Lane departure avoidance system
… reduce the number of accidents. Focusing on lane departure, a leading cause of crashes involving fatalities, we examine a lane-keeping system proposed by Minoiu Enache et al.They proposed a switched linear feedback (LMI) controller and provided two switching laws, which limit driver torque and …

Improving aircraft departure time predictability
… a forecasting model is described that improves departure predictions over those of Collaborative Decision Making (CDM), reducing error by up to 30% for a given day. This model propagates delay from incoming flights to outgoing flights by using minimum turn times calculated from Airline Service …

Arrival / departure : architecture of dislocation
Our identities are defined by a qualitative set of parameters that are at once universal and site specific. We are, as an old saying puts it, "products of our environment." Our knowledge and our beings are constantly being tested and changed through our interactions, both physical and cerebral, in …

Enhanced coalescence-induced jumping droplet departure
Water vapor condensation on superhydrophobic surfaces has received much attention in recent years due to its ability to shed water droplets at length scales three decades smaller than the capillary length (~ 1mm) via coalescence induced droplet jumping. Jumping-droplet condensation has been …

Predicting student departure: academic integration and other factors that predict departure among nontraditional students at a commuter university
… model that identified variables that predict departure among nontraditional students at a commuter institution. This study explored Braxton et al. (2004) theory of student departure in commuter colleges and universities, particularly proposition 13 which states that student entry …

On the control of airport departure operations.
This thesis is focused on airport departure operations; its objective is to assign a value to surface surveillance information within a collaborative framework. The research develops a cooperative concept that improves the control of departure operations at busy airports and evaluates its merit …

Employee Departure from Organizations: Three Empirical Essays
… includes three essays which focus on employee departure from organizations. In the first two essays, I study how employee departure allows individuals to capture more value from their firms. The third essay examines the effect of employee departure on firm performance. Each essay identifies an …

A dynamic model for aircraft poststall departure
… and applied to the problem of aircraft poststall departure. The model consists of an aerodynamics package used interactively with a six-degree-of-freedom flight simulator. The aerodynamics are computed via a nonlinear lifting line theory with unsteady wake effects due to a discrete, nonplanar …

Leadership exit: the departure of provincial party leaders
… and were less susceptible to election-related departures than less successful leaders. Little evidence was found to support the hypothesis that C.C.F. / N.D.P. provincial parties which enjoyed some success in forming governments were any more competitive (from the perspective of leadership …

Validation of Goals for Pre-Departure Missionary Orientation
… study attempted to identify valid goals for pre-departure programs and develop a framework for selecting them.</p> <p>Method</p> <p>The goals of the Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) Institute for World Mission (IWM) were selected for validation. IWM is a 4-6 week pre-departure orientation program that …

Impact and Departure Dynamics of Droplets and Bubbles
… will talk about the droplet impact and bubble departure dynamics that are happening on various surfaces. In Chapters 2 and 3, we will explore how raindrops can transmit plant pathogens. When the raindrop impacts the infected wheat leaf, the micron-sized dry spore can liberate from the surface …

Aircraft departure resistance prediction using structured singular values
… a meaningful and useful assessment of aircraft departure resistance in varying attitudes will increase proportionally. This thesis surveys some of the measures of departure susceptibility currently in use and examines a candidate for a new departure resistance criterion which offers distinct …

Vehicle Lane Departure Prediction Based On Support Vector Machines
… assistance systems, such as unintentional lane departure warning systems, have recently drawn much attention and R & D efforts. Such a system will assist the driver by monitoring the driver or vehicle behaviors to predict/detect driving situations (e.g., lane departure) and alert the driver to …

Supermarket Departure: An Urban Community Center for Food Education
This thesis explores the exchange of food not only as a commodity, but also as knowledge, manifested in a community center for food education in Seattle's Central District. Over the last century, the industrialization of the American food system has resulted in a dramatic increase of the scale of …

Analysis, modeling and control of the airport departure process
… steps: The first part deals with the analysis of departure operations and the characterization of airport capacity; the second part develops a new model of the departure process; and the third part of the thesis proposes and tests, both on the field and in simulations, algorithms for the control …

Aircraft stability and departure prediction using Eigenvalue Sensitivity analysis
A stability analysis and departure prediction method has been developed and coded in a MATLAB®-based software package called the Stability And Departure Analysis Tool using Eigenvalue Sensitivity (SADATES). Using eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis, SADATES is capable of performing a full-envelope …

Intercultural learning for international students: Designing a pre-departure orientation
… inbound exchange students participate in pre-departure orientations to prepare them for their experiences in the United States. It is vital that these pre-departure orientation programs lay the groundwork for mutual understanding by fostering intercultural sensitivity and developing …

Modeling and control of airport departure processes for emissions reduction
… approach is proposed that models the aircraft departure process as a queuing system. The departure taxi (taxi-out) time of an aircraft is represented as a sum of three components: the unimpeded taxi-out time, the time spent in the departure queue, and the congestion delay due to ramp and …
