A generalized framework for complex system design and management
This thesis outlines a structured framework for complex system design and management. There have been and continue to be many efforts focused on defining the elusive generic System Engineering Process. I suggest one reason why industry, government, and academic efforts have had limited success in …

Maximum-entropy principle approach to the multiple travelling salesman problem and related problems
… Specific focus is given to developing a generalized framework for this problem that can be applied to any number of variants on the basic formulation. Additional consideration is given to the applications of this generalized framework to other variants on the travelling salesman problems …

Extended discrete choice models : integrated framework, flexible error structures, and latent variables
… we present, empirically demonstrate, and test a generalized methodological framework that integrates the extensions of discrete choice. The basic technique for integrating the methods is to start with the multinomial logit formulation, and then add extensions that relax simplifying assumptions …

A taxonomy of participatory design projects in architecture
… of the existing documentation does not provide a generalized framework under which to analyze how participatory design techniques are applied. As a result, it is difficult to understand the benefits or drawbacks to using participatory design. It can also be difficult to evaluate in which context a …

Analysis, development, and control of multi-degree-of-freedom passive haptic devices
… have not been examined. This thesis proposes a generalized framework for analyzing and controlling higher-DOF devices and examining the effects of the kinematic structure on the force output capability. A first of its kind 3-Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) parallel passive haptic device was developed …

Estimated Business Interruptions Losses of the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
A generalized framework of Economic Analysis of natural and man-made disasters is applied to the estimation of business interruption losses associated with an oil spill. Specifically, this framework is applied to the Deepwater Horizon incident which occurred on April 20, 2010 and resulted in the …

Application and Evaluation of Unified Medical Language System Resources to Facilitate Patient Information Acquisition through Enhanced Vocabulary Coverage
… themes of this research are, 1) to develop a generalized framework for studying the process of patient information acquisition and 2) to develop and evaluate automated techniques for identifying domain-specific vocabulary terms contained in, or missing from, a standardized controlled medical …

Essays on Network formation games
… in a Nash equilibrium. In Chapter 3, we study a generalized model of signed network formation game where the players can choose not only positive and negative links but also neutral links. We check whether the results of the signed network formation model in the literature still hold in our …

Use of discrete choice models with recommender systems
… a software package that allows the adaptation of generalized discrete choice models to the recommendation task. Using a generalized framework that integrates recent advances and extensions of discrete choice allows the estimation of complex models that give a realistic representation of the …

Investigation of the Hemodynamics of Coronary Arteries - Effect of Stenting
… in conditions similar to in-vivo conditions in a generalized framework, thus providing insights for stent design and deployment. Three dimensional, time accurate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in a pulsatile flow with fluid-structure interaction (FSI) were carried out in realistic …

Quantization Dimension for Probability Definitions
… as well as some basic facts. We develop a generalized framework for the quantization dimension which extends the current theory to include a wider range of probability measures. This framework uses the theory of thermodynamic formalism and the multifractal spectrum. It is shown that at …

The Politics of the Future for Sustainable Energy: Controversy, Realism, and the International Energy Agency's World Energy Outlook
In this thesis I develop a generalized framework for understanding the relationship between politics and the observation of the future for sustainable energy and use it to explore the connections between politics and controversy surrounding a prominent energy future report. Given that the …

GS*. An Adaptive Bias Framework for Classification Algorithms
… this work takes a different approach. First, a generalized framework for SBL classification algorithms is proposed. This allows existing biases of several algorithms to be unified and consolidated under one roof, with the original algorithms corresponding to specific settings of "bias switches". …

Walking droplets confined by applied or topographically-induced potentials : dynamics and stability
… range of this hydrodynamic system, we consider a generalized pilot-wave framework, in which the relative magnitudes of dynamical parameters are altered relative to those relevant in the fluid system. In this generalized framework, we validate the theoretical result of Durey et al. relating the …
