under extreme conditions
… estimators. Then we will discuss our QMC based benchmarking method in both hydrogen and helium. The results of these benchmarking studies are then used in an attempt to resolve some major issues in the phase diagrams of hydrogen and hydrogen-helium mixtures. Lastly, we will present our results …
