Discrete, recursive supply chain model for solar panel manufacturing
A computer model to optimize global expansion of the production of solar panels is presented. The model is modular, extensible, and fast compared to existing specialized optimization software which use integer linear programming. The model inputs are (1) a tree of the assembly, or bill of materials …

A multi-echelon supply chain model for strategic inventory assessment through the deployment of kanbans
… across the many tiers within their supply chains. With the complexities introduced by the variability in the demand for finished goods as well as by the variability in lead-time of transportation, procurement, production and administrative activities, corporations have turned to …

Flags of Caution for Future Downturns in the Housing Market Prediction Using the Markov Chain Model
… the real estate bubble. In this study the Markov Chain Model was used as a forecasting tool to evaluate the status of home mortgages and to demonstrate the capability to predict future housing economic crises. Statistical data from both eras were gathered and shown in a transition matrix.

Comprehensive Poultry Supply Chain Model with Vertical and Horizontal Linkages: Implication of Domestic and International Shocks
… it is underserved by large-scale supply-chain and trade models. </p> <p>In this study, to fill this gap in the literature, we build a comprehensive supply-chain model of the US broiler industry that accounts for corn and soybean, feed mills, breeders, hatcheries, grow-out farms, broiler …

A bacterial algorithm for surface mapping using a Markov modulated Markov chain model of bacterial chemotaxis
… software agent (based on a low-level model of the biochemical network responsible for chemotaxis) on a surface or objective function. Towards that end, a discrete Markov modulated Markov chains model of the chemotaxis pathway is described and used. Results from simulations using one- …

Implication of the Jensen's inequality for system dynamic simulations : application to a plug & play integrated refinery supply chain model
… effect of considering uncertainty to a dynamic model because of Jensen's Inequality. This is done using as an example the supply chain of a refinery, which illustrates that the difference between probable and expected results can be significant, arguing that the distributions and probabilities …

Building a resilient supply chain model in the Middle East Region: an empirical study on Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry
Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) supply chains (SCs) are becoming more and more vulnerable to different types of risks due to the increasing complexity of markets, uncertainties, and turbulence, especially in the Middle East Region (MER). The main reason behind this is the political and economic …

Modeling person-to-person contaminant transport in enclosed environments
… steady-state computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. In the aircraft cabin, the transient particle concentrations were measured at the breathing zones of each passenger. The experimental data were used for evaluating the transient particle models in this study. ^ When applying the CFD models, …

Exploring the Impact of Virtual Medicine on the Patient-Centered Medical Home
… Medical Home (PCMH) is a health care delivery model where a patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal physician who provides comprehensive and appropriate health care. Enhanced health care accessibility is one of the desired characteristics in a PCMH, which supports patient access to …

The design and implementation of CHITRA92, a system to empirically model concurrent software performance
… activity of a program and produces a semi-Markov chain model of the program's behavior. This model can be parameterized to predict behavior of a program and identify the performance bottlenecks in the program. The important contributions of the CHITRA92 system are: • The dynamic activity of a …

The dynamics of global financial crises
This research aims to develop a Markov chain model of the transmission of financial crises. It uses a mathematical programming framework to determine the transition probabilities that describe the crisis dynamics. The framework allows for modelling and comparing various channels of contagion, such …

Theoretical study of single-molecule spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy in condensed phases
In this thesis, theoretical models and computer simulations are employed to study several problems of single-molecule spectroscopy and vibrational spectroscopy in condensed phases. The first part of the thesis concentrates on studying dynamic disorders probed by single molecule fluorescence …

Drug Substance and Drug Product Manufacturing Strategy Assessment for siRNAs
… most feasible ones to be analyzed with a supply chain model and eventually a business model. The supply chain model will include resilience and weak link analysis, which will result in a risk-to-cost input for the overall business model, currently built only for Asset #1 due to limited …

Vocational Survival: Expanding the Film Value Chain for the Independent Filmmaker
… argument for expanding the traditional FilmValue Chain model in order to address what it means to be an independent filmmaker. The research focuses specifically on the filmmaker’s journey or course of action, rather than on film aesthetics or artistry, and ultimately presents this as a structured …

The dynamics of global financial crises
This thesis presents a Markov chain model of the transmission of financial crises. Using bilateral trade data and a measure of exchange market pressure, it develops a method to determine a set of transition probabilities that describe the crisis transmission dynamics. The dynamics are characterized …

Perspectives on the management of customer/supplier relationships in a business-to-business, capital goods environment.
… before finding expression in the Service-Profit Chain model. The application of this model to a business-to-business environment is carefully considered throughout. From a wide client base, not all customers could be accommodated in the research and so a method of customer selection is outlined. …

Stochastic Dynamics of Cascading Failures in Electric-Cyber Infrastructures
… is to build a probabilistic framework for modeling cascading failures in power grids while capturing their interactions with the coupled communication systems so that the risk of cascading failures in the composite complex electric-cyber infrastructures can be examined, analyzed and …

Modeling Transition Probabilities for Loan States Using a Bayesian Hierarchical Model
A Markov Chain model can be used to model loan defaults because loans move through delinquency states as the borrower fails to make monthly payments. The transition matrix contains in each location a probability that a borrower in a given state one month moves to the possible delinquency states the …

Monitoring Markov Dependent Binary Observations with a Log-Likelihood Ratio Based CUSUM Control Chart
… work on this subject used the first-order Markov chain model for the data. Increasing the order of dependence above one by extending a standard Markov chain model entails an exponential increase of both the number of parameters and the dimension of the transition probability matrix. In this …
